An assassin's bullet may not have succeeded in knocking Republican nominee Donald J. Trump off the board, but a trusted Democratic ally could do so through the use of the law.
Although he has largely slipped under the radar, the former president will still face sentencing for his misdemeanor conviction in the Stormy Daniels mock trial and the crooked partisan judge could send him straight to prison .
Trump should expect no leniency when he is sentenced in the same courtroom where he was subjected to a grotesque Soviet-style spectacle earlier this year with Judge Juan Merchan poised to deliver what could be a kick in the bowels less than two months before voters went to the polls.
There has been much speculation on social media that Merchan might order Trump locked up at the infamous Riker's Island, and former Bush administration official John Yoo, now a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, suggested that the democrats could produce an “october surprise” a month. early

“He could have exercised his discretion here to change the sentencing date, but instead he moved it closer to the beginning of absentee voting in my home state of Pennsylvania,” Yoo said during a Thursday appearance on Fox News . “Really, can you imagine what would happen if Judge Merchan sentenced Donald Trump to prison, even though he's a non-violent first-time offender?”
“What if Judge Merchan went even crazier and said Donald Trump can't even stay out of jail while his case is on appeal? Does he have the power to order Donald Trump to jail immediately, although I hope he wouldn't,” he said.
Merchan delayed the ruling since mid-July after Trump's big immunity victory at the Supreme Court, but that was probably more out of a need to let the legal team get its ducks back in a row than anything else. , and as Yoo points out, it brings it closer. in the elections
Trump has repeatedly criticized the judge in the strongest terms, and he reacted to Merchan's refusal to relax his onerous gag order by unloading on him on Truth Social, describing what the New York courts are doing as something of the former Soviet Union, which it is.

“This is the real fascist 'thing', the former Soviet Union! There's a lot to say and I'm not allowed to say it. The US Supreme Court needs to be involved. New York is trying to steal the election!” Trump wrote in a post that it's like waving a red cape in front of a raging bull with a judge practically salivating for being a hero to his Democrat friends.
Trump has previously said he would be willing to be sent to prison and would “gladly become a modern-day Nelson Mandela,” referring to the South African leader who spent nearly three decades in some of his country's dirtiest prisons before going out as their leader.
Unlike Mandela, however, Trump will never get out unless he wins the election. These are the bets.
What a sniper's bullet couldn't accomplish, a prison cane would do the trick and send Democrats dancing in the streets.
