Legal Experts warn Trump may soon be facing “prison, not politics
(thesarkariform.com)
Which "legal experts" are claiming Trump could be facing prison? If they actually have JDs, they should be disbarred for incompetence.
SCOTUS has already ruled on this; the president has very, very broad immunity from any criminal prosecution. The case was dropped in Florida because his stealing highly classified documents was an "official action"; if that can be handwaved away, then so can defrauding the country with a shitcoin pump-and-dump.

If you would please consult the graphs...
Once he's out of politics, he is still on the hook for the Insurrection and the stolen documents. Those cases weren't thrown out, they just went dormant. They can be revived.
Also, he has immunity for "Official" presidential duties. For example, he can't be charged with murder because he greenlit a drone strike on a terrorist camp that also killed civilians. That would be considered within his official duties.
But he can't use his office to solicit bribes, perpetrate frauds, commit election fraud, etc. Those aren't part of his official duties, those are crimes, and he doesn't have immunity to commit crimes.
he doesn't have immunity to commit crimes.
Sadly, he apparently does
There's a difference between immunity, and just not getting charged and prosecuted. Just because they declined to charge him, doesn't mean it's legal, or that he has immunity.
Wait, didn't he accept a 400 million dollar airplane from a foreign king? I'm no american but I'd imagine that that is kind of a crime when it's the president doing it? I heard of raised eyebrows, nothing about criminal charges.
I mean even if he would not keep the plane (as if) and even if the plane wasn't "prepped" by the gifters before, and even if it wasn't some unusable piece of junk they've tried to get rid of for years... it's still way too much of a gift to present to a president if it's not abundantly clear it's a gift to the people..... and I have heard no such thing.

Yeah sure. Been hearing it for the last decade.
Those walls have been closing in on Trump for 8 years now.

Before it wasn't so much national security stuff, more evil rich guy stuff they always get away with.

The only solution is a French style revolution
The legal experts are usually wrong. I'm interested to hear what the legal amateurs have to say.
BS
Can we please keep depressing American politics out of "uplifting news"? I'm not subscribed to this community to see "Hitler definitely getting in biiiiig trouble" for the twenty seventh time.
If his dictatorial aspirations are unsuccessful he's 100% going to prison.
Briefly. You've seen his unhealthy fascination with what cookie monster would call "some-time food, not all-the-time food", right? (When Cookie monster knows more about healthy choices than your president, it's a sign)

Is this an AI generated article? Never heard of this website before
I'll believe it, when I see it.
For the past 8 years they've been saying he "may" do this, or he "may" get punished for that, and everyone twiddled their thumbs until morons elected him into office again, making it all impossible again
That carrot on a stick just keeps going...and going...and going...
I subscribed to uplifting news to escape this idiot. Can’t go anywhere without seeing that stupid orange face.
