So, is he likely to do any time at all, and how will that impact the election? Will he run the country from a prison cell?

The first U.S. President to run the country from a prison cell. So be it.

He is constantly surrounded by Federal agents. The Secret Service can arrest people. If they do it when he is in the air it is not subject to state jurisdiction.
What if there's another government shutdown?

I’m curious. When someone who has just been convicted by a jury says this “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. It’s a rigged trial, a disgrace.” Calling the judge corrupt, do you think it may influence how he will be given time in prison, etc.? I mean, not only did he plead not guilty, but he’s insulting the system
Well in a sense he's right. While I'm sure the attorneys on both side made every effort to find a "jury of his peers", there are only so many psychopaths who can qualify for jury duty. By force, they probably had to seed the pool with some honest and impartial jurors as well.

For each charge 3 month prison should most likely be sufficient, given his age.
He won't last a week in prison. He may not even last through the first night.

There is a not-insignificant subset of Republicans who, when asked, said a felony conviction would be a bridge too far for them. I don't see Trump getting elected.

Well, we're talking about people like the ones protesting for Trump outside the courtroom.



Yeah, these folks would probably not be considered for jury duty.
