If Trump is found guilty, and was sentenced for all of his crimes to be served consecutively, it adds to over five hundred years, according to Trump himself. That almost never happens, though. The maximum sentence of the three most severe crimes is twenty years/each. Any likely sentence could be a life term, given his age. IANAL though.
