Yeah he's not going to jail. The bastard is just going to keep laughing at us every day. But he's only got maybe 20 years to go. I would be surprised if 10. He's basically 20% rotten McDonald's M double cheeseburger. We might have to deal with princes Vans instead of Maybe one of the other trump princesses. Who knows.
All we should do is wait and feed him Peanuts or pretzels. He's bound to choke in one of those things. Either that or the sodium.
still 20 years! Average USA lifespan for man is 75 year. He should already be dead by now.
Yes money help with living longer, but with his bad health hygiene it should cancel out.
Average mean means middle...half the population is still alive at average age unfortunately. But fortunately the whole age range is non-linear because nobody gets to be 150 years old. More like 1 person in the world might get to be 125 years old if they never smoked, never had even looked at a MacDonalds burger on TV etc.

20? Isn't the orange turd 80 or somewhere close? Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he died of a natural death soonish
The expected lifespan for someone his age is about another 9 years per the SS actuarial data.
He's 78. So in two years he'll be 80 and in Just a teenager he'll be 100. Jimmy Carter is 100. 0.03% of the population in the US make it to 100. The population was recently ~346,098,610. So he could be 1 of 10 million people who becomes 100.
According to stupid Google only 60 people get to be 110. Thus Trump's maximum life is around 20, but that's being generous. 10 is more probable. But hopefully any time now. Like a really bad sneeze while he's having his Coca-Cola in the morning ☺️🌄.

The legal loophole is called maximum sentence.
But no, he was always going to get something like 2 years supervised parole.
supreme court will toss all these out. Though it would be funny.
SCONY or SCOTUS? Unless SCOTUS rules the laws unconstitutional (which I doubt even they'd do), it's not their place.

Oh God, PLEASE, I know by now it won't happen, but I'm begging
A couple of questions (from someone not from US):
-
Can't he just presidential pardon himself?
-
Even if put in jail, can he continue to act as a president? Like, give out orders, hold meetings, etc?
Presidential pardons only apply to federal cases. Not state cases.
Yes. Yes he could act as president
For the first question, there's a distinction between state and federal crimes, things like shoplifting are usually state level crimes, if you do something like counterfeiting or crossing state lines while doing a criminal activity that's often federal. The president can only pardon federal crimes, they can't pardon a state crime (a year or two ago Biden pardoned federal weed offenses but that affected almost nobody because most people jailed for weed are at the state level which he couldn't pardon). Trump's charges in New York are state level and he can't pardon those.
Whether or not Trump can pardon himself for federal offenses (like the case in Florida that's been killed by that Trump-appointed judge) is yet untested (Nixon resigned and was pardoned by his successor to avoid this exact question), and it'd likely go to the Supreme Court... so they'd probably let him pardon himself.
I'm going to pass on the second question because I think he could actually be president from jail but I don't know for sure. I'm not a lawyer, lol. Didn't legal eagle do some videos about this?
He can only pardon federal crimes, and the state of New York obviously can only prosecute state crimes
I think he can operate as president from jail.
