Picture this: It's 9 p.m. on January 13, 2026 — a Tuesday — and you tune in to your favorite cable-news network to watch the president's annual State of the Union address.
But this year, the president doesn't take a bulletproof limo from the White House to the US Capitol. Gone are the hundreds of members of Congress traditionally in attendance. Instead, the commander in chief is wearing an orange jumpsuit, his message streamed to lawmakers and into your living room via Zoom from his prison cell.
Yes, this scenario is equally far-fetched and outlandish — in the extreme.
But it's also possible, law experts told Insider, particularly given former President Donald Trump's mounting legal woes and his announcement November 15 that he is again running for president.
Those legal problems intensified in dramatic fashion this summer as the FBI reportedly searched his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
The Justice Department is currently scrutinizing Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US election. Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, are pursuing potential criminal charges against Trump and his associates. The National Archives also asked the department in February to investigate if Trump broke the law when he took official government records with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House.
And for months, the US House January 6 select committee has built a decidedly public case that Trump was intimately involved in the deadly attack on the US Capitol, and did nothing for hours to stop it. The committee has ordered Trump to testify, and Trump is fighting back.
If Trump landed in prison, nothing in the Constitution would block him from continuing the White House run, according to nine legal experts interviewed by Insider.

Couldn’t Trump just pardon himself?
Propaganda!
It is more likely that SCOUTUS throws out the election and installs Trump as POTUS.
They’re building the premise that Trump is definitely going
to go to prison. Weak minds will suck it up.
This is such an insidious tactic.
I’ve never seen such a disgusting effort to take down a
decent man in my life.
Shouldn’t Business Insider be concentrating on the woke bank failures? Oh I forgot. They are really a leftist publication. Nothing to do with business.
According to 9 legal scholar.
Yeah the Russia Russia Russia hustle went well for them too huh Moe.
Take a step back and look at the spectacle.
America is on the precipice. We are staring at becoming a banana republic.
“...if Trump broke the law when he took official government records with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House.”
How about we try it with jo b first.
That would be so bad azz! His Secret Service detail could wear doo-rags to show they ain’t playin’!
They are getting desperate because Trump is on a glide path to win his third straight presidential election.
Forget saying we’re a Banana Republic.
We aren’t a republic anymore.
We’re just bananas.
This is idiocy.
I’ll vote for him.
We saved Bastogne. We sent men to the moon.
We smashed ISIS
Voting for Trump is obvious. The man set foot in East Palestine.
As I recall, Eugene V. Debs did it.
Same here.
I shouldn’t comment on an absurd premise they set up.
However I might add my usual “they can save on electricity after sundown because there will be so much fire from the burning cities people will mistake night for midday outside.”
Lmao 🤣
Once elected, he resigns and his trusted VP becomes president. He then pardons Trump and selects him as his VP. Then the president resigns and Trump regains the presidency. He then re-selects the former VP.
It takes a trusted VP and a compliant senate. In other words, it can’t happen.

Sorry, but I see that banana republic in my rear view mirror.
Richard Pryor to Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy as Wilder realizes we are both totally innocent, framed, convicted and actually going to prison.
Pryor: Yes. Welcome to the real world. And not a moment too soon.
