    Given that Trump will never accept responsibility and given the horrible charges, he’d likely get closer to 20 years.

    Even that would be a death sentence for him. To go from being used to luxury for 77 years to federal prison (even minimum security) would be a massive shock. And given his poor diet, I don’t he’d live to be released when he’s 97.

    Of course, the other way Trump differs from any normal person who committed these offenses is that the normal person would be awaiting their trial from behind bars instead of posting on social media and holding rallies.

      Meh, probably not. Most non-violent offenders, even in the federal system, are released on bail (or a similar form of supervised release) prior to trial. No chance of reoffending since he’d not have access to new classified info. No real flight risk ((1) because he’s too much of a narcissist, (2) because he’s easily tracked).

      Luxury? I think by now we’ve all seen his bathroom.

      Put a chandelier in his cell and two scoops in his bowl and the dotard would probably think he is in charge of the joint. He’ll be fine
