Excellent. May his orange jumpsuit soon follow.
I’m just sad that federal mugshots aren’t made public.
No mugshot “because the president is recognizable” EDIT: “Trump is easily recognizable” I guess that’s a thing, though I’ve never heard of it being used before. EDIT, I didn’t quote it right, and @Powderhorn@beehaw.org caught me :)
The president certainly is recognizable … thing is, he’s a dead ringer for Joe Biden.
Presidents keep their title so he’s still “President Trump”. I hope his prison guards will respect that.
He is shaped like William Taft.
No worries! I’d just like to keep the referring to Trump as “the president” to his spin team. They never call him “the former president” for a host of reasons, but that doesn’t mean reasonable people should follow suit.
Also they aren’t gonna handcuff him because they don’t want him to look guilty or something like that.
His skin is already orange, don’t you think his wardrobe should match it?
This title is a little misleading. No, Trump has not been arrested but he did appear in court. He is not in any form of jail (yet).
We need one of those mod appliable (or vote-appliable?) “Misleading title” or “headline altered” tags maybe
The headline was not altered.
That does make me wonder if there’s an option in Lemmy to add tags to posts.
AP news says Trump will be released without bond
Trump will be released without having to pay a bond. He will not have to surrender his passport or restrict his personal travel.
Meanwhile, someone allegedly steals a backpack in NYC and languishes in jail for years, then dies without ever having their trial.
So under arrest really means he checked into the courts and said “Yup, I am fighting this legal charge.” and walked away.
I hope he flees to Russia
So much unprecedented stuff has happened since his term, but I don’t think anyone was ever confident he would actually stand trial for a federal jury.
I’d like to see him manage to wiggle his way out of this one. I’m not American so I’m not familiar with the systems in place and all, but from everything I’ve seen, well… it’s not looking good for him. At all.
But honestly, with Trump legendary incompetence and ability to keep on digging his own grave, I’m barely here for the politics, this is just good entertainment at this point. Even if I know that while this is funny, this will probably be remembered as anything but.
I don’t think he can actually get out of this one, but he can still litigate it to hell and back. It will depend on which judges his various challenges land in front of and what their capacity for his bullshit is. But he’s 77 and eats garbage and doesn’t exercise. Very real possibility he just croaks before he ever sees the inside of a cell.
Jesus didnt realise that trump was 77 already :o then Biden is not too far off
I am from Poland and didn’t really follow the whole case. Can someone explain me why there is a thread that he will be arrested? It is hard to find the origin as the whole case exploded.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but this feels very “end of the line” for him.
I hope so too, but even if he does go to prison, remember, Hitler did too. And then became Chancellor of Germany.
I’m afraid we will be dealing with Trump until he dies peacefully of old age.
Man I hope. Otherwise, I’ll have no faith left in this country.
Trump is arrested and Kutcher scores $2bn. Seems to me like he got played by his own son-in-law.
