I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

    I don’t think Trump will spend a day in prison. Simply because they don’t want to set a precedent, that a u.s. president can go to jail.

    Worst that might happen, is that he’s barred from running again.

        You would think. The reasoning is that you don’t want presidents being afraid of political opponents going after them for decisions they making while they’re president. Not that I agree with that logic. Trump needs to be made an example of.

      Wouldn’t he have to be convicted of something in order to be barred? What criteria other than a conviction in a court of law could be used to disqualify him?
