‘They’ll Find Something!’ Fox’s Tammy Bruce Predicts Trump Will Go to Jail But His Poll Numbers Will Surge
Fox New contributor Tammy Bruce predicted former President Donald Trump will go to jail but added voters would sympathize with him.
During a Thursday airing of Outnumbered, the panel discussed the possibility of Trump growing his support despite a criminal conviction. Trump is currently in a New York criminal court where he faces criminal charges for allegedly falsifying business documents regarding hush money payments during the 2016 election season.
Trump faces three other criminal indictments in three separate jurisdictions over a variety of charges, including his handling of classified material after leaving office and his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The former president’s other criminal cases are currently stalled at the appeals courts.
Bruce told co-host Emily Compagno that she predicts Trump will either face prison due to violating his gag order from Judge Juan Merchan or from a criminal conviction:
BRUCE I’ve been saying this, I think, for over a year now here on this show and other places, the support is baked in regardless of what happens. When we saw Mar-A-Lago and that insane raid and the police cars at night and going into his house, the American people saw something deeply unfair. And it was, you know, I love Senator Scott’s word engineered. So we’re seeing an engineer dynamic, and it is unfair. It is. It also embodies everything that Trump has been saying. That has been the other dynamic, that there is two tiers, that the system is unfair, that they go after people, it’s weaponized, and all of that has been proven out. So if they’re willing to do that at Mar-A-Lago and they’re willing to do 91 indictments, and the support wasn’t just that it stayed. It increased. I anticipate that they’ll put him in jail. I anticipate everything and my support increases because now it’s it is engineered. It’s a game. It’s not something you trust. And that then ripples into everyone’s opinion about the justice system, from their town to their city to their state to the federal government. It is an obscene thing that they’re doing to this country, making everyone distrust everyone else. Yes, of course, defund the police. And there’s crime everywhere. But now the message is we are in control of everything. If we do this to him, we’re doing it to you. So sit down and shut up and take it. The American people in November are going to make a statement. And it’s they’re not acquiescing to this. And that’s why the support continues.
COMPAGNO: Quick clarification. When you say you predict they’ll put them in jail for violating the gag order, or do you predict-
BRUCE: They’ll find something! Maybe the gag order, even if he is in jail. We have to anticipate with everything they’ve done, they will go to the furthest point.
