Highly unlikely. Despite the fact he got convicted on all 30+ felonies, they are all low level offenses. Trump will probably have to pay a huge fine, get probation and maybe do some sort of community service. The goal here was to smear Trump (note: allowing Stormy Daniels to testify in explicit detail about their tryst) and be able to say to voters he's a convicted felon. Mission accomplished, although it remains to be seen just how much that affects his chances in Nov. Also, he'll certainly appeal the verdict.

The real cases in which he could do time is the classified documents case (although Biden should also be up on charges for the same thing) and the Georgie election subversion case, but even those are on shaky ground thanks to various appeals, prosecutorial misconduct, etc.

All said, we are in uncharted territory and the political weaponization of the justice system and the very real possibility of Trump getting a 2nd term is just the tip of the iceberg as this country continues it's downward spiral into banana republic territory and possible civil war.
