Donald Trump just tipped off that he knows he’s going to prison
This morning, current 2020 Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld went in front of the television cameras and pointed out that Donald Trump has committed treason – and then he reminded everyone that under current U.S. law, the punishment for this crime is the death penalty. Weld made waves, of course, but he’s factually correct. Now Trump is responding in a manner which tips off just how much criminal trouble he knows he’s in.
Donald Trump is the king of projection. So it’s telling that after Weld pointed out that Trump is eligible for the death penalty, Trump went to a United Nations event and asserted that Joe Biden would get the “electric chair” for his (phony) Ukraine scandal if he were a Republican. In other words, Weld’s words hit a nerve for Trump, so now Trump is projecting this whole death penalty thing onto Biden.
Why does this matter? Donald Trump isn’t going to get the death penalty at his advanced age; there would be no point, as the appeals process would far exceed the remainder of Trump’s natural lifespan. But Trump is – without any doubt – going to prison for the rest of his life. He just tipped off that he knows it, too.
Even if federal charges somehow aren’t brought against Donald Trump once he’s gone from office, it was revealed earlier this month that a grand jury in New York is already targeting Donald Trump for criminal indictment on state charges. This means he’ll be arrested on those charges the minute he’s not in office. Some of the state charges will be such cut and dry financial crimes, he’ll have no chance of being acquitted on them. For that matter, Trump’s federal charges on treason, or some close legal variant of treason, aren’t magically going away either. It’s all over for Trump, and he knows it.
