It's only illegal if you get caught. It's airtight MAGAt logic.
It’s only illegal if you ~~get caught.~~ aren't rich.

Since you've been poor?
Is he though? Seems like the latest "oh my god he's going down" only for him to be out campaigning like a week later.
The wheels of justice turn very slowly in the USA. His legal team's strategy to keep him or if prison is to slow then down even more. Iirc his first criminal trial starts either this Monday or the following Monday.
Unless you're a poor person, obviously.
He will be found guilty. He committed multiple crimes in plain view of the public, those crimes were recorded on cameras, he's made multiple statements admitting that he committed the crimes.
The real question is, will he be found guilty before he dies? He has enough money to put up bullshit delay tactics for the next 10 years.
He could also become president again, that's his plan. He's trying to run out the clock on all his legal troubles. Once he's a presidential candidate I'll bet you every one of those Republicans that turned on him after Jan. 6 will suddenly start saying it's unconstitutional to charge/prosecute a presidential candidate.

Honestly I don't care what happens to T as long as I can finally stop seeing his fucking name seemingly every other day. I was so happy when joe won because I thought 'my god, I won't have to hear about trump for at least another four years! Finally!" Well I guess that clock finally ticked down and were back to talking about the most...interesting ex-president alive today.
Anyone else remember when Bill getting a blowjob was earth shattering and impeachment-discussion worthy? Really puts things into perspective.
Im simply tired of hearing his name and seeing his face. Whether he gets jailed forever, gets away with a wrist slap, or dies of old age/gets epsteined before either, I couldn't care less as long as he finally gets out of the spotlight permanently.
My money is on a wrist slap but we'll see. The rich and politically well connected are notoriously known for getting away with just about anything in the U.S. Y'know because they built the system and rigged it to be in their favor. Fairness is the philosophical tooth fairy, it doesn't exist. I won't be clutching my pearls about how justice in america is dead if he slips away with a few hundred mil in fines and 200 hours community service before he gets booted out to live the rest of his days on one of his private islands in bumfuck nowhere atlantic ocean.

Starting to think he'll never go to jail, and most likely he'll get re-elected.
He'll probably die before seeing his jail cell.
At this point, I'll accept that. Go cholesterol, go!
I'm fine with him dying afraid.

Bold of you to assume they can.
Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
Acting as a martyr he is gaining even more consensus. This can backfire... like what happened with, say, Berlusconi who got re-elected multiple times despite being prosecuted.
No it won't backfire. He'll act like a martyr no matter what happens or doesn't happen.
The only difference is whether he's held accountable for his crimes and pretends to be a martyr or not held accountable and still pretends to be a martyr.
As for the cult believing him, same deal. Following the leader blindly is what cults do.

Maybe so, but it would backfire even more if they completely refrained from holding him accountable for his countless crimes.
