If the New York jury convicts Defendant Donald, it's a given his supporters will claim the election jury was rigged.
It's a given Defendant Donald will appeal.
It's a given the judge will need a lifetime of protection.
It's a given MAGA world will do their level best to dox the jurors, requiring them to need protection.
Freed from a gag order, it's a given the convict will whine about the judge, the jurors, New York, Joe Biden, the cost of golf clubs, something about clouds and snails and China and socks and roof tiles and whatever else wanders into his stream of consciousness. And, of course, the man who fomented a coup and paid off a porn star to keep her a secret from the voters will whine about election interference with no sense of self-awareness whatsoever.
But is it a given the judge will sentence the criminal to jail? Is it even a given the judge will sentence him to house arrest? If he does sentence the convict to house arrest, will it be in Trump Tower? Will the judge make allowances for campaign appearances?
I can't see Trump going to jail. He has a Secret Service detail for the rest of his life. The logistics are pretty complicated.
What say you?
If you are a Trump supporter and feel compelled in this moment to make attacks, throw red herrings, denialism, whataboutism, post links of Joe Biden falling off his bike, or whatever, don't bother.
I am asking a serious question. What do you think Trump's punishment will be if convicted?
