    I think it’s important to cover his trials but I wish we’d ignore these articles which are rooted in gossip and nothing more. It’s just clickbait.

      I understand your complaint, but I do relish the idea of Trump being worried shitless about this. And while the article’s sources are obviously questionable and it is merely hearsay, I personally do think Trump is terrified of going to prison. This is a man who has known nothing but wealth and privilege his entire life; spending his remaining years in a jail cell means not just a loss of his favored lifestyle, but public humiliation as well, which—for a malignant narcissist like Trump—is probably the worst part of it.

        That’s a weird way of saying “support bad journalism that tells you what you want to hear, it’s ok to keep watering journalism down”

          Not what I was saying at all, but you obviously just see what you want to see in other people’s words, rather than trying to actually understand them.

          Fuck off.

            “I do understand your complaint, but - [let me write you a paragraph explaining why the article tickles my jollies, oh boy!]”

            It’s not hard to see why that sounds like a counterpoint being made. Especially since if it wasn’t, then it’s really just a pointless comment.

            You may now fuck off.
