  • Civil trial consequences are always only monetary - you can’t go to prison for a civil case. That’s part of why civil cases get away with having a much lower standard of evidence

    Which is exactly why I mentioned it. He has never faced consequences from criminal charges, only civil court.

    You’ll notice he started hawking Bibles almost immediately afterward, likely because he needs more liquid funding in the short term.

    He would have done that regardless of whether he “needed” funds or not. Like most obscenely rich people, there is no such thing as “enough” wealth.

    I believe he’s been fined for it several times now, but the fine is set by law and is an amount that’s a pittance to Trump.

    Which doesn’t really contradict my point that he effectively hasn’t faced any real consequences.

    you’ve still got to figure out how to work his Secret Service detail into the picture.

    He’s a criminal. He shouldn’t be afforded the same security detail as his predecessors that weren’t. We don’t “have to” do anything. It was just decided as a society that this man, and others like him, should be given privileges that others don’t have.

    And also the protests from his cult if/when that happens.

    This should never ever ever factor into what his punishment is. A functioning society needs a justice system that doesn’t cave to mobs.

    Everything about this is abhorrant.
