Trump can win after all a drug dealer won in Nigeria
Re: Can Trump Still Be President As A Convicted Felon? by Ashirioluwa: 3:09pm On May 31, 2024
Article 1 of the U.S Constitution sets out three requirements to be president. You have to be 35 years old, a natural-born citizen, and 14 years a resident within the U.S.

Being a convicted felon is not a bar to being president.

While the related question of whether voters will put someone with a criminal record in the White House is another factor to weigh.

Another legal issue is what happens if Trump were elected while serving a prison sentence.

You forgot a drug dealer, identity thief and a thief is your president in this shithole country ooo.

If Trump was president Putin will never try to invade Ukraine, and Palestine will never attack Israel. Trump retired all LGBTQIA+ in the USA armed forces quietly, that why he is being hunted with frivolous convictions, is sleeping with a porn star a crime? if yes, then the porn star (Stormy Daniels), should be convicted alongside Trump. What is the verdict that hush money was paid during campaign season then it's a crime, I wonder for the gay judges that convicted Trump.
you are right trump has a way of dealing with truce issues

If he didn't appeal and he gets a longer jail sentencing in July 11, he may not be ratified at the Republican convention that comes up on July 15. He's still a presumptive candidate until the convention.

Everything is political calculation. They purposely announce a sentencing date that comes before the Republican convention with the expectation that the Republican party would field another candidate.

It is expected that an appeal will follow even up to the Supreme court which will most likely be prolonged beyond the general election in November.

I'm definitely not a Trump fan, but he has his defence team to blame. Like most legal analysts have submitted, they made a mess of the proceedings

Are you confused with your thoughts,for you are not sounding coherent.e g that Stormy Daniels,should also be convicted and is that how the law runs?
But in the Court even your Stormy Daniels affirmed that Trump did had engagement and described the date and the place.
If you are so passionate about Trump innocence,you can also go and vote out all the gabbages he is carrying about,since he committed no offence!

Lol...the donation from MAGA freaky cults grin that does not translate to winning vote...Trump ain't winning shit.
Is that why u are angry at yourself.

If he wins or not,how does it affect me?
Re: Can Trump Still Be President As A Convicted Felon? by AllenSpencer: 3:25pm On May 31, 2024
Trump will contest and could win!

But it’s a white privileged. It does not apply to all!

Thousands of life’s have been ruined for just being an ex felon

You cannot even get a good job, mortgage and so many opportunities you cannot exploit.

It’s a white privilege!

the dumb americans are trying all they can to ensure he doesnt win the up coming election, with him the world was at peace he left and it was all chaos

He can even vote for himself except he is behind bar before the election which is very unlikely. Ordinary notice of appeal will give him enough time to run for the election even before the appeal itself. So from all angles, Trump will weather the storm.
After winning he will deal with Tinibu
Re: Can Trump Still Be President As A Convicted Felon? by eepeepook: 3:37pm On May 31, 2024
We’ll find out if he wins. If he doesn’t, this question is dead in the water.

The conviction will sway many neutral voters, in any way you look at it, Trump fate is already sealed and his MAGA clowns knows it.
Re: Can Trump Still Be President As A Convicted Felon? by KillaBeans(m): 3:40pm On May 31, 2024
In the other post I said his conviction would generate him more sympathy and ultimately more followers. There's high possibility that he will win the election. Biden is of no good to humanity and even Obama. Trump is equally not a saint though but somehow I'm interested in him

Was the BATerian president not a convicted narcotic dealer in US and still became a governor and a mandate thief whose criminality in stealing, grabbing and running away like the thief he is are been felt both home and abroad.

Trump is a saint compared to this INEC selected calamity. My happiness is that those who imposed him on us and celebrated the brazen theft of mandate are not left out of the suffering.
At least thunder dey faya them on a steady, twice on Fridays.

Back to the main topic. Trump should be freed so he can deal ruthlessly with those terrorists in middle east and around the world. No peace for terrorists and BATerians
🤨🤨🤨🤨
Your wailing just started, obirodent miscreant and IPOB cannibal.
You are not bothered that 85% of your brothers and sisters are languishing in prisons all over the world for drug trafficking and related crimes?
Death to all terrorists, Boko Haram, Hezbolah, IPOB, ESN, HAMAS and other terrorist groups.

You can call Tinubu any name but I assure you that Tinubu would be your president till 2031 while your Obi will never sit on president seat. So, keep on with the insults, it would not change anything.

Has nothing to do with white, stop being ignorant.
Anybody can run for president from jail

Trump is a black man in spirit, most other white people would have chickened out, but this dude no no.

Democrats played a very bad card here, they have lost already. From all indications, Trump is the next president. Even if he goes to Jail, which won't happen, he will still win from jail.

Besides, this is only a lower court decision, the plan of the democrats was to use this as a distraction because everyone knows the case will be destroyed at the appeal court.

However, we can see that his donation websites crashed. People are donating what they have never donated before, when people should be running away from Trump.

Trump has exposed the American democracy as a fraud. We are seeing in the US, what INEC and TInubu did to us.
Losers always wailing, accept the fact that your serial party defector and Pandora fraudster lost disgracefully and let the election be conducted again your fake messiah Obingo will always be a loser.

Try going to jail as a black man and see how your life turns out. You won’t even be given the opportunity to run if you the most qualified

Obama was dragged for just “Birth certificate” imagine if he was a convicted felon 🤣🤣🤣

That's why I said it's all politically calculated. They have about a month and half to observe. If they see he's gaining ground despite the conviction, they could add jail sentencing to bottle it up.

He can't, America no be Nigeria where person with well known forged certificate becomes president..
This is why I said most of you knowa nothing. Even as a convicted felon , anyone can contest. So don't say what you don't know. In Nigeria if you a convicted criminal you can't contest....you see why you should just stay off internet
Re: Can Trump Still Be President As A Convicted Felon? by BadBradley: 3:55pm On May 31, 2024
It's a yes.
