Trump suggests prison sentence could be a ‘breaking point’ for supporters.
In a recent interview on Fox News, Donald Trump expressed concern that if he were sentenced to prison after his recent conviction, it could be a ‘breaking point’ for his supporters. Trump acknowledged the possibility of facing jail time or home detention at his sentencing on July 11, stating that while he was okay with it, he was unsure if the public would accept it.

Trump’s legal troubles extend beyond this conviction, with three other criminal trials pending, including one related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Stormy Daniels, whose testimony played a crucial role in Trump’s conviction, expressed her belief that Trump should be sentenced to jail and undergo community service. She described the experience of testifying in court as intimidating but expressed relief that her truthfulness had been validated.
