In Quebec, the billionaire’s guilty verdict is seen as excellent news. However, even if this conclusion was inevitable in the eyes of certain Quebecers, several questions remain unanswered in their minds.

What will his sentence be? What will the reaction of the Republican candidate’s supporters be? What will happen if Donald Trump is re-elected as president of the United States?

Here is what the passers-by interviewed by TVA Nouvelles had to say

“Very good news! We will be able to keep our freedom. Democracy will last.”

“I don’t think it’s going to have a big impact on his supporters.”

“It’s a good decision! He’s a criminal!”

“Now we will see if their electoral system works. Are they going to vote for a criminal? Or will Donald Trump use this to his advantage? He already sent a message saying he was a political prisoner.”

“I think it was time for justice.”
