One of the original predictions that might be entertaining(?) to see would be the US having its first President "run" the country from prison... And the follow-up situation to witness, how different would that look, in the end?

For those who think rather than just react, I guess it would not be as entertaining...?

No chance he gets a prison sentence for the NY case. He will get a suspended sentence or some other slap on the wrist. The Federal cases are dead. There is no chance they can continue while he is in office and they will be killed by the time he leaves.

Trying to overturn the 2020 election turned out to be a great move because the Dem institutionalists were too sclerotic to prosecute the case aggressively and wasted massive amounts of time and resources on going after proles while letting the architects of the plot get off more or less scot-free.

It will be overturned on appeal

Is our current president even "running" the country?
