Given what I believe is happening with regard to convicted felon Donald Trump’s post-conviction antics, it is fair to wonder about this possibility.
It is that the 45th POTUS might be unable to attend the Republican Party nominating convention that will launch his candidacy against President Joe Biden.
Trump is going to be sentenced for the conviction handed down by the jury in NYC on 34 counts relating to an illegal hush money payment to an adult film actress, Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels.
Sentencing occurs July 11. Four days later, GOP convention delegates will meet in Milwaukee to nominate Trump for another run for the White House.
Judge Juan Merchan has wide latitude here. He could sentence Trump to jail time; he could sentence him to probation. He could impose an immediate jail term; he could say Trump can wait several weeks before reporting to the slammer.
Suppose he gets jail time. Suppose the judge orders the 45th POTUS to report immediately to the hoosegow.
That means the GOP convention will nominate an individual who is in jail, serving time for felonies committed that sought to hide an extramarital tryst. Trump denies even knowing Clifford, let alone having sex with her in the hotel room years before running for POTUS in 2016.
He paid her 130 grand anyway. Go figure.
Oh, and he’s now been calling the judge a crook, the jury was rigged, the prosecutor was biased against him.
A judge usually looks for signs of contrition in criminal defendants. He is not getting a hint of it from this defendant.
Republican convention delegates, though, are blind to the reality that they are facing … that their next presidential nominee is a felon.
Youāre so obsessed with Trump you canāt see the shit Biden is allowing in America. Why the hell doesnāt he shut down this ādeath to Americaā chants and burning the American flag?? Because heās a spineless coward!! You damn right Iād take a felon over this coward! We have to get our country back. Other countries are laughing at us. Iāve read and watched the news from other countries and they are literally laughing at Biden, saying heās incompetent and shows signs of dementia.
I just donāt get how you canāt see the damage heās done to this country. It baffles me beyond end. The man canāt walk or talk. He canāt even be left alone or heāll wonder off. My God, please save us!
