Trump convicted; what happens next?

Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 counts in a New York show trial that would make Joseph Stalin proud

Good day frens,

I’m sure you’ve heard the news out of New York. Trump was convicted on all 34 charges and now faces many years in prison. I know there are many people reading this who are likely very emotional right now, but I recommend that you try to maintain a cool head. Do not go onto social media and make threats of violence or anything similar. That is what your enemies want you to do, so do not be stupid enough to do it.

So, where do we go from here? According to this post I saw on X, the sentencing will happen on July 11:

The judge and Trump’s enemies inside the party

So the judge is attempting to give the Republicans a chance to dump Trump. The July 11 date is not a coincidence; the judge chose it deliberately. If he sends Trump to prison days before the Republicans are scheduled to make him the nominee, it gives his enemies inside the party a chance to try to stop him and replace him with somebody else.

Make no mistake about it. Even as I type this article, his enemies are plotting to try to remove him under the guise of not having a convicted felon as the party’s nominee. All of you know full well that Trump’s enemies in the party utterly detest him and are likely celebrating quietly, behind closed doors. Don’t let any pro-Trump statements like this one from Miss Lindsey fool you:

Miss Lindsey and his fellow travelers despise Trump. But they are astute politicians and know they must pay lip service to Trump while they scheme in the background to depose him as the nominee. This is the chance they have waited years for, and they are not going to let it go to waste.

Will they find a way to dump him? I do not know. But if they do replace him, then whoever they pick as the nominee will lose. It will be the final betrayal by the Bush neocon wing of the Republican Party, and the end result will be a catastrophic loss of MAGA voters. Without Trump on the ticket, millions of those voters will stay home, while others will throw a vote to RFK Jr.

But do not assume that Trump’s enemies care about this. They’d rather have four more years of Biden and the Democrats in control of the Senate and House than have Trump back in as president. That is how much they hate him, and you should never underestimate how hate can motivate people. Trump certainly underestimated his enemies, and look at the situation he is now.

Also, bear in mind that displacing Trump will be a bipartisan effort. Or, to put it in real terms, the left head and the right head of the Uniparty will try to take him down. Get used to hearing the term “convicted felon” over and over and over again. The left head of the Uniparty will push hard from that direction, while the right head will pretend to fight for Trump for a while.

But as the days and weeks roll by, the right head will slowly and inevitably give way to the left head. A perfect political climate will have been created to remove Trump, and he will then be removed as the nominee. Remember that the Uniparty has always despised Trump, and both heads will work together to get rid of him once and for all.

My own feelings about Trump’s kangaroo court conviction

I will not deceive any of you reading this, when I found out he had been convicted on all 34 counts, I laughed. I was not angry, nor did I expect any other result. If you have been paying attention to the trial then you knew already that the judge was a Trump hater and acted with malice toward Trump throughout the trial.

Now, you might wonder why I laughed. Well, there are a couple of reasons.

First, Trump summoned his supporters on J6 and led them into a trap. Then he abandoned them to prosecution, conviction, and years of political persecution. No blanket pardon was attempted, and he fled back to Mar-a-Lago with his tail between his legs. They rotted in jail while being tortured in the Democratic gulags in the imperial capital, while Trump soaked up the sun in Florida.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot. Trump himself is now on the receiving end of the lawfare of his enemies, and there is no one to save him (though perhaps the Supreme Court will somehow intervene; I do not know; we shall see). He is suffering the same fate he doomed his supporters to suffer, and the only thing standing between him and a prison cell is that he is the purported Republican nominee. He still has millions of supporters around the country. Will it be enough? We will see in due time.

Second, I wrote about Trump’s weakness back when I wrote my first open letter to him. I have quoted a few relevant passages below for you to read.

This is how I began my letter to him:

…they are coming for you, Donald. They are going to stop you from becoming president if they can, and no mercy will be given to you whatsoever. If they can throw you into prison for the rest of your life, they will do so without hesitation.

Do you see now why that old chestnut from Game of Thrones is true?

“When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die, there is no middle ground.”

But you thought you could make yourself likable to those who wanted to utterly destroy you. How is that working out for you now? Do you finally understand that you needed to wield your power as president ruthlessly to destroy your enemies before they destroyed you?

This part of my letter is absolutely true, and we saw it happen again when he backed the Ukrainian aid bill pushed by compromised Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump reached out and tried to get his enemies to back off a bit by lending his support to that awful bill, and once again it blew up in his face.

Somebody summed it up well in this post on Poast:

I went on to note his weakness, and how his enemies inside the party hate him and could not care less if he is thrown in jail:

As for you, I don’t see you even making it to the election without going to prison. Because you allowed your enemies to destroy your presidency, to kick your fat ass out of the White House by stealing the election, you are vulnerable. They smell your blood in the water, and they are closing in on your bloated body like a pack of Killer Whales chasing down an elephant seal. They know full well that McConnell and the rest of the establishment scum and filth Republicans despise you, and won’t lift a finger to save you.

This was always part of the problem with Trump. His ego was his main motivation, but his enemies were playing the political game to win at all costs. Trump never understood that, and when the time came to cross the Rubicon, he failed:

When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, he shouted to the heavens: Let the dice fly high! Then Caesar went on the attack and destroyed his enemies. You? You were too timid and too cowardly to even put your toe into the water. You never even tried to cross the river, Donald. You just froze at the edge, and your enemies saw it and knew then that they had you.

There’s another delicious parallel between you and Caesar, Donald. His enemies planned to bring him down via the courts. They were going to use lawfare to destroy him, much like you are now being destroyed by the same means. But the difference between you and Caesar is that he saw it, knew what was going to happen, and did what he had to do to protect himself and his people. You did nothing, despite the great power you could have wielded.

You were never Caesar, Donald. At best you were the Brothers Gracchi, and we all know what happened to them in the end. You are quite likely to suffer a similar fate at the hands of your enemies before all is said and done because they don’t fear you at all, not in the least.

But the worst part of Trump’s character failures for me was his refusal to stand by his own people and fight for them. This is how I ended my letter to him:

If you had stood by your people, if you had fought for us, and if you had used your power to protect us, I might have some sympathy for you. But I have none, and if you are forced to do the perp walk, I will smile and laugh as I watch you marched into prison. Not because I agree with your enemies or because I am on their side, but because you had real power and refused to use it for the benefit of your people.

Revenge is a dish best-served cold, Donald, and that is how I regard you now, with icy disdain.

You made your bed, and soon you will lay on it in a prison cell. And the best part? You brought it all on yourself by constantly kissing the asses of your enemies while simultaneously ignoring your people while they were being destroyed by those same enemies.

Enjoy your stay in prison, Donald. You will never be president again.

So now you know why I laughed when I heard the verdict. That last sentence may end up being prescient, but we won’t know until the sentencing hearing, and we must wait to see what Trump’s enemies do to try to throw him out as the Republican nominee. The next month or so is going to be make or break for him.

Keep an eye on that July 11 date, BTW. If the Republicans move the date of his nomination to a day before July 11, then he might yet survive as the nominee. He could potentially win the election even if he is in prison.

But if the date of his nomination remains fixed where it is now, it is likely his enemies will try to push him out and replace him with someone like Nimarata Haley. Oh yes, frens, they will make her the nominee if they can, knowing she will likely lose to Biden. That way, the military-industrial complex insures that a neocon is president, regardless of whether that person is in one or the other wing of the Uniparty.

So stay tuned, my frens. A great deal is going to happen over the course of the next month and a half. Savor the drama because you are living through something that has never happened before in this country, and you are all part of the audience that is watching an empire collapse in front of the entire world.
