What do you think trump will do when he is convicted?

I don't mean outside of the courtroom where he will spew the standard mindless dribble aimed at his base that he always does. I mean the moment the verdict is read. Uncharted territory. Might he lash out violently? Threated the judge and jury?

I'm gunna sic my MAGATs on you!

Might even go after his own defense attorneys for not getting him off the hook.

He has zero self control. I could see it happening.

Edit: I'm talking about his initial reaction, in the heat of the moment.

And use them for the basis of an appeal.

So far I could do a better job defending Trump in court and I hate the guy and
do not have a law degree. I could make better logical sounding arguments.
And be nice to the judge.

I don't think it is that the attorney wasn't nice to the judge. Just stupid.

Trump probably couldn't find anyone else to represent him. In the last ten years he was the defense attorney only once in a criminal court.. Someone indicated the second chair attorney was sitting as far as possible away from Trump.

or make a good argument. He sounded foolish.
And was back talking to the judge.

It is like the attorney has given up.

They will allow him to remain free on appeal and he will likely spend the next 2-5 years appealing every aspect of this case, every issue he can think of, all the way to SCOTUS, until he gives Thomas et. al, just enough justification to vacate his conviction.

Anyone that thinks TSF will spend a single minute in jail is delusional. That's just not how justice works for rich people.
