The Conman of the Century Is Meeting the End of His Career

The reason we won’t see any of the hats shown here is that we all have a deep repugnance for admitting that we’ve been conned.

Having said that, let’s try to project what might happen to Trump over the coming years and predict how this may affect his support base.  What if he is indicted on the major crimes for which he’s currently under investigation?  What if he’s convicted of stealing classified documents, seditious conspiracy, and election tampering?  What if he’s held in custody to prevent his fleeing the country, then sent to prison for what is essentially a life sentence?

Are there people who will continue to claim that he is the victim of political persecution and a weaponized justice system?

Of course, but it’s clear that these events will force many people to realize what the rest of us Americans (and the vast majority of others around the world) knew the first time we heard him speak: Trump’s life has been one enormous con job.  His career as a criminal finally caught up with him.

Republicans think Democrats live for this day.  And guess what?  They’re right.
