Donald Trump has become the first president in history to be indicted under criminal charges. How does this affect the 2024 presidential election?

Because nothing has happened since then? Traitortrump has cost the GOP elections 3 times in a row now. When does reality enter the picture

The fact that he couldn’t win a second term speaks volumes. It takes an incredibly unpopular president to do that. Trying to win a second term against an incumbent Biden is a massive long shot.

It’s also important to remember why people chose Trump over Hillary in the first place. Hillary represented the status quo and Trump represented change. Trump only made politics more corrupt and gave more handouts to the rich in classic Republican fashion. The fact that only die hard Trump supporters will even admit they support him speaks volumes. The more Trump flails around looking helpless the more people won’t support him, and he’s throwing toddler level tantrums now. Only the die hard authoritarians are left now.

He won’t win. No longer electable.

Flashbacks to 2016.

Are these Felony charges he is facing?

They were felony charges for Weisselberg so presumably they are for the person who ordered him to do so.

Are these Felony charges he is facing?

Dem candidate is………………

The problem is the democrats aren’t hyping up anyone on their side as a possible president. They can’t exactly run Joe again as he’s old as hell and not coming off well physically either.

What did he do wrong? Was it a mean tweet he made?

Sexually assaulting someone and being sued for $300 million because he can’t stop lying about it is a start lmfao

Being sued means you can’t be president? And being accused of a crime with zero evidence also means you can’t be president? Aw man.

Well there was evidence :man_shrugging: that’s why he was found liable and is forced to pay $300 million now, not to mention he’s a felon, felons aren’t allowed to vote lmao I don’t think one should be allowed to run either but oh well, more embarrassment for the Republican Party when he loses again

I think the knee-jerk reaction is this will help him in the primary - at the very least providing a huge fundraising boost, but it’s hard to imagine this isn’t a massive blow to his chances with non-MAGA independents he needs to win the general.

Wait there was evidence of it happening? No way this is new to me! What was it?

Trump going to prison would make the GOP incredibly happy. As it stands he’s the favorite to win their primary. They know he’s got almost no chance of winning so they want him gone. They’ll publicly talk about government overreach and weaponizing the Justice department but privately they’re thrilled they might be able to get rid of their albatross.

They’ll cave. Trumps loyal base may be 30% of GOP voters (rather than the population), but they’re the once who turn out for primaries and elections like clockwork. The GOP can’t win without them so they can’t risk alienating them.

Where did you get that from?
