12. Sentenced to do time... moderately high. In what we think of as an actual prison? Low I'd imagine.

It seems highly unlikely Trump will literally end up behind bars. Even a cushier "Club Fed" prison is hard to imagine because of the security logistics.

If he gets house arrest it sure as hell better not be as cushy as remaining at Mar-a-Lago, unless maybe he's limited to using a converted storage room.
