14. The "crazy outbursts" are attention-getters

Sun Nov 3, 2024, 11:53 PM

Nov 3

That's always been the case, and the media takes the bait every time.

But as to no jail/ continue the grift: very possibly true. Obviously if he wins, he's going to self pardon and, frankly, the rule -of-law will have ended at that point anyway. But if he loses, there will be a lot of pressure on Biden and Harris to "close the book" and offer Trump either pardons or prison-free clemency. My guess is that they'll cave; Kemp will drop the Georgia charges; and New York will, at worst, give him House Arrest. So yes, Don and Mike and Rudy will all be there on Trump TV /Newsmax/FAUX hawking pictures books,NFTs, gold, crypto - you name it.
