Whole thing is a scam. Not because of Trump, but because the legal system is a scam in the US. He’s sitting trial for things that happened in the run up to the 2016 election. 8 years of zero consequences.
Assuming he loses, he will appeal. Assuming he loses, he will appeal. Everyone knows that if there was ever an appeal case for supreme court consideration, something involving a former president is a pretty good case. That’s going to be 3 years to a court he’s stacked.
If he’s still alive in 2028 he’ll still be free, 12 years of no consequence other than sitting in a chair sometimes. And that’s it.
Let him appeal if he’s convicted. If he is initially sentenced to prison, he’s not allowed to post bail and will continue to serve. Hopefully it would take a while to get up to SCOTUS, and he can enjoy wearing orange to match the rest of him for at least that long.

His co-conspirator in this crime, Michael Cohen, already got convicted and served his sentence.
