Trump avoids the threat of jail for four years

Donald Trump's overwhelming triumph at the polls guarantees him his freedom for four years. All the trials waiting in the wings will disappear, all the threats of imprisonment will vanish, all the fines and accusations and charges will be put back in the cupboard gathering dust while he reigns supreme as the president of the United States and commander-in-chief. In fact, it's pretty likely his Justice Secretary and Attorney General will get rid of all the charges, including the ones where he has already been convicted, so that when/if he leaves office in 2029, he will be a free man. Winning the election was his best and only way of relieving himself of all the charges he faced. It's a thunderous victory for him, especially since millions of good-thinking Americans with decent values thought it could never happen. They were all proved wrong because many more voters decided it was perfectly all right to elect a man facing multiple federal charges, most of them probably believing that it was all a put-up job by the Democrats to stop him becoming president. Today, Trump has got his own back. So beware all of his opponents. It's going to be a rough ride for them. Trump's inaugural speech when he takes over from Joe Biden on January 20 will tell us all what he has in mind. It won't be pleasant.
