What does he care? All he has to do now is continue to grift money from maga - which will be even easier as he becomes more and more of a martyr, and after he gets the Republican nomination.
Until he's sitting in a cell, he's experienced nothing but inconvenience.
You don't understand him at all. He loves seeing his name all over shit. They are now going to take his name down off of a lot of buildings.
He doesn't care about his supporters. He'll never move to where they live. He only wants other rich people to hang out with him. This not only hurts him financially, but also emotionally.
I'd like to see some consequences that don't require understanding of his narcissism to feel like consequences, that's all.
He's going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and control of his real estate properties. That's a serious consequence, particularly for someone who is not actually a billionaire and is seeking office mainly in order to drum up business for his real estate properties.
There's a reason why is acting so outraged right now, and it's because he's not acting.
Wake me up when he's not living a 1% lifestyle.
Lotta folks really want me to be happy with these wrist slaps for Trump. If you are happy with them, I am happy for you. (sincerely so)
I find this all to be woefully insufficient, and am doubtful sufficient consequences will befall him at any point.
If you want Trump to face more than a fine, then you'll have to wait for him to actually be convicted of a crime. That won't happen until next year at the earliest. And while conviction is the most likely outcome, it's not guaranteed.
Exactly.
Whatever the fines and judgments, even if he's found guilty of crimes in other trials, Donald Trump cannot be imprisoned. He will die of old age or a McDonald's-fueled heart attack, but he'll die rich, in a comfortable mansion, having never known punishment.
It sucks, sure, but pretending otherwise is just that — pretending.
