Trump won't be taken off the ballot. There is no constitutional way for that to possibly happen.
Coincidently, he used his influence to have his son as an leader in the republican national party. He qualification was his last name.

The various states may have a consitutional right to set the criteria for who can run for office in their state based on past criminal convictions. Let's wait and see if that plays out.

Are you still not speculating? (That question need not be answered. I am ignoring you. )

Goodbye.

For those who are interested, this is what the constitution says about being qualified to run for office.
Clause 5 Qualifications
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

The 22nd amendment added the following:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Some people have been arguing that states have the authority to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot. States do not.

Some people have been arguing that States can remove Trump from the ballot due to the following law:
18 U.S. Code § 2383
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.1

This is simply not true. Of all the criminal prosecutions against Trump, none of them involve charges that have anything to do with that statute. Some are arguing that Trump is disqualified anyway even if he is not prosecuted with that particular statute. That is not how the law works in the United States. Accusations are not sufficient to remove Trump from the ballot.

The propaganda media has been prepping the population and a significant portion of the population has been brainwashed into thinking that it is feasible to lawfully remove Trump from the ballot. This is to provide cover just in case a rogue corrupted judge decides to order Trump removed from the ballot. But that will never survive appeal unless the entire criminal justice system completely falls apart. If that happens then we have much bigger problems.

State laws and constitutions affect state level offices only. Federal offices come under federal laws and federal constitution. There is nothing to prevent Trump for running for a federal office.

Main takeaway of article below:
The ruling of a New York judge that President Trump defrauded banks and insurance companies by inflating the value of his real estate assets is based, in at least one prominent case, on Judge Arthur Engoron’s elementary misunderstanding of basic real estate law, according to industry insiders who have spoken with The New York Sun.

Here is the article:

Quotes from the article

The possible error that they are pointing to suggests not just that the valuation Judge Engoron assigned to Mar-a-Lago is wrong, but that he used the wrong metric altogether, one that no real estate maven in the know would use to assess a property’s market value. It suggests that the whole basis of the trial that is beginning today — and is expected to last until nearly the end of the year — is based on a faulty judgment.

One real estate attorney, Rachamim Cohen, tells the Sun: “I would not use, nor have I seen a bank use the County market valuation in obtaining a mortgage.” Mr. Beracha, the professor, agrees, explaining that “the appraisal value is detached from the true value of the property.”

The director of the school of real estate at Florida International University, Eli Beracha, tells the Sun that the metric used by the judge is “not a good way to value the property” and is “not the right approach.”

Mr. Beracha adds that “any real estate professional would say that market value and county appraisal are not the same thing,” and that it is “not the job of the county appraiser to assess value.” If it was, he explains, “we wouldn’t need Zillow.”

County officials, like the ones in Palm Beach County that Judge Engoron cites, merely perform “drive-by appraisals” that are used to assess taxes, not total value.

The president of the Palm Beach Board of Realtors, John Pickett III, tells the Sun that in pricing a property he “very rarely looks at the county appraisal,” and that the county’s estimate is “rarely a component factor” in how much he reckons a property is worth

When the Sun relayed to Ms. Robinson the numbers cited by Judge Engoron, Ms. Robinson replied by email: The numbers “are our office’s determination of value for taxation purposes as of Jan. 1, 2022.” It appears likely that its utility as a benchmark for fraud would have been disputed at trial, and might yet be disputed on appeal.

In September Castro v. Trump was filed with the Supreme Court in order to block Trump from appearing on the election ballots.

News article from September - about case to disqualify Trump
