I mean he still kinda is. He walked in, took the mugshot, paid his cash bail, and walked out. He didn’t spend any meaningful time in jail. Only poor people who can’t afford their bail spend time in jail.
Do you genuinely think that an American billionaire ex president with a seething, delusional fan base, and as of august 2023, no prohibition from being elected, is not above the law? He’s not going to be spending time with gangsters and killers. He’s gonna be very protected by the state.
He’s not like Bernie Madoff or Elizabeth Holmes who screwed a ton of rich people. It’s not happening. His underlings could get sentenced though, but Trump will have some special bullshit order and he’ll be free.
