Donald Trump’s incarceration conundrum

| 9:00 pm EDT June 21, 2024
Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

“I think there’s a possibility that Trump gets some form of incarceration. Now, that incarceration, because of the logistical issues, could come in the form of a house arrest.”

“But given the lack of remorse there’s a number of violations of the gag order that have not been brought to Judge Merchan’s attention but happened on journalists’ watch.”

“Nothing short of incarceration will be enough to get this guy to stop.”

These words come from legal analyst Lisa Rubin, who told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that, in her opinion, a relatively stiff sentence could be handed down in Trump’s hush money case. Rubin’s hardly the only one. I have seen, day after day, some very smart people, some great legal minds voice the same opinion. The reasons are simple.

Trump’s complete absence of remorse is a significant factor that will not work in his favor. Most convicted criminals express a desire for freedom, often delivering heartfelt apologies in the courtroom. Can we even begin to imagine Donald Trump doing the same?

Trump has also repeatedly violated his gag orders, which will not be considered favorably. There are a plethora of reasons why Trump might get locked up either in prison or on home arrest. It’s more than a possibility.

The sentencing date is rapidly approaching, drawing us closer to the moment of truth. Many of us are on the edge of our seats, eagerly awaiting this long-anticipated event, akin to a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift that has been sitting under the Christmas tree, waiting to be opened. It’s only a matter of time until we learn the fate of one of the most evil figures in history.
