I’m not saying that it’s likely or that it would have any effects.
I’m gonna mostly copy paste my answer from another question I answered:
What will happen is the judge would give a slap on the wrist sentence like a fine and call it a day.
Because the alternative is the judge giving a prison sentence and then the president goes “The NY Courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it” essentially creating a State vs Federal government political crisis.
Spoilers, the Federal government wins.
What if NY gonna do, send agents to somehow get past the SS to arrest the president?
If that was even attempted, the president would invoke insurrection act and arrest the governor/judge/ whoever gave the order for the arrest and flip the narrative, claiming the state officials are attempting a coup.
Edit: Also, giving him a prison sentence before he takes office wouldn’t do anything either. Even if the Biden-led SS cooperates, on Jan 20 at noon he is president and the military is getting him out, he’d the order the arrest of NY state officials.
Yes, he can.
But he won’t be, or he’ll be given a suspended sentence that will never be supervised.
No, turnip will never face a consequence. Never.
I’m not religious but I am starting to wonder.
Basically they had 4 years to get it done but acted far too slowly and now there’s not enough time before he’s a sitting president they won’t prosecute.
No, they’re asking about the case that did go through where he was found guilty of 34 felony convictions. The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump
He was supposed to be sentenced in September. Trump’s defense asked to delay. Prosecution didn’t object. Judge didn’t want to stick his neck on the line and accepted the delay.
I have no idea what will happen now but probably nothing meaningful anymore. It should have happened in September. I don’t know why the prosecution didn’t fight the delay, but understand why the judge did what he did.
But yeah, I completely agree with your sentiment. The momentum into nailing Trump down on crimes happened way, way, *way *too slow.
Theoretically, yes he can. Under US law (if the justice system was working correctly at all), no individual is above the law.
However, it is very unlikely. Trump is stupidly popular amongst people willing to overturn the establishment to let him do whatever he wants. Not to mention that he has a favourable supreme court that can just choose not to prosecute him.
It’s all going away. There will be no punishment. We’re done here.
To be clear, none of that is a good thing.
No.
It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
Laws only apply to poor people.
lol no
Odd. The question fits here, but it isn’t a stupid question, its relevance is astonishingly stupid.
He should be sentenced if he is a sitting president. Eric Adams didn’t get a free pass for being in office and neither should the president because the president isn’t a fucking king.
He won’t be due to how shit our system is, or he would have been sentenced months ago like a normal person.
You better watch your mouth or he’ll send Seal Team 6 to delete your ass. It’ll be an official act so it won’t be illegal for him to do so.

Bro I hate to break this to you. He is their King.
He can be, but they won’t.
no
As a first time offender, he may not be getting a jail sentence regardless. Even if he did, though, he could just file an appeal and in the time it would take to hear it, he would be President and whatever sentence would be immediately put on hold l.
He’s not getting sentenced. Period. He never was. All of these delays have been powerful people kicking the can down the curb, waiting for a way to make the whole thing go away. They don’t want politicians and billionaires being held accountable, or then they too may one day be held accountable.
Oh no, of course he can’t. There’s decorum and precedent to consider! Best to give him free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants without fear of consequence or repercussion.
Wouldn’t want to upset our dear ruler now would we?
Nor do those with similar positions as him want to establish precedent that they can be held accountable, which is the root reason why it took 4 years to accomplish exactly nothing.
