After 4 indictments and one conviction (sexual abuse in New York) Trump stands at the edge of disaster for all who follow. He’s already way down the rabbit hole and digging deeper every day. The GOP is facing an election disaster in 2024. Very few Independent voters and no Democratic voters will follow his lead. That mathematically guarantees the GOP a loss of Congress and the White House. But in the meantime, Trump continues to spread his violent message with implied or explicit threats against any and all officials who oppose him. Two points: (1) he should be kept on a short leash when it comes to threats. Whether you believe he’s responsible for January 6th or not, he has the platform to create real harm by influencing the nut job faithful to rise up and commit some atrocity. Mind you, once a violent action happens, the dominoes will begin to fall. We need to nip this in the bud and the courts know they have this power. They must use it before more innocent citizens are jeopardized. The second point is this; Trump is only selling the Trump brand by his continuing the campaign. He doesn’t want to be president–he wants his numb nut followers to send money–and they do. Granted jailing an ex-president is challenging–imagine allowing him to incite armed lone wolves across America to take action. Something must be done now to minimize that possibility.
