(15,535 posts)It may bother Trump more than jail time during the trial because he'd be stuck in NY longer. Also, Merchan could offer to void the order IF Trump STOPS entirely - which means the jurists would be safe and can maintain their anonymity.

If he wants to take a shower, let him experience that. You can always do the jail time after thing later. I don't think it will work, because he'll still feel the need to screw with the jury, and he won't be thinking about the upcoming consequences. He's like a little kid. He needs a reality check NOW.

(15,535 posts)His post the other evening was titled "My Last Post" - as if he was expecting to be put in jail.
I'm not sure whether the benefit of shocking Trump with a few nights in jail is worth providing his minions with a MISSION - must re-elect Trump so he can get revenge.

(6,569 posts)has enough brain cells between all of them to rub two together. The attention span is lacking. And those that are maniacal will do whatever they're gonna do, anyway.
I just think that the point is to get him off the witnesses' and the jury's backs. Money won't affect him; somebody else always pays his bills. Hurting him consists of 1) selling his stuff, and 2) putting him in jail. Plus, all that crap (pun intended) that he does in the courtroom shows his contempt of this judge and the process. I'm in favor of having the judge demonstrate his power. Then, if we want to escalate something, escalate fines and jail time. Have Trump report to the jail every Wednesday. We are not afraid of Trump's 6 minions.
