The leading candidate for one of America’s two major-party presidential nominations currently faces 91 felony counts as a result of four different criminal indictments. Donald Trump is effectively running for the nation’s highest office to prevent himself from becoming the holder of the nation’s lowest office — prison inmate.
Had the writers of a fantastical show like 24 been handed a script featuring this scenario, it would have been laughed out of the writing room as being too implausible. (And this is a show in which the American vice president, Charles Logan, plotted with terrorists to assassinate a former president.)
