Trump guilty on all charges

Re: Trump guilty on all charges

No doubt Andrew Neil and those in this thread telling us what will happen next are falling back on all of those precedents we have of former Presidents who have been found guilty in criminal cases. We are in unchartered territory, it wouldn’t surprise me either way what happens next, I don’t know enough about attitudes in the USA in the mid 2020s to make a judgment, but it seems to me that until the 2016 election, a case like this would have been fatal for anyone running for President.

so now we have felon vs dementia patient - what a choice

Seemed madness the first time given ages if nothing else.

The US must have some much younger, more level headed, sane candidates to put forward?

Surely this verdict is going to stop him becoming president ?

Nothing in constitution to stop a felon being POTUS.
The situation wasn't considered by the Founding Fathers.

Must be a bit outdated, having to pay off pornstars probably wasn't common then. Too busy hanging bear arms on the wall.

It really is a dreadful choice for American voters.
I'm not sure Trump's mental state is a lot better than Biden's either.

To be fair it's not just right wing loons that will vote for him. He had 70 odd million votes and probably would again when his opposition is someone like Biden.

Just seems bizarre to me that it's these two going again.

As others have said these are the best two candidates the USA can come up with? Somethings not right - what a mess the world is right now and it could get worse!

The obsession with American politics in the UK baffles me

People out in the street protesting because a guy said grab her by the pussy, vs actual regimes that kills people

Add Putin, Kin Jong Un, Xi Jinping, Macron and for a while Boris, and Liz Truss, it really makes you wonder!

This situation simply reflects the moral decline of the USA. Here is a bloke who cheated on his wife and tried to cover it up by paying off a porn actress to keep stumm using his business account monies to do so. And some people want this man to be their president! For God bless America read God help America.

I believe that if he were to be imprisoned he couldn't vote himself but can still stand as a presidential candidate. A tad bizarre, methinks.
