I'm gonna say 33.3% but without access to the relevant Everett branchesWP I'm not sure how to resolve this.

Chances are very weak he'll go to prison. He's the embodiment of White Privilege, the poster boy of the Oligarchs. If the financial elite cannot be incarcerated, their boy can't.
 
I don't want Trump to go to prison, unless the sexual assault or treason charges are true.

I want him to be fined most of his money, the thing he cherishes most.

Not because he hasn't committed the crime(s), but because of who he is. The rich generally don't go to jail and ex-presidents even more so.

For the sake of the country, I hope I'm wrong.
 
There is no chance that the legal system would ever put him in prison. Even if there was a prospect, he would be pardoned.

The only hope is a French style revolution and even then, he would more likely be guillotined.

Yeah.

If an angry crowd wanted to snatch Trump to dish out some extra-judicial punishment, I'd probably turn my gun at the crowd.

I'd rather he face no prison than give some bloodthirsty mob of Trump opponents license to do whatever they wanted.
 
There is one reason why Trump might very well end up in jail: lack of money.

There are indication that the Epstein case is coming up now because he is running out of funds to pay people off with.
All this life, Trump has been able avoid being found guilty by drowning the opposition in lawsuits and then going for a settlement. The moment he can't afford to do so anymore, but is still seen has having something of value, lots of people might come out of the woodwork to take his last shirt.

Interesting supposition. I wonder if there would be some critical mass such that as he became more unpopular would there be a point past which his unpopularity dramatically accelerated his financial demise, i.e. would people not want to live in or play golf at properties associated with the name Trump.

Personally, I’d be surprised if it happened as you suggest.

Neither President Trump nor his nepotistic gang may go to jail, but i’d love to see enough evidence come to light that Don Jr. were frog-marched past cameras before eventually being pardoned. Or Ivanka’s husband, Leaky McSmarmyface.

I have a strong feeling he may be too far gone to be sent to jail when that time comes. Already he seems to be losing his grip. It would be great, of course

Now, if he was to be completely and utterly dishonoured, abandoned by all his friends and allies, and stripped of his fortunes, with the Trump brand name dragged through the mud? I'd be okay with that.

Edit: I wonder what the trumpkins would do. It's as if they can't fathom that there will be a time after Trump, where people will have moved on and they will have to live with shamelessly and blindly supporting and excusing everything he's said and done. I picture their grandkids sitting on their laps asking what they were doing when that terrible Trump guy they've heard about was president. Are they supposed to say, "erm, well, actually, I wore a red cap with a campaign slogan and sat on Internet forums trolling and posting whataboutisms whenever people criticised him"?

The most likely scenario for putting Trump behind bars is that his kids will have him committed to a mental institution the moment they realize that he will gamble away their inheritance.
 
I'm going with zero.

Charging a current or ex-President with anything would be politically very difficult. It would set a precedent and every future Democratic Party President could look forward to criminal charges brought by a compliant GOP state. I don't think charges will even be brought.

Looking at the range of crimes that President Trump has been accused of, most of them fall into the "white collar" category and even if convicted is unlikely to result in jail time.

The sexual assault claims seem to not get any form of traction. Sure Bill Cosby was eventually brought to justice but he was only a popular actor and comedian, not a current or ex-President.
