What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

What makes it worse eis that he tried hawking them at Sneaker Con (apt use of the latter abbreviation) and got booed

Yeah but we still haven't had any criminal convictions. Also trump won't drop out as that'd mean accepting reality, something donnie hasn't done, ever

But if he's banned from doing business in new york as per his last judgement, doesn't that affect his ability to float tooth social on the new York stock exchange? Or am I missing something

How he keeps making this even more pathetic and sad at this point is beyond me.

Pretty sure he'll still be contesting the election in November, but I wouldn't mind being wrong on that one whatsoever.

Legal jeopardy doesn't hurt his polling among his base.

Cash judgements against him, he can sell more MAGA tat and ask for donations.

Convicted felons can still run for president, they just aren't allowed to vote.

I don't see any issue that would prevent him getting to November, save for some force majeure thing like a sudden health problem.

Even those who said they'd change their mind if got convicted, I'm not sure that it would actually be a bridge too far were a conviction to happen, given what they're already prepared to stick by him through.

And get the case done and dusted in 30 days?

I'm not saying he definitely won't.

What I am saying is I see much more weakness and vulnerability than I've seen before.

The one thing he can hammer Biden on (age, gaffs) he can't because he's worse.

He can't criticise Putin over the murder.

He can't say he is impervious to lawsuits.

He's a **** load of court dates which *will* impact the independent/swing voters. (**** his base).

That debt is significant and if he can be sued over Jan 6, there will be more law suits from those injured such as law enforcement which, if successful, will have substantial payouts.

I know people will say he will get through it because he always does, well that doesn't take into account the phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back".

Something will give, and I'm beginning to think maybe it'll "give" this side of November.

There's a massive amount of wishful thinking in the posting about Trump here.

Much as I wish he would simply go away (by being imprisoned, incapacitated or just dying) and take his hateful MAGA movement with him, we also have to recognise that he is more likely than not to win in November. And, given that Ireland's entire economic model is predicated on US FDI, we will have to come to terms with President Trump v2.0.

The balance of probabilities and polling.

The same polling and probability as 2020?

See my post above.

Biden's favourability ratings have been in the toilet for a long time. This is terrible news for his chances in November.

Also; the context has changed. The last election was a referendum on Trump. This one will be a referendum on Biden (unless he steps aside, which he should).
