The Trump downfall thread

[Astro What]

As for the thread.... just leave it open. We have 4 years of Trump coming up, and I can promise you he'll be stepping on his tool well before the first year is done.

I can promise you he'll be stepping on his tool

Oh, stop it! Yeah, he's obsessed enough with those, isn't he?

Ya, indeed not gonna close it. We can just keep calling him out on his transgressions and corruption as time goes on.

I remember when Biden beat him in 2020, I saw how Trump was down, but always had the uneasy feeling that he wasn't out since he remained defiant, refusing to concede the election, even to this day, and that he would run for the next one and quite possibly get back in and be even worse. Alas, my worst fears have now come true as it has done for all the like-minded people who saw right through him. The only small consolation is that all the millions of numpties who supported and voted for him are gonna suffer the same as us when he screws us all over. They get what they so richly deserve and I'll have no sympathy for them.

Here's a depressing article on how all 4 criminal cases against Trump are now going to go away. Talks have already started in fact, barely a day after he won.

I really wanted to see him get nailed for his crimes, especially the horrendous Jan 6 one which I saw unfold live on CNN. What a tragic disappointment.

Donald Trump will be the first president to take office while several criminal cases against him are pending.

His ascent to the highest office in the US while facing dozens of criminal charges has left the country in uncharted territory.

Many of his legal problems will go away when he steps into the White House. Discussions already have started between Trump's team and the office overseeing federal cases about how to wind those down, according to the BBC's US news partner CBS.

Here's a look at what could happen with each of the four legal challenges he faces.
