Except the only criminal case that has resulted in a criminal conviction is under a couple of appeals. You may end up with a reversed, if not vacated decision before all is settled. Then what? An orange man accusation, which is all a matter of media lighting, after all, and not reality skin color, my friend. Oops.

Most of the court rulings are going against Trump.

You die by criminals/robbers
You survive the criminals/robbers but die by tornadoes and other natural disasters 
You survive the criminals/robbers, tornadoes and other natural disasters, but die by your own friends betrayal. 
You survive everything. But you’d rather die because of trump.

But yuo can only guess that outstanding cases willgfo against Truimp. I prefer the wait and see, thanks, since some have already gone his way. Law of averages, and all that.  And if you're counting the 60-some cases that were filed after the 20 election, "cont4esting the election," do take a look at who the plaintiff was. It was never Trump, himself, just other people and organizations, so they cannot be counted as "against Trump." Everybody overlooks that.

Speakong for yourself, I presume, so, why not say that. It is a general fallacy to always assume everyone opposed to are a colle3ctive of the same stripe. That's no more true than that all Democerats area now afraid of trheur own shadow. I never say that. Some, yes. I am not a TRumper naga, I just voted for the guy because Kamalala was a joke few could laugh at. Some could.

Trump Has Been Stopped By Courts More Than 200 Times
 Courts entered more than 200 orders stopping the administration's actions in 128 cases, with judges sometimes ruling at multiple stages of the ...

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work…

Trump does not sing. But he can dance.

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
I hear that Trump a Trumpeting,

A Trumpeting on the track,

On his way to prison,

He ain't never coming back,

His got them MAGA blues.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Set the government on fire,

Some get hurt along the way,

Empathy is not in the equation,

The end is not far away.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Eat away the fat,

No rodents are safe around here,

Most feeling their in a trap,

Humanity drink your last beer.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
We  got them MAGA blues,

Iran is around the corner,

Ukraine is in moderate shock,

Palestinian's got no cover,

Israel got all the rocks.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
We got them MAGA blues.

Blue blue, was the Earth,

Green green gone in dream,

Peace peace, money buys peace,

War war, money buys war,

We got them MAGA blues.

On her way to work one morning 
Down the path ‘longside the lake 
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake 
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew 
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you” 
“Take me in, tender woman 
Take me in, for heaven’s sake 
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 

She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk 
And laid him by thе fireside with some honеy and some milk 
She hurried home from work that night, and soon as she arrived 
She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived 
“Take me in, tender woman 
Take me in, for heaven’s sake 
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 

She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried 
“But if I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died” 
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight 
Instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite 
“Take me in, tender woman 
Take me in, for heaven’s sake 
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 

“I saved you,” cried the woman 
“And you’ve bitten me, but why? 
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die” 
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin 
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in” 
“Take me in, tender woman 
Take me in, for heaven’s sake 
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 
“Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 
“Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake 

*****
Donald Trump has repeatedly read this poem in his political rallies as a way of attacking immigrants and the US Government’s immigration policies. The ironies are endless: 
– that two of Trump’s wives are themselves immigrants (the current one having a very sketchy background as a “model”);
