I’m not American and also not a lawyer. Do the types of charges trump was found guilty of have any jail time associated with them. Normally there is a min- max.

    These are rich people crimes.

    Generally only the poor go to prison, unless the rich person committing the crimes has committed them against people far richer than them.

    In terms of Trump’s charges, something like only 10% of people with similar convictions go to jail. So it seems unlikely, but it is possible.
