It's a rock and a hard place. If you let Trump do whatever he wants with no consequences, he'll do more bad things because there are no consequences. If you try to prosecute him for bad things, he'll milk his base's persecution complex to empower him to do more bad things.
Democrats have no way out of this jam because they can't run an actually good candidate (even Bernie was intolerable to the party) and 50ish years of fetishizing bipartisanship means they've ceded the ability to really go hard.

in fairness to Trumps belief that he will never face consequences it does seem to be realistic
The easy solution is to just declare Trump a terrorist and hit him with a drone strike when he's in another country.
