Oh. It looks like it is just the hush money.
His supporters won't give two shits as everyone already knew this. . . It doesn't feel big enough to me.
Nothing is going to happen.

Is there a prohibition on people who've been convicted, becoming president. Possibly not, as I can imagine that when the rules were written, it was assumed that people standing for office would be of good character

There's a reasonable chance that it may come to nothing, but at least it'll provide some entertainment along the way.

Apparently not. If he'd been impeached, that would have barred him, but a felony conviction wouldn't.
Lyndon LaRouche (it says here) ran a presidential campaign from his prison cell in 1992.

When the world came apart, where were you?
We can but hope that Trump follows suit.

There was some expert on BBC News saying that NBC is reporting there's 30 charges, if that's true, it's a lot more than the Stormy stuff.

There is nothing to stop him from running while the process is underway, in fact his people are quite positive about the prospect as it keeps him in the news, makes him more relevant to the 'now'.
Not sure you can run or be president with an actual conviction on your record though.

I wouldn't be totally surprised it they do all somehow relate to the stormy payment and it's cover up, but it does look more promising. I was under the impression that it was just stormy as that is all anyone is reporting, though the sealed indictment won't be opened for sure until the first hearing.

There's probably some campaign finance-related charges in the mix.
From what's been said about the NY indictment, it doesn't seem like the strongest or most serious of the cases pending against him, if he's going to end up in prison it'll probably be from the upcoming Georgia and federal indictments.

I was wondering to myself last night about the apparent 'frivolity' of the potential charges in this case versus the more serious shit for which there's a ton of evidence... If he's successfully convicted in this one, there's likely to be an avalanche of suits and indictments to follow almost immediately once it's demonstrated that he's run out of road in avoiding criminal charges.this better hold up. otoh, two ADAs quit because they thought the office had a case but wouldn't bring it out of fear.
otoh, Putting aside Trump’s characterization of a “witch hunt,” the hush money case brought against him appears to rest on an untested legal theory.
My big concern is that if this trial fails, will the other pending actions still go ahead? If he avoids conviction, his victory lapping will be completely insufferable and he will be able to point at the other pending actions as definitive proof of there being a witch hunt against him. This may result in supercharging the hardcore tumpy psychos and increase the risk of some really unpleasant stuff happening down the line... It would also definitively indicate to everyone else that this slippery fucker will never face justice for his crimes and will confirm to his base that he is being persecuted and pursued by the deep state and it's paedophile satanist acolytes. It's going to be a bumpy ride....
His hardcore supporters won't give a shit. They'll forgive anything and everything he does. Proper cult mentality right there.

"I am Donald John Trump, father to a crackhead son, husband to a third wife who I cheated on. And I will indulge in self-pitying whinges on my own social media platform to maddened flunkies, in this life and probably the next" doesn't have quite the same ring to it though.
There's a ton of evidence in this case. I've seen a leak suggesting there are further hush-money payments to at least one other woman.
Just because something appears trivial compared to the other possible indictments in the other investigations doesn't mean you get to ignore this.

CNN is reporting 'over 30' charges
Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud, sources tell CNN
A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former President Donald Trump. Follow here for live news updates, analysis and reactions.
Seth L Rosenberg is apparently now representing Trump Org's Weisselberg. He's interesting because he was the Manhatten DA overseeing racketeering cases.
Legal experts think Allen Weisselberg may have just "flipped" on Trump
Weisselberg is no longer being represented by lawyers paid by the Trump Organization in Manhattan DA probe.
www.salon.com
although other articles are saying that Trump swapped out Weisselberg's previous lawyer becaue he was aggressivly putting Weisselberg above Trump
Why the Trump Org Suddenly Fired Its Jailed Money Man Allen Weisselberg's Lawyer
Manhattan prosecutors are trying to pressure the Trump Organization’s jailed finance officer to turn on Donald Trump. The company has suddenly replaced his defense lawyer.

The evidence part of my post was badly worded. I should have said the "tons of highly public evidence" in the other cases (I.e. all the evidence to the j6 committee plus all of his mendacious bullshitting on tv throughout his presidency and particularly after the 2020 election). Because until the indictment is unsealed, all we have to go on regarding the detail is leaks whereas the other stuff he's in the firing line for was done very publicly (or at least has been made very public post-facto).
Your response to my post is a little odd since I was clearly not implying it appeared trivial. I thought my use of the word "apparent" and scare-quoting the word 'frivolity' would have been obviously indicative of that and in no way did I imply that the stuff he's about to be in front of the beak over ought to be ignored either.
Edit to add: "the more serious shit" I was referring to was stuff like the attempted overthrow of the government, coercing favours from a foreign power to smear a political enemy, blatant demands to state officials to fabricate votes in an election. You know, those sorts of things.

In the 2020s maybe - the star was up on drug charges in the 2000s.
Edit: No wait, tell a lie, Devin Ratray (who played the big brother Buzz) was booked for strangling his partner in 2021. So Trump can only claim to be the first Home Alone 2 cast member to be on criminal charges this year.

The arrest next week will be the first time the head of the Trump family has been arrested since Trump's father was arrested after a KKK rally in 1927.
