I would be surprised if it actually happened....
There's always the possibility that Trump can't help himself. But absent that, he's in control of whether that happens or not. Does he choose to provoke the judge into sending him to jail for a short time?
On the one hand, it would be a momentous and absolute CIRCUS of a thing - a media event beyond compare. Which he would probably LOVE. Everyone in the world talking about this historic Trump event? He'd eat that up. And it would be a fundraising bonanza, the ultimate moneybomb.
On the other hand....jail? Jail is terrible. He's reported to be very afraid of jail. And images of him in an orange jumpsuit with unkempt hair will offset some of the political benefit.
My money's on him staying out, but I think it's 50/50.
