So what does this mean for Trump, does he go to jail? Have to pay some money? Can he still run for president?

It depends on the sentencing, which is right before the RNC in a few days. I've heard the usual punishment for this kind of stuff is at most 4 years of prison, but for first time offenders it is usually suspended. So my guess is that it's a big blob of nothing, again.
Then again, imagine being assigned as parole officer to Trump.
I doubt you could put him in prison, he's still technically a former president, where would you put secret service for example? Lots of undefined legal gray area here
House arrest?
I don't think it's the Secret Service or the logistics of the thing that's the problem. They can just join the prison guards and work in their place in Trump's ward. They don't serve Trump, they serve the people. They can be Trump's prison guards as well as his protectors.
The bigger problem is that I don't imagine G7 leaders would be keen to attend a summit at Rikers, or that Trump wouldn't cause a constitutional crisis every single minute deliberately.
I'm googling "Trump rule 34" but can't find anything related to his trial. Can you link some relevant article?
Poggers moment
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted the "SHAM trial" on X. "You don't see this level of corruption in a banana republic", she wrote, directing people to a Trump fundraiser.
I don't know I've seen such a direct example of, " I'm saying this so that you will give us money", as this in a while.
Why are people so happy to be part of a scam? What do they expect their money will do? Is it a metric republicans use to compare to each other? 🤷
I don't get it, like, I get why people support him, they live in a weird media bubble, but that same media bubble insists he's a fantastically successful businessman, why donate to a billionaire even if you do support his cause?
