I just had a really scary thought re Trump.

Imagine that Trump goes to jail for tax-fraud and violating the emoluments-clause and multiple cases of obstruction of justice and multiple cases of racketeering (for his money-laundering for the russian mob).

Trump would go to a nice white-collar jail, where the other inmates are your usual non-violent tax-frauds and embezzlers.





And now imagine being Trump's cell-mate.

Imagine Trump whining and boasting and blathering and yelling and threatening and promising and cajoling and swearing and meandering and mentally drifting off ALL. DAY. LONG.

You sit in your cell.

And you have to listen to this all day long.

For years.

Pretty sure being incarcerated anyplace near him would meet that standard.

3. Yeah but YOU wouldn't be in there listening to him unless you are also a white collar criminal.

5. Except in a fantasy of the far Left, the reality is that Trump will never go to jail.

And if some alternate universe or reality Trump were to go to prison, he wouldn't have a cell mate.
But having to listen to Trump all day would certainly be hell.
