Who is here after the guilty verdict was found!?

[coastuncle]

He will have to pay a 900 dollar fine if convicted.

[bubbercakes]

He should get the same punishment as anyone else.

[janarejcha]

What is he guilty of? None of you can ever answer that question.

[jakesmith]

Anyone who is currently convicted and or in prison SHOULD NOT be allowed to run for any public office, let along serving. WTF!!!!????

[mrjerzheel]

The usual punishment for campaign finance violations is a fine so I dont see Trump getting any jail time for this.

YouTube- why do you keep deleting comments by people who are trying to discuss the merits of the defense? But, not the pro lib comments? Please, we want to understand your position.

Trump having the backbone to stand up and testify... Oh wait... 😂

[jsaiz]

He is going to prison. 10 years per count. Hopefully.

No One is Above the Law.

Trump is a tough man. He will get thru all these BS cases

[chrisknowles]

What a messed up system... A person in prison can still run and become President. If elected he can make the charges go away. Those rules need to be rewritten

[Plantlover]

I hope Trump is found guilty and get the maximum prison sentence.

[leminik]

Shouldn't she be just as guilty for taking hush money?

[MLEPOS]

Absolutely send him to jail!
Rule of law applies equally to everybody!

[구정회-gj]

Republican party must be abandon Donald Trump immediately otherwise Trump is going to be causing so much trouble to the Republican party general elections

[Devilcity]

Nothing, should be treated like every one else. ❤

[whyme]

Amazing how you can't join the military if you have a criminal record, but you can become POTUS.

[SauCeeOne]

*TRUMP for PRISON 2024* ‼ *TRUMP for PRISON 2024*

[Satronaut-pwij]

You can't vote if you're in prison but you can be President lol, America is a basket case.

[AmazinMusicNYC]

He is not facing no time
All these politicians are connected to the government and the private Prison System
