Unconditional discharge. Unscathed except for the stain of “convicted felon” haunting him for the rest of his days. And if he wins an appeal, even that unwanted label might go away. Rarely has such a heel so often ended up smelling like a rose. But who really didn’t think that this would be how things worked out?
I imagine, though, that Trump tries not to spend a lot of time thinking about the distinction Judge Merchan made, which hopefully landed to rattle around in Trump’s unremarkable brain: the difference between and respect or lack thereof for the office and the officeholder.
That burn should be the least Trump has to live with for the rest of his offensive life.
