(81,515 posts)You can imagine the coda: Trump living out his days, comfortable but grumpy, in a gilded prison on a golf course. He golfs, he dines, he broadcasts his version of the world on what amounts to an oversized ham radio. He scrapes up money to fund his defense from a long string of court dates from entities hed never feared beforeNew York district court, various corners of the Justice Department. Maybe he has a Newsmax show, or a brisk ongoing business in MAGA hats, or he sells tickets to rallies to make money.
Theres no guarantee of any ending at this point; Trump is a master of rewriting his own script, even re-inventing the medium. But there are limits to how far his image rehabilitation can go. In his TV life, the ratings-hungry Apprentice franchise once rejected Trumps most incendiary idea, a season pitting Black contestants against white ones. In real life, even some Republicans in Congress voted to impeach him, and all indications are that his final act did permanent damage to his brand. Its hard to imagine a PGA tour on a Trump-branded golf course for a very long time. At this point, he wouldnt even make it onto Dancing With The Stars. To a media-chaser, an attention-seeker, an egotist like Donald Trump, theres nothing more painful than irrelevance. Roll the credits and change the channel.

(38,434 posts)trial or conviction would...He has proven that he is a ...looser...and is...irrelevant ..
That will be an incredible penalty...No more interviews, no more rallies, no more adulation...that is what I
think will happen. And a whole lot of his money will go to his defense to stay out of jail..The New York
State Attorney General will get him one way or another...And defending himself will cost Trump all of his
money, and will take years...He hasn't got a clue...none at all...!!...................................
Trump is done...all over for him...... worst penalty of all.. Trump is totally "irrelevant"....
and.............."people are laughing at him"......
