    They would probably stay his sentence pending presidency, at which point he would self pardon and go full dictator, dooming the country

    The only hope for this country is either a senile genocide supporter winning in November, or a Big Mac induced heart attack

      He can’t pardon state crimes, only federal, and he can still run for president if he’s in jail.

      It would be interesting to have the sitting president do his term in jail though

      Not just winning, but winning decisively so the Court can’t give a victory to Trump anyway like they did for Bush. If there is any doubt, at all, about the election then Trump will probably be the next president.

      And rather than rallying his base to fight fascism, he’s browbeating them to vote blue no matter who. The president can’t fail, he can only be failed. 🙃
