Preferably something very public and very gross. Just for fun.

And trump has commented before about things making great tv, so he'd be happy about it, right?

Make complying with the gag order and commit no further crimes as a condition of probation, along with a requirement that he do 1000 hours of community service over the first year. Violate probation, and he spends the rest of it behind bars

over 180 years i think but

suspend the sentence on condition that every one of his violent cult "stand down." any violence, probation is vacated and "away he goes."

For 34 felony charges he should do at least a year. (With no special treatment.)

Mob boss wanna-be should get at least as much time as his mob lieutenant wanna-be got. Maybe with a little something added for being unrepentant.

11. "should" or "will" are two different subjects

"Should" be in jail for 4 years.

"Will" equals reality. It will probably be nothing consequential and he will appeal. Appeal could run past November.

If for some reason he wins POTUS, he will have any sentence removed via federal appeals court. (Will state that the office of POTUS will be compromised if he is incarcerated or on probation) He will still have his conviction, he just won't be confined.

That what I want it to be and what it will be aren't the same thing.

He deserves jail time, but I expect him to get probation and fines.

34 days in jail.
34 hours of humbling community service for each count.
House arrest until the community service has been completed.
Fine him to the fullest extent of the law.

I'm thinking it's likely community service. Which TSF will hate even more than imprisonment.
