Donald Trump vs. Jack Smith: Who Wins?

So, yesterday Trump goes on one of those alt-right media stations and claims that he will campaign, win, and serve as President even if he’s in jail.

Now what’s most interesting about this piece of verbal crap is that Trump is actually admitting that there’s a possibility he could wind up in jail. He’s never said that before, which means that maybe, just maybe, he is beginning to acknowledge that things in Trump-land may be getting out of control.
