If Donald Trump runs for president again in 2024, Robert Palmer, a 54-year-old Florida man, will still be in prison for assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officers during the Jan. 6 insurrection. He was just one of the hundreds of Trump supporters who rushed law enforcement in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. AdvertisementI’ve heard this question from Democrats in my life and seen tweets from large public interest groups: Why isn’t Donald Trump in prison? Trump supporters see the insurrectionists as political prisoners, but nonetheless they don’t seem too concerned about the conditions under which they are held. It’s important to remember that Trump going to prison would be a long way from solving the country’s current problem.
