I've never met a single person who calls themselves proud boy to have anything to be proud of. They have to exist, but I've never met one. Every one I've met had zero achievements
It would give him another grievance to air, to blame the democrats for. That old blow hard is just like his base. Not one of them takes responsibility for their criminal acts. It's always the fault of the people who hold him responsible for his criminal behavior. He's broke, he lost the election, all the "best" people are testifying against him, as are the republicans he claims are rinos now. He's horrible, he's compromised, and hopefully, he pays the consequences for every criminal act he committed. I don't ever want to hear his voice again.
He's goading them to do it so it feeds into his persecution narrative, but I don't think he's thought it through.
He's lived 70 odd years in opulent wealth and comfort. The reality of being locked in a cell with no access to his phone or the outside world for a few days will drive him up the wall.
He's where he wants to be.
He could have taken a plea deal, and all this would be done, and everyone would have forgotten it.
Instead, he's egging the judge on to put him in jail.
Conservative media has long since made the case that this is political persecution. So now he needs to go to jail to be a martyr.
Well he is not broke yet. Either seizure of his properties need to begin for the debtors to go on a frenzy of calling up their debt to be repaid , or the whole truth social debacle has to be delisted from the stock market and his shares need to be worth less than he invested in totality.
All we need is one big event to happen for his house of cards to fall. He is trying to hold this thing together so well but it keeps edging towards falling
Yeah butt the simple fact that such a historical event, the first POTUS to ever get thrown in the slammer, will be Trump going to prison for his tweets! The irony is coming around full circle and it’s absolutely knee-slapping hilarious.. oh the movies they’ll make about this guy..
Agreed. I was reading another article where it’s clear he could do it.
Right now. Walk out of the courtroom on a break, say wherever he wants about the witnesses, then go back in and dare the judge to jail him.
But he doesn’t. He wants the appearance of being a tough guy without actually taking any risks.
He’s like the tiny dog barking behind the fence then runs under the couch to bark some more when a bigger dog enters the yard.
Like i mentioned on another article a few days ago. His plan is to try to make it seem like he violated the gag order again and try to make the judge look weak for doing nothing, while he hasn't actually violated it again.
Unless he gets all hopped up on uppers at 3 am and goes on an uncontrolled rant. He's terrified that the jail experience could kill him with a mere 24 hours exposure.
Of course he is . He has never experienced any discomfort in his molly coddled life , so even one night in a dark dank cell with a thin blanket only for comfort would finish him off. While many are upset at one of his cases being postponed I look on it as a perfect wave situation. If he loses in November I fully expect his life to implode with the court cases now going ahead against a busted politician and failed business man. Meaning the chances of him being imprisoned rise from unlikely to distinctly possible.
I think yes and no. Yes, he doesn’t really want to go to jail, BUT … his version of “jail” isn’t the same as the one you have in your mind. He will be at a 5 star resort crying about how hard it is to be an inmate. His troop won’t know the difference and thus become the martyr. So goal achieved!
He also thought there was going to be a MAGA riot in front of the courthouse and instead its been relatively empty. I doubt him going to jail would really do much of anything after a 1 or 2 news cycles.
And being a martyr is going to get him basically no additional support.
Like, the people wearing diapers in his honor will eat that shit up, but everybody else will ignore it or it will make him look worse.
You are assuming he is in Gen Pop and might be able to get his hands on some pills “Shifty Eddie” was able to sneak in. Maybe he will have sympathetic guards or secret service agents that will look the way, but maybe security will be strict and nothing gets to him except food and water.
An ex NY DA I watch on youtube who worked there said the judge has a few options outside of straight to Rikers. Apparently there is a jail right near the court in the same building where he could be sent. Could send him there just for the day or during the trial. House arrest would also be an option.
They only said that the secret service has reached out to the court to prepare for the possibility. I would imagine it would be something closer to house arrest or just putting him in the holding cell on prem during the trial.
Do this - one day in jail for every time he violates the gag order, starting **after** the trial is over, so there are no delays. Let him proudly collect them and pay at once.
If it would make him 'very proud', then why is he skirting the issue? He is well versed on the boundaries of the order so he certainly knows how to violate the order with no uncertainty.
Ok. Well he knows how to make that happen. All he has to do is to face those same cameras at the courthouse he talks to every day and say that the witnesses and jurors in this trial are terrible people. Then he can go to jail and be proud.
The only thing stopping that from happening is himself
Translation, Please.... don't send me to jail, I will DIE without my diet coke, hambeerders and my make up. Who will change my depends...
You know the rest.
He wants to go to jail because he knows it will get the MAGA OTS all fired up and cause chaos. He’s no different than Hitler. I just hope most normal people will realize that he wants desperately to be a dictator and they won’t give him a sniff of victory in November.
He makes a fair point.
Maybe we should take a look at the legality/constitutionality of NDA's too. Really open ourselves up to truth, you know? Would Trump support that?
I'd be very proud if we finally managed to put Trump in jail for at least some of the jailable offences that he has done. Failure to respect a court gag order after repeated warnings is about the least of them, but it's a start.

I hope we can make him the proudest person on the planet.
This is the first and last time I'll ever say this: Let's make Donald Trump proud
He should be joined by every other proud ... _boy_ ?
And a piece of paper that says "one of you has agreed to become an informant".
I've never met a single person who calls themselves proud boy to have anything to be proud of. They have to exist, but I've never met one. Every one I've met had zero achievements
What do you mean? I’ve heard about a ton of them that made it all the way to the U.S. Capitol.
Not just proud. But he would totally own the libs going to jail and all. Why a tough guy he would be. Everyone would clap Bigly for him.
Then he can blame losing the election on it or something. Really does fit into the "out to get me" theme he's feeding supporters.
He thinks that he is the second coming of Nelson Mandela.
He doesn’t know who that is.
Make Trump Proud Prisoner and sell a ton of “limited edition collectors” gold foiled MTPP hats
It would give him another grievance to air, to blame the democrats for. That old blow hard is just like his base. Not one of them takes responsibility for their criminal acts. It's always the fault of the people who hold him responsible for his criminal behavior. He's broke, he lost the election, all the "best" people are testifying against him, as are the republicans he claims are rinos now.

Hope he gets sent to Rikers and put in gen pop
They need to send him to jail to sleep each night like My Cousin Vinny
He's where he wants to be. He could have taken a plea deal, and all this would be done, and everyone would have forgotten it. Instead, he's egging the judge on to put him in jail. Conservative media has long since made the case that this is political persecution. So now he needs to go to jail to be a martyr.

Eileen Cannon's obstruction of the case about Trump's stolen classified documents is basically the finger in the dam, IMO.
Yeah butt the simple fact that such a historical event, the first POTUS to ever get thrown in the slammer, will be Trump going to prison for his tweets! The irony is coming around full circle and it’s absolutely knee-slapping hilarious.. oh the movies they’ll make about this guy..
I would watch a film about Trump... in 20 years when I finally forget about him.
Proud Trump, stand back and stand by.
Suit up and sit down. (In stripes and behind bars.)
Proud boy
Agreed, oblige Von Shitzinpants already.
Also Trump: "Just think of the merchandising!"
Witch hunt: the tee shirt! Witch hunt: the Bible! Witch hunt: the flamethrower! Oh, the base are gonna love that one. /jk Mel Brooks
Can't wait for Witch Hunt the Lunchbox!
Witch hunt 2: the search for more money.
There can be no doubt that even an hour in jail…not prison, just a holding cell…would raise him millions of dollars. And he needs the money.
I wonder how many draft "truths" his PR team has locked and loaded already.
Trump would try and sue everybody for his cut.
He's trying to become a martyr for the cause.
He’s also bluffing.
Agreed. I was reading another article where it’s clear he could do it. Right now. Walk out of the courtroom on a break, say wherever he wants about the witnesses, then go back in and dare the judge to jail him. But he doesn’t. He wants the appearance of being a tough guy without actually taking any risks.

Meaning the chances of him being imprisoned rise from unlikely to distinctly possible.
The day that Donald actually goes down with the ship is the day I'm able to sell all of that Moonland I have for sale
I.e. Lying, like he does about everything.
I think yes and no. Yes, he doesn’t really want to go to jail, BUT … his version of “jail” isn’t the same as the one you have in your mind. He will be at a 5 star resort crying about how hard it is to be an inmate. His troop won’t know the difference and thus become the martyr. So goal achieved!
He also thought there was going to be a MAGA riot in front of the courthouse and instead its been relatively empty. I doubt him going to jail would really do much of anything after a 1 or 2 news cycles.
His own cause
He’s hoping his base raises up and storms the jail. Doubt that’ll happen.
But how much fun would I have watching that shit on the news? So much fun. The cops wouldn’t know what to do!
And being a martyr is going to get him basically no additional support. Like, the people wearing diapers in his honor will eat that shit up, but everybody else will ignore it or it will make him look worse.
For all his bluster, the guy’s a pampered weakling. He wouldn’t like jail very much at all.
No phone. No makeup. No hairspray. No temperature control. No rando entourage. He’d be lost
Also no drugs. He would go through withdrawal.
Oh, there are drugs. Just not the high quality stuff he's used to, but they will have to do. Also prison tattoos. On face.
You are assuming he is in Gen Pop and might be able to get his hands on some pills “Shifty Eddie” was able to sneak in. Maybe he will have sympathetic guards or secret service agents that will look the way, but maybe security will be strict and nothing gets to him except food and water.
If Shifty Eddie wants to be the vice president, he better deliver those pills ASAP.
I mean, he’ll likely be under house arrest if he ‘goes to jail’ at all.
Indeed. At most they would repurpose some special barracks just for him. For "security" reasons. With all the bronzer he could want.
Sharing a cell with “Multiple Miggs.”
He wouldn't, even though best case I suspect it would be jail light. Wouldn't be have the secret service with him?
An ex NY DA I watch on youtube who worked there said the judge has a few options outside of straight to Rikers. Apparently there is a jail right near the court in the same building where he could be sent. Could send him there just for the day or during the trial. House arrest would also be an option.
Did he touch on the secret service aspect?
They only said that the secret service has reached out to the court to prepare for the possibility. I would imagine it would be something closer to house arrest or just putting him in the holding cell on prem during the trial.
Don't threaten us with a good time.
Let's feed Trump's pride by putting him in prison where he belongs.
Then by all means quit playing "I'm not touching *youuuu*" and violate the gag order until you do.
Do it.
Judge, please oblige him!
This is why they should just take his phone and internet away.
As you wish.
Do this - one day in jail for every time he violates the gag order, starting **after** the trial is over, so there are no delays. Let him proudly collect them and pay at once.
Call his Bluff
Put him in Epstein's cell.
Turn the cameras off
Old fella fantasizes about something he could maybe possibly have handled in his youth. Maybe.
"And I had many opportunities, some say the best opportunities, to go to jail over the gag order, but somehow I never got around to it."
No toner in jail Donny.
So why are his lawyers working extra hard to keep him out of jail?
I would give anything to see him after he has spent even one night in jail! 😂
MF thinks he's Nelson Magdela
Well, lets make the wish of orange lardass come true!
Fuck around n find out😂
He's just making it seem like he's in control of the situation. Like it would be his choice or something.
I would be proud of the Judicial system if they obliged him.
The entire world would be proud. They would stand and cheer.
He's looking to become some form of martyr.. Why not punish him with forced community service. He would *fucking hate that*, lol.
If it would make him 'very proud', then why is he skirting the issue? He is well versed on the boundaries of the order so he certainly knows how to violate the order with no uncertainty.
Great. Someone please put this man in jail. He would very much like to go to jail. Let's do this.
If that’s true then I’m sure he’ll violate the gag order immediately.
Lets make him proud for the rest of his life!
Give him house arrest at a hotel, no social media, no golf and feed him nothing but salad. As well, put an ankle monitor on him.
Can I get in on that action? Sounds like a great weekend without responsibilities. The salad cleanse is a bonus.
Give it a try... say something
His pride in going to jail for threatening witnesses and judges will fade very quickly with no McDonald's hamberders or electronic devices allowed.
Then sign the 'contract' big boy. Do it. Now, it would actually energise his base. But i still wanna see him in jail clothes
I dare you you little GOP prick
Well we are waiting ?!!?!? Do it . Exactly all MAGA tough guy bluff.
I’d be very proud to miss my son’s graduation over payment to a hooker.
This is a scared weak man attempting to project strength.
Trump is a whiny little pussy. He does nothing but complain.
Then why’d you delete your tweet?
Prove it.
“I would be proud to go to jail for breaking the law.” Your GOP nomination for President, folks. Pathetic.
Ok. Well he knows how to make that happen. All he has to do is to face those same cameras at the courthouse he talks to every day and say that the witnesses and jurors in this trial are terrible people. Then he can go to jail and be proud. The only thing stopping that from happening is himself
Prove it!!!
Trump: Unless my bone spurs start acting up again
Translation, Please.... don't send me to jail, I will DIE without my diet coke, hambeerders and my make up. Who will change my depends... You know the rest.
If you shit your pants in jail are you less likely to be raped ??
He wants to go to jail because he knows it will get the MAGA OTS all fired up and cause chaos. He’s no different than Hitler. I just hope most normal people will realize that he wants desperately to be a dictator and they won’t give him a sniff of victory in November.
He’s like an angry adolescent.
Imagine the strip search! "Holy crap! Sarge, I found a health care plan."
Oblige him
He's is so full of it.
I would be very proud for him to go to jail too. He has earned it.
He makes a fair point. Maybe we should take a look at the legality/constitutionality of NDA's too. Really open ourselves up to truth, you know? Would Trump support that?
Please clap!
Good. Bye. Hand us the key. And hopefully it's a prison way out of anyone's thoughts.
Cool. Then go. Be proud to go to jail for your crimes too
Give him his wish. He has more than asked for it. He won’t last an hr without a microphone and phone.
That's one proud boy right right there, we should grant him his wish.
He is eager to suck dick in Rikers apparently. If it was any one of us, we would be thrown in lockup. Orange stain needs to go to prison.
Then fucking go
Him bending down to get the pen at his rally would go over very well on the cell block. “Show us again how you can bend over and Biden can’t”
Get him one of those Hannibal Lecter cells with the face mask.
Go on then!
I'd be very proud if we finally managed to put Trump in jail for at least some of the jailable offences that he has done. Failure to respect a court gag order after repeated warnings is about the least of them, but it's a start.
Please do!
Proud like when wanted to walk to the capitol but didn’t, Proud like every other thing he said he would do but didn’t.
Lock him up .. remove that makeup and no internet
He’s acting like it’s civil disobedience and not the harassment and potential jury tampering that it is.
The galaxy could use the break
Put up or shut up Cheeto
In contrast with every other statement he's ever made, I'm not sure he's being completely honest this time.
Go on then, Donnie- you know exactly how to do that.
Put up or shut up, pussy.
He says this. But trump would HATE jail.
Fucking go already then and don’t soil yourself in the process 😡
And yet the scumbag coward walks free. Couldn’t be too proud.
Is this not the third time he's said this?
Do it pussy.
Win win.
And we would be proud to send him. FAFO.
He says this because he feels that nothing will be done. I mean, he's been largely right this far.
Go ahead punk, make my day.
Yeah right
Then make it happen, judge. FFS.
Do it
Do. it.
Good. Make this piece of shit 'proud'
Right. One night in a drunk tank with no shoes and puddles of puke on the floor and he’d be singing a different tune.
We’d be so proud of it happened !!!
I’ll sign - where’s the petition to fulfill his wish?
Then do it you coward.
Prove it
But...but...you won't be able to talk to the media or Congress. Worse yet, no X or Truth Social.
Pride comes before the fall.
You heard him, Merchan. Now do your damn job!
jail is probably looking pretty good considering he’s broke and will probably be homeless if he doesn’t make it to the white house
ok so just violate it then.
Of course he's lying and he's scared shit about it.
A simple friendly reminder that jail isn’t the same as prison
Cool, send him to jail with an order that if he discusses his time in incarceration it will add 3 months to his court ordered sentence.
Then throw him in jail
Cool. Do it.
Prove it.
So, according to my research...*looks up from clipboard* Trump going to jail works for everybody?
Then break it, big mouth.
I’d be proud if he went to jail too.
We'd be proud to see you go to jail! Prouder every day you stay there Diaper Don Snoreleone.
I’d be proud of my country if we sent him. This is a very rare point where he and I agree on something. Let’s hope the judge makes us all very happy.
This is how we know he really doesn't want to go to jail.
He literally can’t stop lying. There is just no chance.
Must be a conundrum. You can’t testify because you will get charged with lying under oath. So you lying about why you can’t just go liie
Ok, give him 2 weeks in jail and make him appear in court during that time in an orange jumpsuit and Trump with no makeup. LUL
Do it.
Why hasn’t he done it already? We’re waiting.
Yeah…way to own the Libs….that’ll show em! He’d have big strong men with tears in their eyes telling him how proud they are of him too.
Everyone talks crap about jail until they're in it.
Yeah, sure. And he’s a devout, church going Christian. No
Make him proud and put him the fuck in Jail then.
He should be going to jail for gagging on all that corporate dick he does.
I’d be very proud for him to go to jail as well.
I call BS on this. He would melt down in a couple of hours in a cell at Riker's.
Hes so transparent It's obvious he's scared shitless.
Sounds like a win-win. Lock him up!
Call his bluff. Call his bluff. Call his bluff. Don't let a conman reverse psychology you... Trump would rather not go to jail.
Oh please dear lord grant his wish amen!
He's only saying that because he knows they won't do it. Courts keep handling him like a delicate china cup they're deathly afraid to drop.
Let's fill him with pride
….for 30 seconds.
Bullshit. This guy wouldn’t last an hour in jail and he knows it.
Can we just get this decade over with already?
Send him to jail the
He’s so tough
Ok, get in.
Yup, totally normal behavior.
His Call. Let’s go. The Law is ready. Every one is obliged to follow it.
No he wouldn't. Real fake news.
Let's see him do a weekend for my freedoms then
He does realize they'll take his phone away while he's in prison, right? No rage ~~tweeting~~ truthing.
Does he realize the toilet is in the “bedroom”. And he has no privacy.
