The only net positive I can imagine coming out of Trump having to spend a night in the courthouse lock-up (they have one) is our getting to see what his hair and makeup looked like the next day.
Donnie does not understand the word “no”. He finds himself under the control of a court room environment. It is a new, improved, stress in his life that has to be churning and building up in him.
My understanding of behavior dynamics predicts he will have to act out and get himself into the next level of control, or finally blow an aneurism.
There is no deal on the table, nor was there ever one offered. If there were such an offer and it was still open, he could still take it and change his plea.
I don’t believe they’ll let him take his Blackberry with him to jail. But he can pass all the notes he wants to under the door of his cell to his jailers. Of course, he will only get chubby crayons to write with. NO Sharpies!!!
IIRC, in cases where a judge has told a defendant not to post on social media, it’s basically been under threat of further sanctions including incarceration if they do it. There is no practical mechanism to prevent him from getting online other than incarceration, and he’ll need to be fined a few times before that’s in the cards.
