No president has ever been jailed. Neither will Trump.

[Cyrano]

If/when Trump's criminality is fully exposed, what will happen?

Jail is out of the question. The next time we have a Dem prez with a Republican congress, they'll make up some reason to jail him for life.

So what do we do with Trump?

Suggestions?

2. Exile him to Russia

I'm sure Putin will take him.

[Totally Tunsie]

12. Once tRumpie is no longer prez, Putie will have absolutely no use for him.

What good can he do for Putie then? He'll just be a throw-away.

3. Most likely scenario is he'll get hit with some significant fines.

And he'll live out the rest of his life being miserable, shuttling between Trump Tower and Mar-A-Lago.

4. There is no solution to this.

Jailing an ex-President is for banana republics. Not jailing one encourages corruption. The solution is to prevent someone like Trump from getting elected to begin with, and by extension, heal our political divide so that party is no longer above democratic norms.

5. I think perfect justice for Trump would be that he winds up dirt poor

and completely forgotten.

6. Just what are you looking for?

A call for action? Solace?

The BEST case scenario is Trump being haunted by strong lawsuits for the rest of his life. He is used to this, being a litigious kind of guy, but hopefully they will be fast and furious and non stop. He will win some, but not all.

Many fines, perhaps a sentence or two. I agree, no jail. He will be under a microscope. The price he pays. And since he’s no Jimmy Carter, he will not have peace.

13. I agree with you and I hope more than anything that his criminal spawn are jailed.

Dumpie needs to be tied up in court for the rest of his life spending whatever money he's stolen so that he's reduced to ridicule. However, I'd be happier if Kushner was jailed and the sons and especially the Princess get the most of the fallout so that they never again think they'll get elected to higher office. Their father has lived the majority of his life, but those offspring have years to continue their grifting.

15. I have actual hope that Kushner will see a bit of jail time

I get the impression that this greedy family over-extended their hand, in the middle of ultimate power. I think they will retreat will powerful enemies after Trump is our of office. Oh, they’ll never starve, but damn they are shady

[Iliyah]

7. There is always . . .

a first!

[Javaman]

8. he will lose in 2020 and the SDNY will convict and he will go to jail. nt

[House of Roberts]

9. I think once we send one to jail,

the ones who come after will endeavor to keep a cleaner record before, and do a better job while in. The others will not risk the scrutiny.

[dlk]

10. You are Probably Right, However, There's a First Time for Everything

We have never before had a president even remotely as corrupt as Trump. We are new territory and the way I see it, all bets are off.

[Vinca]

11. One can hope. There are always the state charges.

14. John Tyler died before he was tried for treason

Serving in the confederate congress was the real thing and indesputable. But there was a lot more than that to deal with after the Civil War. We also have a lot of work ahead of us, and much of it is about USAers daily lives. It's not like Trump has a lot of time ahead of him. I think minimizing the damage his kids can do in the future should be prioritized over a quixotic hope of sending Trump to prison.

[flotsam]

16. He has to be jailed

President or not (and this is debatable), treasonous or not (debatable, but less so) he is a lifelong criminal who deliberately damaged our Republic and either he is jailed or the rule of law becomes a joke. In the last century I have no doubt he would be tried and executed.

[Polybius]

17. If he goes to jail, the Secret Service might have to go with him

There's no clause about jail in the contract.

[eShirl]

18. There's a first time for everything.
