40% : In Florida, where Trump has five properties that hold liquor licenses, his conviction appears to violate a moral-character rule.
37% : Other states where Trump sells alcohol have similar records on the books, but it seems unlikely that the former president will face issues in any of them, thanks to a variety of workarounds.
33% : That should be easy for Trump to do in the Sunshine State, whose current governor became a national figure by, in large part, defending Trump.
