You could have heard Donald Trump is going to be arrested this week. The particular person saying that’s, in fact, the least credible particular person on this total enterprise — the previous POTUS himself.
What we’ve been listening to is that Trump is prone to be indicted very quickly. (We’ve already mentioned why everybody thinks he’s lastly dealing with penalties for the Stormy Daniels hush cash fee HERE.) But so far as an arrest goes, with the entire SVU perp stroll with {the handcuffs} and all, the way in which we perceive it that’s not possible to occur in any respect. Even if the grand jury indicts, the ex-Prez will get the wealthy particular person remedy and be invited to make preparations for a authorized give up. He received’t even spend an hour in jail — he’ll simply hold doing his factor whereas the wheels of justice slowly grind. That’s what we’ve been made to grasp anyway.

But politically, he’s loving the concept of taking part in up the arrest. In an electronic mail to supporters on Monday, he requested for assist. And this time he’s in search of greater than “11,000 votes” — he mentioned he desires “74 million patriots” to assist him by signing a petition to cease his arrest. the marketing campaign electronic mail introduced:
“They’re trying to intimidate YOU and cancel out YOUR vote… which is why the Trump for President 2024 campaign is compiling millions and millions of petition signatures from Americans like you CONDEMNING these threats of a possible arrest.”
Hilariously, although, the hyperlink brings supporters to not a web page the place they signal a petition however the place they’re then requested to… you in all probability guessed it… give him cash! Fans can donate by hitting buttons from $24 to $3,300. There’s no stay petition wherever concerned, not a public listing or something.
So if you happen to have been questioning why Trump is taking part in up the concept of being arrested — once more one thing we’re listening to received’t occur in any respect — the reply is similar as most solutions in terms of Trump. Money.
These type of spam-like emails that unexpectedly deliver supporters to donation pages have been used earlier than by Trump, but additionally by different politicians on each sides of the aisle, together with Nancy Pelosi. And it’s gross each time. But attempting to boost marketing campaign cash in a sketchy method primarily based on a supposed arrest for marketing campaign finance violations is definitely a brand new one. No one mentioned Trump wasn’t humorous.
