The #Trump verdict (as I suspected) has only turned him into a martyr and a victim in many eyes... I have seen very disturbing references comparing him to Christ being crucified, and since Trump already has a messiah complex this is only going to feed into it.

I have my own reasons to not like Trump that have nothing to do with the usual Nazi-rapist narrative, I'm not a US citizen, I'm Russian — and I shudder at the thought of what this "stopping the war in days" might mean coming from him.
And yet, I don't get people rejoicing — this conviction has little to do with keeping him out of the office, as far as I understand he can get elected even being in prison.

If that is what they really want, they have to make others not vote for him, but this — making him a martyr, might have the opposite effect.
This doesn't mean the he should be let go on these grounds either. Still — not a good reason to celebrate.
