I’ll make a prediction and see how well or poorly it works.
Trump will be found guilty, be cuffed, outfitted in an orange jumpsuit, and marched to jail.
He may be imprisoned for a single night — or even an hour — to “make a point.”
The real reason is to generate images for the election campaign. They WANT those images. VERY important...
Good point-——Biden already has his “convicted felon” speech ready to roll.
So Merchan was under a lot of pressure to get Trump behind bars
to generate images for Biden. The Dems WANT those images badly.
If this happens and I were Trump, I'd proudly wear an orange jumpsuit at every rally and public appearance. Shove it right back down their throats!
I don’t disagree with your assignment of motives.
I am reminded of the last time someone tried this. I think
it was at the staged photo/fingerprint session. Trump, the
master of the media, offered a mug shot that breathes defiance
in the face of persecution.
I predict more of the same.
