Donald Trump’s 2424 win is hardly a mandate. The following chart just goes to show you what history will say about his actual popularity, as this clearly shows that his margin of victory compared to other presidents dating back to 1924 relates to just a speck of dust compared to the universe.
He succeeded in one thing for himself. That was to stay out of jail for the next four years. The United States is not in the habit of putting a sitting president in jail during their term in office, but Trump now realizes that when he gets finished with his second term as the worst president the United States ever had, that he will be going to jail. State prosecutions cannot be excused by any future president, even one from the Republican Party, who would like to pardon Trump and expunge his 34 counts of felony that will put him in jail in 2029.
Yes, Jack Smith has recently dismissed Trump’s pending cases but without prejudice. So what does ‘without prejudice’ mean?
In the legal context, ‘with prejudice’ means a case has been permanently dismissed and cannot be brought back to court. This is a “final disposition” that indicates the court’s decision is final and absolute in all courts for all subsequent cases.
In contrast, a case dismissed “without prejudice” means the case can be brought back to court. This could be because the court did not bar future claims, or because the plaintiff wants to refile to correct a procedural or technical problem. It also could be because a sitting president cannot go forward with official proceedings of condemnation because he has a job to do. After he is finished with his job as president, the cases will be rekindled and brought to their conclusions as originally intended before he became president for the second time.
Does anyone believe that Donald Trump will want to leave office so he can go straight past ‘GO’ and go to Jail? He wants to be like Putin, or Kim Jong-un or, better yet, like President Roosevelt. He is and never will be like Roosevelt. Furthermore, he served in 4 terms as a U.S. president before term limits were introduced to the United States in 1951 when the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution went into effect. The 22nd Amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, but took 4 years to go into effect, as a new amendment to the Constitution must be ratified by three-quarters of the states before it could go into effect. Thanks to Minnesota, who finally approved the amendment, it became the law of the land.
The autocrat Trump is and will show the American people this year will open Republicans eyes, and the damage he will do to this country and to other countries around the world will be heart-breaking within the next 4 years. He will continue to bring division to the United States.
He has openly discussed in the past and present that he would like to invade a country, namely Mexico, to “take out” the cartel that he believes is responsible for bringing in drugs to America like ‘Fentanyl’. Likewise, he wants to tariff countries like Mexico, Canada and China. He was re-elected because the American people believed that he was the better candidate for bringing back the economy, even though our economy is without question the best in the world. Other countries wished they were as successful as the United States. Our economy will falter if he makes good on his tariffs to the other countries, because U.S. businesses will fail as they will have to raise prices on merchandise and services for which the American people will refuse to or just outright can’t afford to pay. It will be a domino effect, like what happened to companies during the Great Depression. Yes, the great businessman that he is, as he has gone bankrupt at least 4 times in his life to prove he knows what he is doing, will bankrupt the country just because he wanted to stay out of jail, when a jail sentence in his future is inevitable. A rapist that he is, as he was convicted of the crime in a U.S. court.
Of course, that is easy to say because I know what will be planned to happen in the future, but slick Donald Trump most likely will find a way to not serve any jail time. But remember, Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a STATE court, which means no future president can pardon him from serving if he goes to jail. I truly believe that the future will not be kind to Donald J. Trump, who in my mind has been and will continue to be the worst president the United States has and will EVER have.
The United States people have decided to elect this criminal president, and only time will tell how much damage he will do before he leaves office a second time, especially if democracy fails and he becomes a dictator. He claims he wants to be a dictator on day one, so let’s see if he keeps his word.
