MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“If he’s convicted and he wins, put the Oval Office in whatever prison they have him in,” Dayna Duke, a Trump supporter from Arizona, said.
His lawyers would no doubt argue that he should not be in prison because it would impede him from doing his job as the newly elected president of the United States and would push to get him out.
Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian and professor at Rice University, said that while the possibility is remote, it’s “plausible” Trump could be president — even briefly — while in prison.
The former Missouri state senator with a budding political future spent a year in a Kentucky correctional facility after pleading guilty in 2009 to lying to federal authorities about illegal campaign activities.
Even after Trump recently upped his violent rhetoric on the campaign trail by suggesting that former Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley deserved to face the death penalty, among other statements, most of his supporters stood fervently by his words.
“The weaponized, two-tiered justice system brought by Joe Biden and radical Democrats to go after their leading political opponent sends a chilling message that this is acceptable in this country.”
The original article contains 883 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
