I’m sure huffpost knew what they’re implying. In truth he’s vowing to continue his presidential run from prison if necessary. The headline on their actual article is clearer: “Trump Vows To Run For President From Prison If Convicted”
I don’t think he’ll get very far, he is probably really bad at running.
Bone spurs will do that to you.
With the right motivation, people can run pretty far and fast. In his case the motivations is likely hamberders.
Especially in a 6x8 cell.
Wouldn’t a conviction of the January 6th insurrection bar him from office via the 14th Ammendment?
Kinda sure stoking a rebellion against the government is a bigly no-no.
Only if he is charged with either aiding or inciting an insurrection. It has to specifically be one of those charges, or actual treason based on all of the legal interpretations I have seen.
So a felon can’t vote but could run for president?
Well yea. A felon running for prez implies they are the right kind of felon: wealthy.
While a felon who can’t vote is : poor, poc, not worthy of participating in our lovely, high-water mark democracy.
The Government doesn’t want you to know about this one trick!
Weird right? Somebody should probably do something to address both of those issues.
He did tell them to “March down there and fight like hell” just after Ghouliani said we need to have “Trial by combat.”
That’s inciting stupid people to do something stupid.
I agree that it was incitement. I would also personally argue that Donald Trump is in fact a traitor. However, my personal opinion and what he can be tried and convicted for by a jury of his peers are two entirely different things.
Yes, but no.
First, Trump would have to be charged, and convicted, of treason, insurrection, etc., in order for that to apply. There’s been no legal determination of that yet, and it’s unlikely to come prior to the election.
Second, this presumes that Congress does what it’s supposed to do, and refuses to swear in a president that has elected after committing treason, etc. If congress simply ignores section 3 of the 14A, then there’s not really much of a remedy available to a typical citizen.

He’ll get all the free hamberders and covfefe he can eat in there. Win win for him
The guards don’t like it when you try to run.
This post is meta-commentary on the clickbait headline itself. I believe this still meets rule 1 as it differs only to add context and be more descriptive.
The sad thing about this even without context this isn’t the dumbest thing I read coming from the US today

Ok then, no bail.
This “my political opponent should be in JAIL!” which Trump himself popularized, is dumb. He’s an old, wealthy, former president…it’s really really unlikely he goes to jail, even if found guilty.
That’s not the only way a person can be punished, and it shouldn’t be the bar you have in your head for whether or not he got appropriately punished.
He won’t stop it. Knowing Trump, he’ll believe that running from prison will help his chances.
Knowing his voters, it most likely will.
