why isn't Trump locked up!

I don't care about him running for President to stay out of jail:but the constant threats and trying to send his cult to murder people is too much.He is the reason for all this chaos in the Republican party shut down. If this was Obama,do you think he won't already be lynched by now.I am sick of him I have never seen someone as evil as this to lose an election and still have a hold to this party and Putin.It is like he is still in power with just as much power as he did in office.I want him to go away.Maybe ship him and his cult to Russia or whomever will have him.

1. Because he is Trump. There is another tier of justice just for him.

In the multi-tiered disaster that is equal justice under the law here.

Trump is in a category above and separate from all others.

Whatever finally makes him go away will suit me just fine. It’ll be a relief and a blessing to us all. Whatever the circumstances.

...that more people than not are absolutely sick to death of him and want him to shut up and go away. We are sick of the drama, sick of the hate, sick of the violence, sick of the meanness, sick of HIM...and his ilk. I don't see the people who voted against him in 2020 changing their minds.

put to death or called for his own VP to be hanged. These things are just dismissed in the media as
being normal today.

justice system is blind to the social media type of law and order…the real world law and order has presumption of innocence, proof beyond a reasonable doubt and real evidence. Golden rules. And sooo slow!! So much evidence before trial, then there’s the trial and the appeals! So many rules!!

Frustrating…but to me confirms the rule of law works just fine…prosecutors and police have to abide by the rules, criminals don’t.

Criminals out on bail taunting the rule of law? Better know where the red line is…Jack and judges do.

One rule American democracy thinkers said didn’t matter, and doesn’t have, and it matters a lot…no hate speech laws.

Figuring out his protection in a prison is the issue. However, the U.S. can print money and we should build a special prison just for him, if that’s what it takes or just repurpose one of the many buildings the government owns. Trump likes his name in buildings, why not his own special, personal prison?

Make no mistake, Trump will continue ratcheting up his threats until he is stopped.
