5 min

Tim speculates about sentencing, notes Trump's fundraising surge after the verdict, jokes about the Secret Service protecting him in prison and him running the country "from the can" like Donnie Brasco, and argues jail time would make him look cool to a lot of Americans.

In this bit7 moments
  • Tim outlines the porn star payoff case after years of Russia narratives and explains why it matches exactly what you'd expect from Trump.
  • Karl Rove's polling shows conviction hurts Trump, but exoneration makes him Teflon—and the conviction already happened.
  • Trump's website crashed from donations after conviction; his hardcore supporters are galvanized.
  • The Secret Service will protect Trump in prison, so he might run the country from there like a mob boss running operations from the can.
  • Tim predicts Trump won't lose supporters in prison and will actually gain many—people in jail like someone in jail.
  • Between a candidate who doesn't know where he is and one doing two months in jail, the jailed guy is the cooler candidate.
  • Trump will act like Nelson Mandela in prison, and it will be the best thing that ever happened to him and to Tim.
