Yes it would be funny, it would also probably cause a civil uprising.

It is not actually legal to do this. A state can't interfere with the functioning of the federal executive branch. Most constitutional scholars would say the sentence just gets suspended until the end of his term.

It wouldn't effect the functioning of the federal system. You seem to forget he spent the majority of his time in his idiotic faux gold penthouse or at Mar a lago.

Dumping him into white collar prison wouldn't change any of that and fed prisoners can still get temporary hardship/work release anyway.

I doubt this will happen, and if it did it would do more harm than good. His followers would liken him to Paul.

Yeah, won't happen

Also, if it did, then what? You'll have a Jesus death cult in charge of nukes. At least you can control trump by brown nosing him, the cult just will destroy the world to bring back jesus

A couple of questions (from someone not from US):

  • Can't he just presidential pardon himself?

  • Even if put in jail, can he continue to act as a president? Like, give out orders, hold meetings, etc?

[-] Liz@midwest.social 6 points 8 months ago

He can only pardon federal crimes, and the state of New York obviously can only prosecute state crimes

I think he can operate as president from jail.
