Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

“Trump’s anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going—and whether they think he’ll win,” Axios reported.

    There is absolutely zero evidence that any of his actions will result in any jail time. There is evidence on the contrary though, that through 2 impeachments, however many court cases and legal battles, fines and fees that may not have been paid, that he’ll get away with it all.

      not to mention the tendency of president’s either outright pardoning or at least refusing to go after previous administrations for small things like fucking watergate, or even better, war crimes.

        It was just common because no president wanted themselves in a position of fighting court battles for poor decisions they made in office. Of course this set the standard both ways, by letting both bad decisions made by good and ill intent slide.

        And then the supreme court wanted to make it clear by setting it in ink that it’s ok.

      Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. The judge is waiting til after the election to sentence him. I’m guessing he’ll do prison if Trump doesn’t win, some other punishment if he does.
