I am also willing for you to go to jail.

And I'm guessing the judge also plays racquetball or something.

"If I lose to [Joe Biden], I don't know what I'm going to do -- I will never speak to you again. You'll never see me again." —DJ Trump

“I Am Willing to Go to Jail”

The master spinner of lies and deceit shits out just another lie.

He's a tease, never delivers the goods. Well, he did get fastfood delivered to the White House that one time. Food orders taken, food orders delivered.

When "food" is appended to describe something, the item in question is not often food. See: "cheese food".

"He got Mexican food delivered..."

One example of why using absolutes isn't accurate. 🤪

Ironically, "Mexican food" tends to imply actual food more often than, say, "Chinese food". 😬

I can think of maybe one way to get him to actually go through with it. Have NBC get in contact with him. Tell him they want to do a new season of the apprentice. Apprentice Reikers island.

DJ Trump - "Master Spinner of Lies and Deceit"

I can't help but read that like it could've been the name and motto of some alternate universe DJ that can't stop scratching those discs in the club.

I'm down for seeing it. I'm betting he will sob like a fucking baby.

"But he has a Secret Service detail! It can't be done!"

Sure it can. Solitary confinement with a Secret Service agent right outside the door in rotating shift.

Heh. I’m not sure the secret service even needs to.

At a certain point, “we’re withdrawing protection” needs to be on the table.

Unfortunately, secret service protection isn't just about physically protecting him. It's also about protecting the information that he knows.

How's that working out? Pretty sure that they didn't protect a bunch of info at his home.

It’s because there was a “no guns in the shitter” policy in place at Mar-A-Lago.

Ah. Good point, yes.

Though… I can think of cheaper ways to protect that information. We won’t talk about that, though. Don’t need a visit from the FBI.

I’m willing to gamble on him not actually remembering anything useful to those who would pay for it, hence the document hoarding.

Anyone with half a brain should know not to trust a thing he says. Yeah, if I were looking for intelligence info from him, I'd want the documents, too, not his word.

Is it?

In a normal situation yes. The protection is there to deal with leaks via kidnapping and interrogation.

Trump is, at least in semi-recent history, the only president who believes that the rules of state secrets do not apply to him.

I believe legally the President and their family get SS protection for life.

We also have never had a president end up a convicted felon. Personally I think that should warrant withdrawing secret service protections. Obviously he probably should keep the detail. But also fuck his traitor ass.

Huh I thought it was changed to 10yrs, but it was reverse in 2012 to be permanent.

For those who thought like I did.

They use the phrase, 'by law, the secret service is authorized to protect...', but it only lasts until his children are 16. The spouse is authorized until they remarry (i never understood that,).

I don't know what it would take for them not to provide that protection... but... I don't know that it's actually obligated so much as... heavily insisted upon.

The spouse is authorized until they remarry

Her last name changes and this was pre-internet?

In his defense he has been unlikable for the entirety of many people's lives

I remember seeing him in Home Alone: Lost in New York. I screamed at Kevin not to talk to creepy strangers.

Fun fact: Donald Trump is the only cast member of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York to be impeached twice by the US House of Representatives

Yeah, as a French kid I was blissfully unaware of who Donald Trump was, the cameo flew over my head and I found this scene pretty weird.

I'm American, it still flew over my head as a kid too. I thought he was the hotel manager lmao.

When folks claimed, in 2015, that no one hated trump before he ran for president (also forgetting he ran a sweaty napkin of a campaign years prior) I always loved playing a couple songs by the Coup.

They had someone pretending to be him rap in one from 1994 (the joke being that he's hated even by other rich assholes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrSk8Um2Sso (lyrics here: https://genius.com/The-coup-pimps-free-stylin-at-the-fortune-500-club-lyrics)

And in a powerful line in a track of their 2001 album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84bJG5qj96w (lyrics here: https://genius.com/The-coup-ghetto-manifesto-lyrics)

I practice this like a sport, met Donald Trump and he froze up

Standing on his Bentley yelling, "Pimps down, hoes up"

When folks claimed, in 2015, that no one hated trump before he ran for president

Of all the absurd claims that Trump supporters regularly make that's one of the most absurd. Donald Trump hates New York because the NYC elites didn't accept him as one of their own. The dude was a social pariah that had to resort to crashing parties because he'd never actually get an invite. Even the average New Yorker on the street has known since the '80s that he's nothing but a silver-spooned fame seeking circus clown.

folks claimed, in 2015, that no one hated trump before he ran for president

In the late '80s and early 90s, Spy magazine did an annual "Top 10 Worst People" issue and Donald Trump always made it. Hilariously/depressingly each entry had a "mitigating factor" - Trump's was always "at least he's not in politics".

Yes, I barely paid attention to such things, and I remember many people dunking on this asshole back in the 80s. I think Stern had him on later because just so many people hate this stuffed shirt daddy's boy long, long before he ran in 2015.

I've hated Donald Trump since he ruined our Christmas Eve in 1989.

When I was young, we had a family tradition of buying a new board game every year for Christmas. It was the one gift we would open as a family on Christmas Eve, so we'd have something new and fun to do together for the evening. In 1989, Milton Bradley released Trump: The Game. My older brother, who has always been interested in ways to get rich, was a fan of Donald Trump at the time (he got better), and insisted that we get the game that year. It was awful. We played it once and I don't think we ever opened the box again. It was somehow simultaneously too confusing and too simplistic to be fun.

I thought this was going to go in a different direction. I thought you were going to say that he ruined Christmas because he didn't pay for work performed by one of your parents. It was a thing! People in South Jersey used to hate him because of that. Many of them now love him and somehow seem to have forgotten the damage he did in the '90s.

Why do people work for people like that? I have a standing policy, you back charge or pay late and we are done professionally. I got one customer at work who threatened a back charge, didn't but threatened it, every single quote to them gets a 300% adder and I copy every department head. I call it the back-charge adder.

They didn't know that he wasn't going to pay them.

I'll freely admit my reasons for hating him back then were petty and childish. But in my defense, I was a child 🤣

Oh, God. I asked for that game as well and unfortunately got it. Worst board game I've ever played. Thought it would be close to Monopoly... or even Hotels which also came out in the 80s and was decent. Couldn't be more wrong. I think I still have it in my childhood closet. I would sell it on eBay, but I think I'm just gonna toss it into the garbage... while also letting the pieces fall out so no one else can play it. He's been grifting people his whole life.

Trump was the inspiration for alternate-1985 Biff Tannen in Back to the Future II.

Trump ran as a Democrat in the early years. People love to forget that little nugget

I think a great many people knew he was a gigantic douchebag in the 80s. People in the region - even sooner; probably knew in the 70s. It was clear he was a total asshat.

He really does seem to be trying to emulate Hitler, right down to running for office while in prison for an attempted coup. The only difference was that Hitler was not quite 40 when he did that. If Trump goes to actual prison (and doesn't get some cushy house arrest), he is old enough that he doesn't have much time left after that.

This is exactly it, but he foresees becoming some kind of political prisoner 'martyr for the cause' that will 'surely rally everyone behind him' for the election.

Unfortunately I'm not sure he's wrong.

I guarantee you he is terrified of prison, even if it is house arrest.

And I guarantee you no one filthy rich faces a real prison sentence that anyone of us would face. He'd be living better than most of us in prison. Even if he's found guilty of tons of crimes they'll find a way he doesn't have to go to prison though, because all bullshit aside, they're all friends. Remember Clinton's secret memo to boost Trump up in the primaries?

I fucking hate this. If I ever go to jail I am pretty sure it would be a hellish experience that would break me, even if I survived until release my life would be over. I can't see any way he gets more than fines and house arrest.

Though it'd be interesting to see what happens if he's put in prison. I say we put him in prison and see.

I bet lots of ketchup is on the wall in his trash palace just beforehand, but he better learn really quick not to throw food in prison!

Back in highschool i studied ww2 specifically the Nazis. Was was astonished that anyone could pull that off. Used to think "how the hell was he able to get all these people behind his bullshit?" And "people have learned and hopefully it never repeats itself". Then trump won and it became clear how hitler pulled it all off.

He already doesn't have much time left. Based on his appearance and the news of his eating habits, I'd be amazed if he survives to the end of the year.

The similarities are usually astonishing. Like watching a trainwreck in slow motion every time I hear about this guy

Maybe he should start the chant “lock me up”! At his events.

Yes please!

At this point, his people would count it as a win. "He was in jail, just like Martin Luther King!"

Four legs good, two legs better!

Guaranteed his supporters would compare him to Mandela

Literally comparing him to Jesus.

This reminds me of those mini Christian comics that always ended with some horrific cartoon of hell or people suffering damnation. I used to read those as a Christian kid, before I grew our of religion. they were made to get you afraid of god, and remind you that god loves you, but will annihilate you and toss you in a torture dungeon if you disobey him.

Ah, the jack chick tracts. Nothing like a good, puritanical hell raising inside of a child's head.

I read quite a few of them and the only sentence I gained from them was "the standard is good behavior, not other people". That's it. All the works of that professional writer/moralizer over his entire life and I think he had only one single idea worth remembering. Which makes me think he probably plagiarized it.

That's an absurd comparison! Trump unfortunately exists.

After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion with all the creators of the top political TV dramas. Veep, House Of Cards, The West Wing, Scandal, and others. All the participants said the same thing; if they'd had a character who'd said that he didn't think POWs deserved respect the networks and sponsors would have demanded that he be reviled and hated by all Americans.

You just coined the next "come and take it". MAGAs everywhere about to start flying "Lock Me Up" flags.

Ok, somebody go out there and make your millions off these rubes.

"I am willing to go to jail"

Narrator: He was not.

Read the Narrator as Bill Hader doing his impression of Keith Morrison from Dateline.

God damn why do I still have to hear this giant orange toddler all the fucking time? Conservatives are the most pathetic morons.

The most amazing thing? This is THEIR guy. This guy is more Republican and conservative brand than any conservative or Republican, in history.

This whiny nepo baby loser. Their favorite one. Let that sink in.

His only vision past 2024 will be three white walls and a steel door. Our whole lives aren't about hating you Cheeto, you committed treason.

24 hours ago:

The Associated Press notes, however, that “there would be no restrictions on statements criticizing the Justice Department generally or statements about Trump’s belief that the case is politically motivated.” Chutkan remains a permissible target for Trump’s public ire.

You Won't Believe What Happens Next!

Quote from article "Trump then declared, “But what they don’t understand is that I am willing to go to jail if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again,”

No most Americans understand that him going to jail is good for the country and democracy

I am willing to go to jail if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again

Yeah, I agree that it would be a big win for the country and improve the state of democracy in America if Trump went to jail.

Since everybody seems to agree here, why not go ahead with it?

Every new picture of him in public I see he gets darker and darker. Doing a reverse Michael Jackson.

Maybe he has vitiligo too and parts of his skin are naturally orange?

Thank you for reminding me of "REvitiligo" and inspiring my reply to comment chain OP

Trump being Uncle Ruckus actually makes a lot of sense

Been a long time since I saw that show so I might be wrong. Uncle Ruckus actually worked right? He did odd jobs but he did those jobs.

Yeah, but he was also poor. I could see Ruckus acting exactly like Trump if he shared a similar life situation

Donald should know how we used to treat traitors. The fact he gets the gift of any judicial process and not instantly getting the wall is so fucking generous of us.

Don't look a gift judge in the mouth you repugnant fuckwit.

What is this blabbering flap of skin yapping about now

I can't think of anyone who's as big of a lying, overgrown, spoiled toddler...

I seriously can't. Even Joe Exotic seems decent compared to trump, and he's batshit insane.

I think virtually every real American would be just fiiiiiine with Nepo Baby Donnie going to jail.

BUH-bye.

Again, he is lying. I bet when the Police will be coming for him to put him behind bars where he belongs, he will behave like a kid.
