Wake me up when he's not living a 1% lifestyle.

Lotta folks really want me to be happy with these wrist slaps for Trump. If you are happy with them, I am happy for you. (sincerely so)

I find this all to be woefully insufficient, and am doubtful sufficient consequences will befall him at any point.

If you want Trump to face more than a fine, then you'll have to wait for him to actually be convicted of a crime. That won't happen until next year at the earliest. And while conviction is the most likely outcome, it's not guaranteed.
