Five years in jail sounds pretty serious. Sometimes murderers serve less time that.

Ruling on Trump is a win/win for the Trump campaign!

1. On the one hand you can expect his poll numbers to go up.

2. On the other hand if this ruling stands after appeal he will be able to transfer a property worth $1 billion to his son and be able to claim it is only worth $18 million.
