6. That's where I get confused

So even though the jury found him guilty on all counts back in May he's not officially a convicted felon until the judge signs off on the verdict and imposes his sentence?

Which is odd because even a lot of his supporters accept that he's a convicted felon and couldn't care less.
In fact some decided to vote for him after the guilty verdict because they believed he was being targeted by our weaponized "liberal justice system."

Sounds like even Trump knows being a convicted felon who's case is on appeal while serving as President is embarrassing.
