Two common takes:

1. He'll get some time, based on his behavior during the trial

2. He'll get no time, he's rich and famous

I'd like to add a 3rd rationale:

The political existence of Donald Trump is a failure of NY justice

He's flouted the laws of NY for so long, and a lot of NYers really resent him for that

They also feel some penance is due: they should have put Trump away a long time ago, and saved the world this grief

So maybe what's coming is: "enough"

And prison it is
