    I honestly think he wants to be arrested. It’d do his political campaign wonders to spend a few nights in jail and do a Hitler.

    So perhaps it’s for the best he’s only being fined for now.

    Obviously it’s disgusting, us plebes would have been in jail a long time ago.

      I just wish the fine was 100 times more.

    This shitbag thinks he wants to go to jail, but a couple nights without his phone and makeup, and he’ll be crying like a little bitch.

    Warnings are for people who may have made a mistake or didn’t know the crime was enforced. Does the judge really think this whole incident was just accidental or Trump, with his long history in court, doesn’t know that judges can jail you for contempt? At best you can make an affluenza argument that he’s rich so he believes, with a lot of supporting evidence, that consequences for people like him can never be significant, but like, you’d be a fucking moron.
