I’ll say it again: as much as the thought of Trump in an orange jumpsuit is the stuff of progressive pornographic fantasy, he would still go down swinging to the end and would take strength that his “base” viewed him as martyred by the “deep state”. Seeing Princess Ivanka tried, convicted and sentenced would be his undoing.
What gods do I have to sacrifice to in order to make that happen? Just say the word, Ophelia, and it is done.
Chris, seeing Ivanka convicted and sentenced would hurt him, no doubt about that at all, but that would be no more than a scratch in comparison to what seeing the Princess turn state’s evidence in exchange for immunity from prosecution would do to him. Imagine the stories she could tell!
That said, I firmly believe that Trump would throw anybody under the bus to keep himself out of prison (that skin in a standard-issue prison jumpsuit would look like a partially peeled Seville orange), including Little Eric, Don Jr., and yes, even the Princess. Sacrificing the many for the sake of the all-important self is just what narcissists do.
I do hope that Ivanka’s self-survival instinct is Trump-worthy, because as the net draws ever closer to Daddy, she is bound to be one of the last of his circle to find herself having a friendly chat with the FBI. I have this hope not because I care a fig about what happens to Ivanka but because I really, really want Daddy Trump’s downfall to be as humiliating and painful as possible for him, and having Ivanka turn against him would, I think, be the final nail in his coffin and the shovel that digs his grave.
