Is he trying to get thrown in prison so he can blame Democrats for his inevitable loss?

Bad news, being jailed doesn't make running for office impossible. Of all people he'd be able to turn it into an election positive for his followers.

Well he'd be hindered in campaigning, raising funds, giving speeches and interviews, and making back-room deals. I can't imagine that would help his chances. Knowing Trump it would give him someone else to blame, as he seems incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

Perhaps some of that. Let's do an experiment and put him in prison to find out what changes.

He's trying to bash against his cage. Egoist like Trump do not like to be under anyone or be told to do anything.

I wish I could say it is like 4d chess or something, but no. There is nothing good that will come from him in prison.

He won't be able to talk to anyone. Speak to anyone. Travel. Golf. Fly in expensive jets. Share classified documents. Sex. Everything he does from breathing to pissing will be monitored 24/7.

Worse, it gets the US government in the habit of imprisoning someone like Mr. Trump.

Maybe he'll get a martyr complex, but even then, all that does is put him in an disadvantageous position to get his branding of message across, or to spin the narrative. He'd have to rely on his followers.... which is starting to become more slim fan-club by the day.

Your 2nd sentence seems to be at odds with the rest of your statement.

My apologies, I am attempting to make a point of reference in relation to Donald Trump "point of view".

But, in hindsight, I can see how that might be out of context :|
