If the justice system worked his conviction here would be cause enough to be ineligible for office (as well as each of his 34 felony convictions).
Since this happened prior to this term it also cannot be claimed an official act.
Theoretically something could be done about this before he’s sworn in, but I doubt it.
America, we’re really about to give a felon the keys to the kingdom even though the constitution forbids it because nobody in a position of power here cares to go through the trouble. Hope you’re happy.
It would take some balls to convict and sentence a President-elect, and of course Trump would have major personal grievances against the Judge, but if justice is blind, he deserves the same punishment as any other New Yorker who would have committed such crimes 34 times.
If blind, he would’ve been sentenced before election.
Also, it would’ve been a faster trial and sentencing.
he’s not in office.
his interference in 2016 helped get him there the first time.
his current status is partly due to that as well.
he deserves a max sentence for the significance of the events occurring in-part as a result of the illegal election interference for which he was convicted.
He’s clearly unrepentant. His behavior during the trial shows that.

Let’s guess: guilty but no penalties
Maybe they could fine him a couple thousand dollars and tell him not to do it again or else.
I doubt Trump would even pay a token fine. The consequences for not paying a fine is that the punishment could escalate, but the punishment can’t escalate so why pay?
That bitch prolly got “paying a fine for felonies” insurance
-
He is not a sitting president yet.
-
He was not a sitting president when the offenses occurred in 2016, either, when he had yet to be elected. Even if the “presidential immunity” ruling could somehow be twisted to apply to this as if it were an official act, he was in no way shape or form president at that time.
He will face no consequences and that’s fucking garbage
-
Does it even matter at this point? Can’t he just throw pardons everywhere as needed once he takes office?
Presidential pardons can only be for federal crimes and he has NY state convictions. That judge has the power to put him in jail for most of his term (subject to appeal)
Sounds good.
President in prison his entire term.
I know it won’t happen, but I would love to see him be dictator “on day one only” while in Riker’s.
What do you think won’t happen? That he’ll go to Rikers, or that he’ll only be a dictator for one day?
The former. Well both. I don’t think it will just be one day.
Convict him, lock him up, and tell Vance “If you leave him there you get to be the president.”
Yeah not much of a consolation prize there… 😐
Ill take it
At least the guy knows how to order donuts for large group
I can already tell ya he’s free to go.
Fuck is there somewhere online I can place a bet on this?
Might as well turn a profit off if this horrible fucking clown show.
Sad day for many of my hopes
