The Guardian view on Donald Trump's conviction: a criminal unfit to stand or serve | Editorial

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

31% : Having wreaked devastation upon US politics, Trump seeks to undermine the rule of law too.
21% : Trump was found to have falsified business records to hide $130,000 of hush money paid to cover up a sex scandal he feared might hinder his run in 2016.
21% : Yet Trump is running for the White House as a convicted criminal.
21% : The three criminal cases Trump still faces - over the alleged mishandling of classified documents and attempts to overturn the 2020 election - are graver by far, but are not expected to be heard before election day.
20% : The New York jury's unanimous verdicts on 34 counts mean that Donald Trump is not only the first sitting or former US president to be prosecuted in a criminal trial, but the first to be convicted.
