    Trump would get a fine, if he hadn’t violated the judge’s orders and been held in contempt multiple times.

    Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.

    See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.

    They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.

    The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.

      Im not worried about that, they wont let him, as a former president and current candidate, he has a secret service detail until he gives it up. Given the unique situation he is in, I dont think they would let him do that until everything is resolved.
