When Trump is removed he will lose the shield of the presidency and so will all those around him , who work for him. A new AG will be put in place and the Justice Dept. will actually be allowed to do its job. There will be countless investigations into the Trump administration. Congress will be allowed to do their job of oversight. People will not be allowed to ignore subpoenas.
All those around Trump will head for the hills seeking legal cover. They will turn on each other to save their own asses.
Trump will be treated like a leper. No one will want to be connected to him because of all the investigations he will be under. People, the law, are not going to forget what Trump has done. Trump hurt a lot of people, put them and the country through hell. They will not forget or forgive.

Imagine having that stinking albatross hanging around your neck into the next century?

(13,903 posts)He might be prosecuted in fed or state court but he won't do any time. They may fine him but that is it.
They will applaud his sick twisted @$$ like the Repubs did Scooter Libby.

(3,729 posts)I'm still holding out hope the SDNY will prosecute him for money laundering crimes and such, post presidency. There was apparently a lot of that type of stuff that the Mueller probe farmed out and is theoretically waiting in the wings

(28,349 posts)His free ride of the RNC paying his lawyers will come to a stop.
He's known to stiff his lawyers, so unless he pays them up front he'll be SOL (shit outa luck). I can't see a reputable law firm helping him, or his family out.
Russia, the Saudis, China ... well, he'll no longer be of any use to them. He'll be the jilted boyfriend as he realizes those loving friendships have dried up.
He will still have his fan base, or at least some of them. After all, they need their loud mouth Twittler to help them bitch about President Biden and our getting along with Canada, Europe and other US allies once again.
I'm looking forward to seeing them all gone. Out of the People's House, out of the People's Government.
I want to see them all struggle. To see Ivanka and arrogant Jared fall flat on their plastic faces. Spending their grifted, corrupt cash on lawyers and security detail.
I want, no, I need to see and hear Congressional investigations galore. I want their sycophants to go bankrupt on legal fees, and struggle to find worthy jobs.
I am not a vindictive person. I don't like to see people struggle and I abhor interfering in people's livelihoods. But these are not good people. They had choices. They chose Trump over America and the US Constitution. They are mean, nasty, and corrupt liars. May they have a very difficult life post-Trump.

(838 posts)This trump knows what is waiting for him, civilly and criminally, when he leaves the WH. He will do everything he possibly can to keep his fat ass in the Oval Office (or the residence, I don't know where he tweets from) for 4 more years or longer. He will throw every possible obstruction, including trying to postpone the election, onto Twitter to garner as much support from his base.
1- Don't expect Election Day to happen without this trump trying to derail it with any number of conspiracies. Think of it; he has no precedent to worry about the Senate and his idiotic well-armed base not backing him. If Il Douche claims it, it is true. Once the conventions happen and Joe starts truly mopping the floor with him, he will cease running for office and begin fortifying his disinformation campaign to impugn the pending election's integrity. He will dog whistle for violence louder and regulalrly. His base will take it as a call to arms.
2- IF Election Day happens, this trump will claim anything less than a monumental 40+ state DRUBBING by Joe to be rigged and will set up baseless investigations with his deplorables lying him up. Again... he will incite his base to violence.
3- IF Election Day happens, and this trump manages to eke out a win, these last 4 years will look tame. Amercia as we know it will be done.
In my opinion...There will be no smooth transition of power, in ANY case. We can hope for a heart attack as horrible as that sounds.
