Hint: Hes going to act like a maniac and incite his followerssome of whom may get violent.Now that a Manhattan grand jury has reportedly indicted former President Donald Trump, ending his half-century of successfully escaping law enforcement, here are three things you can count on.
Trumps support among Republicans will rise, at least for a while.
Trump will surrender to avoid the risk of pre-trial detention and be fingerprinted, mug shotted and, perhaps, put in handcuffs while his Secret Service detail watches.
Trump will continue riling up the most deranged and fanatical MAGA elements for the final battle to put him back in the White House.
That last point will prove to be an important test of both Trumps influence and the effectiveness of our Justice Department in discouraging more violence by Trumps most deranged followers.

defense... That would not be subject to scrutiny by the F.E.L.C.
Instead,
right into his piggy bank. "It's unfair, what they are doing to me.....

he still has the rubes who will send him money instead of paying the rent.

subterranean Fart Cuffer.
Thriving on parental-provided internet, this sub species of human shuns daylight and reality, and bemoans having to climb out of holes to seek food and relationships on their own.

It won't work of course, but that won't stop him from trying. How many billionaire "friends" does he have left? Eventually he'll learn the truth: he has no friends.
