    Not gonna happen. No matter how this trial goes. I know I sound cynical, I want to be wrong. I don’t think he sees a cell, and if somehow he does I bet he runs for president from there.

      This is a civil trial. He won’t see jail for it. The documents case he might but that one doesn’t even start for like 8 months.

          Why are you ignoring the fact that he’s losing the ability to do business in NYC? That’s basically his entire brand, and how he’s made money since he was a child:

          Engoron ordered the cancellation of state business certificates filed by Trump, his two adult sons and the other defendants in the case, meaning the former president will potentially lose control of his famed New York properties.

          They’re taking Trump Tower and a bunch of buildings away from him. Many buildings with his name on them are owned by other people. The Trump Org just managed the building, and they are not going to be able to exist in NYC any longer.

            What does he care? All he has to do now is continue to grift money from maga - which will be even easier as he becomes more and more of a martyr, and after he gets the Republican nomination.

            Until he’s sitting in a cell, he’s experienced nothing but inconvenience.
