From Donald Trump’s perspective, his upcoming sentencing in the New York hush money case should include jail time.

A spokesperson for his 2024 campaign commented this week on reports of a Trump clemency recipient being convicted of a domestic violence-related charge by saying, "President Trump believes anyone convicted of a crime should spend time behind bars.”

The statement from Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to The New York Times was in response to a new conviction of Jaime A. Davidson, whose sentence Trump commuted in 2021.

Trump was convicted in May by a Manhattan jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 18.

Leavitt ...did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.................

I have not seen any walk back on this comment--yet!!

[Think. Again.]

1. They're simply not worth paying attention to anymore...

...if the for-profit media didn't get so many ad-space views when they publish his crap, the world would be a much better place.

[Vinca]

2. Never thought I'd agree with the Trump campaign. Lock him up.

[Lonestarblue]

3. Maybe this comment will make Judge Merchan's decision easier since Trump has clearly been convicted.

Jail time!

[Javaman]

4. Irony is dead. nt

[returnee]

5. You can't make this shit up.

[underpants]

12. Echo chamber

I wouldn’t be surprised if the circle of sycophants around him have placated his belief that the convictions didn’t happen. He lives in his own bubble.

6. Lead the way Almighty One.

7. Well, to paraphrase Hamlet

The Convicted Felon should: "Get thee to a prison."

[GB_RN]

8. Obvious Felon...

Is obvious. And irony is now, not only dead, but rotten and buried.

[mwb970]

9. Um...

[lark]

10. See, tcf doesn't think he's "anyone". He's special and is above all rules, don't you know?

[barbtries]

11. except him of course.

TCFSF is special. he is everything. he can be convicted by a jury of 34 felonies but he should never spend time behind bars. everyone knows it.

:disgusted:

[pecosbob]

13. Can you say 'Willie Horton? I thought you could.

Buried in this story is the fact that trump pardoned someone that murdered a federal agent during a robbery.

TRUMP PARDONED A COP-KILLER should be at the top of every paper in the nation.

[twodogsbarking]

14. Did he do it once? Fuck no, he did it thirty-four fucking times.

[Wonder Why]

15. Well, Judge Merchan, he said he wanted it. Give him what he wants. Ten years sounds nice.

[sakabatou]

16. Say hello to an orange jumpsuit, Trumpy!

[BlueWavePsych]

17. Soon ...

[jmowreader]

18. Come September 18...

“Mr. Trump, your campaign says you believe anyone convicted of a crime should be jailed. Can do easy, GI: I hereby sentence you to 48 months in prison.”

[orangecrush]

19. As long as they're poor and a minority

[IronLionZion]

20. Trump for Prison

[SWBTATTReg]

21. Then, why aren't you in jail?! Get along, little puppy, Alcatraz is waiting for you.

I know Alcatraz is closed, but no one wants to deal w/ you, see you, or have anything else to do with you, period.

22. Do these clowns ever hear themselves?

Or does Trump's word buffets rub off on them?
