    That won’t happen as he may turn out to be more dangerous dead than alive.

    You can stick him in prison and then people can forget about him but if he dies he becomes a martyr.

      Oh, I completely agree he will be far more dangerous dead than alive. Particularly because they won’t struggle to control him anymore. I wasn’t suggesting it should go that way… More suggesting that I can easily see it happening. On purpose. Specifically so that they can control the narrative.

      There is no scenario where Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump doesn’t wind up with the same historical reputation as that of Benedict Arnold. His crimes were arguably bigger than Arnold’s crimes.
