This is why I expect President Trump to make his way to Switzerland before Jan 21st rolls around and he becomes vulnerable to being … arrested:
Unlike the federal court system, which often allows prisoners to remain free during the appeals process, state courts tend to waste no time in carrying out punishment. After someone is sentenced in New York City, their next stop is Rikers Island. Once there, as Trump awaited transfer to a state prison, the man who’d treated the presidency like a piggy bank would receive yet another handout at the public expense: a toothbrush and toothpaste, bedding, a towel, and a green plastic cup. [“The People v. Donald J. Trump,” Jeff Wise, New York Intelligencer]
Only a great arrogance would restrain him from pulling a Marc Rich. And he may have that arrogance. But that might turn out to be one of his greatest mistakes. It can be hard to be charismatic from a prison cell. So it’ll be Switzerland for him.
And then he’ll harangue his cult from afar. Beating him in November won’t shut him up, I fear. We’ll just have to learn to ignore him and his cult members.
