Donald Trump just appeared to admit that he’s going to prison
Donald Trump has four criminal trials with a combined ninety-one felony counts between now and the next election, and he’s going to be convicted on most or all of them. His future consists of prison and nothing more. He was reminded of that today when Judge Chutkan laughed off his attempt at delaying his Washington DC criminal trial.
Now it appears Trump is beginning to accept the reality that he’s going to prison. How do we know this? Well, he just said it in exact words:
Ok 👍🏼

Actually, he said he’s willing to go to jail in order to “win.” This is complete nonsense. No one wins by going to jail. There’s a lot of room for debate about what constitutes winning and losing in life, but we can all agree that going to prison for the rest of your natural life means you’ve lost.
Yet Trump is now at a point where he’s talking how it’ll be a “win” for him if he goes to jail. Based on the rapidly declining cognitive abilities he’s displaying in his public appearances, he’s not capable of having thoughts of his own anymore. He’s at a point of pliability where whatever opinion he’s stating on any given day is merely whatever the people around him told him to think that day.
This suggests that Trump’s own people have now convinced him that if he goes to prison it’ll mean he’s “winning.” This is one way to keep Trump sated as he gets marched closer and closer to prison. If they can keep a senile Trump convinced that his criminal trials, convictions, and even his imprisonment are somehow a good thing for him, he won’t fire them on his way down. Which at this point is likely the only goal Trump’s handlers have left, given that there’s nothing they can do to actually help him.
