(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

Would that make him ineligible for the presidency?

Doesn't matter how uneligible he is; his people will vote for him.

Sure, but if he's ineligible, then all that does is split the Republican vote and hand the election to the Democrats on a silver platter. Crisis averted.

I've been hoping for the MAGoo/GOP split since 2015.

I think he has to appear in person for some of the formalities... but otherwise, possibly no?

That'd make for an interesting conversation when he shows up. “Welcome back to America, Mister President. You're under arrest.”
