Watched the final episode of 'The Trump Show' on the box last night (made by the BBC), and Michael Cohen (Trump's lawyer 2006-2018 who organised the Stormy Daniels payout and went to prison for it).
Can't help thinking the whole world dodged a major bullet when the Orange One missed out on a return gig.
Trump was best described as a 'narcissistic sociopath' who has no conscience about what he does to anyone, provided the final outcome is best for him.
He has also used the 'rigged' excuse for virtually every contest he was involved in, but lost - it was even the reason The Apprentice didn't get an Emmy award, he claims....
And yes, FB, anyone can find a plethora of articles about how Trump was 'ripped off' in the election - just like you can also find articles arguing that the Earth is flat, Elvis is still alive, the Moon walk didn't happen, and Wayne Harmes was in the 5th row of the grandstand when he knocked the ball back in '79.
What is an absolute fact is he in no longer POTUS, he can now face litigation (and there is plenty waiting for him), and he is having trouble finding/keeping a law firm who will represent him. If nothing else, his future will be 'interesting'.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Reminds me of the (purported) old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times ...”.
The last 4 years were definitely interesting. :-*
I hope the next 4 years will be even more interesting for Trump.

Maybe the Orange One's love of orange will, in time, be deeply satisfied by his daily attire!

Would the prison guards allow him to bring his make-up artist and hairdresser with him? The white-collar jails seem to be like luxury resorts. Maybe he’ll live life behind bars like Colombian drug lords do. Maybe he’ll be able to play golf every day. It’ll be as if he’s still President.

It's hard to see how this impeachment can lead to any serious conviction, he'd almost have to become negligent with respect to his own welfare for something to go so badly.
Would he deliberately trigger such events to spur further civil unrest, looking at the long term outcomes?

Well, he acts like a grumpy toddler, so anything’s possible. His election strategy, if you can call it that, was self-defeating.
If he does go to jail, imagine being his secret service detail. I guess it would be an easy gig if Trump is locked up with larcenous bankers but the scenery wouldn’t be very interesting. Maybe they’d spend their time keeping an eye on the prison guards.

Despite the list of possible charges he may face, it is hard to see him doing any time.
Between appeals, and sacking/hiring lawyers, it will drag on for years. He is more likely to shuffle off the mortal coil first (and even then his team will probably claim that his death is 'fake news'....)
And at that time, if he is invited to take the 'Down' escalator, he won't need to worry about the Orange tan as the temperature will probably make that his standard complexion.

There was online commentary that suggested some of those HK / China / Russia decisions hinted at him leaving the door open to emigrate! Not sure that is accurate. Funnily, there were a couple of world leaders who joked he might not be welcome in their own country, but maybe it wasn't such a joke!
What on earth would his supporters do if he became a Red?

I don't seriously believe he'll do jail time. His greatest risk is being found guilty of tax evasion and for at least one of the rape/sexual assault charges to also stick... then, maybe.
However, in a very real sense, he's already in prison - the paranoia levels required to sustain such narcissism keep him in a prison of fear. Have you ever seen him laugh? He's an unhappy camper whose only little joys in life come from golf and adoration.

In this week past we saw a massive cheat in professional US golf, a bouncing ball was deemed plugged, then lifted, and the benefactor became the winner.
What would St Andrews think?
