that Mr Trump “would be subject to the same rules as other prisoners, which could restrict their communications and ability to appear at events”.It would not, however, be the first time that a convicted person ran for Presidency in the US. Mr Debs, who ran five times, didn’t deliver a fiery speech on election night, but did release a statement that read: “I thank the capitalist masters for putting me here.
Like Mr Debs, Mr Trump is trying to exploit his legal woes to garner more support for his candidacy. Mr Trump has already called the latest charges against him a “persecution” reminiscent of Nazi Germany, and might well ramp up this rhetoric were he placed behind bars.
