The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
It would be cruel and unfair to send an elderly man who's convicted of a white-collar crime to prison, but it won't be surprising if the district attorney seeks and receives jail time. After all, Bragg pressed this politically motivated case, and he will be under political pressure to seek the most severe punishment as part of this multi-pronged witch hunt the Democrats are conducting against Trump.
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump has been unrepentant and has threatened the judge, yet the New York court is allowing him to conduct this interview remotely alongside his lawyer. Trump is being treated more fairly than most convicted felons, and whatever sentence he gets will be appropriate for his crimes — without political considerations.
