I have a feeling Trump is TRYING to go to jail for contempt [View all]

In his four-cell brain, this will enhance his martyrdom claims and cause untold millions to vote for him in sympathy for the great sacrifices he has made to Make America Great Again.

And of course he will dictate to one of his minions a Letter From The Holding Cell At A Manhattan Courthouse to show that he loves his country so much he’s willing to go to prison to drain the swamp.

Only problem with this theory is that pitching him in the neighborhood jail will reinforce in most people’s minds of just how worthless he is. You do understand that the last president to get tossed in jail was Ulysses S. Grant, and the only reason he got jailed is no one had invented the speeding ticket yet. (This is true: President Grant’s favorite pastime was driving a horse-drawn carriage like a madman and he got arrested for doing it several times. But it was all good because he and the cop who kept hauling him in became very good friends in the end.)
