Well bless his heart. Who's going to tell him?
Uh oh. He called Trump the :"former" president. What a goddamn RINO!
(a RINO whose version of Christianity will never be confused with the work of Mother Teresa)
I'm pretty certain that if God has a "will" in regard to DJT, there is enough power to carry it out without additional intercession.
On the bright side, Graham the Younger doesn't specify what God's will for Trump actually is.
I gotta say … I'd be happy to learn that God's will was to keep DJT as the "former President."

Trump will not be jailed regardless of a conviction in this case because he's had no prior criminal history and that these are the lowest level felony charges in NY. Even if he is sentenced to jail it will be stayed upon appeal which will last long after the November election. The over/under of any possible jail time is one week. And, even a conviction will apparently have little effect on voters.
But, if there's a hung jury it may gin up his supporters to turn out at the polls in greater numbers. (See juror #2, investment banker who follows Truth Social and has been making googly eyes at Trump and JD Vance.)
The reward of a conviction is not worth the price of a hung jury and this case should not have been pursued.
instead they should have sic’d the IRS on his ass.
The way in which he may end up in jailis if: (a) there's a conviction, (b) he's placed on supervised probation, and (c) he fucks up on probation. Recall his dear friend, Leona Helmsley, who did some time in prison, was released early and ordered to start serving the useful public service portion of her sentence, believed that only the "little people" did public service and ordered one of her hotel employees to report in her place, and got busted for doing so and was sent back to prison.
I could easily see his arrogance and contempt spewing out while on probation trigering a revocation proceeding. Besides, the visual of the President of the United States next year having to report to a NY state probation officer will be almost as rewarding as if he is in a state prison.
You are correct that they really should have turned the NY state department of revenue on him instead of going forward with this jerry-rigged theory of criminal culpability. Jurors, most if not all of whom pay their taxes and resent people who do not, would have returned a guilty verdict within an hour of getting the case.
Merchan might opt for a middle ground simply because Trump does not show respect for the case or the court. The judge has already noted that Trump has not respected his orders; even after the gag order violation ruling Trump merely switched to less traceable 3rd party violations. I could see a short (one day or one week) prison sentence to be served immediately, followed by home confinement and/or probation. If the main punishment is probation I don't know that the courts would suspend it pending appeal, either.
Following this morning's liveblog at the Washington Post is like hearing a sportscast about paint drying.
