Former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction will do little to slow his bid for The White House.
On Thursday, the 77-year-old was found guilty of falsifying business records in the lead up to the 2016 general election, marking the first time a US president has ever been criminally convicted.
The guilty verdict won't stop Trump from running for president in the 2024 election, as the US Constitution doesn't prohibit felons from appearing on the ballot.
The Trump campaign appeared to capitalize on the publicity, using it to appeal for donations. On Thursday, the Trump donor website crashed after "so many Americans were moved to donate to President Trump's campaign," a spokesperson wrote on X.
Though Trump is the first US president to be criminally charged, it isn't that unusual when looking at leaders from around the world.
Trump joins a handful of former presidents and prime ministers from across the world who have been convicted, while some have even faced prison sentences.
