Will this ruling prevent him in any way from taking public office?
That's $87 000 per day that's not being spent on campaign advertising and RNC activities, so it may be effectively stopping him get elected in a sense.
It would be worth more than that to people who want to get him elected, and he probably has friends in russia who are willing to spend much more than that on campaign advertising on his behalf.
No, it's not the one about the 14th amendment. You know this.
Not everyone knows the difference. Or they could be asking if the financial impact could disable him from running.
Fair. I assumed more bad faith than may have actually been present. I've seen so many Trump posts I forgot that some people are living the good life where they aren't seeing multiple lawsuit posts per day...
Also I heard some rumors that a few dozen internet users are from other places than the US and may not have a clue about laws and rules in a foreign country - or may have only heard a few bits and words and are trying to make sense of them.
Other places than the US? Where would they even come from, space? /s
It’s all Ohio.

There are literally dozens of us
That's exactly why I asked.
Nah, it's another one of those "there's no laws about this because we assumed no one would elect an overtly corrupt grifter" type situations.
Nope.
In a well ordered world it should, but apparently he can even run if he's in prison...
Nikki Haley runs instead?
The MAGA people will write in "Trump" no matter what
What are you talking about. This is a due justice process, with a sentencing. I was just curious if such a sentencing would prevent taking public office.
