That's only if he gets away with probation. Due to him talking with felons all day every day and the fact that he's publicly shown ALL of the contempt (in both the colloquial and legal sense of the word) of the court and continues to do so, that's unlikely in spite of the kid gloves he's being treated with.
My guess is he gets community service and I hope it involves picking up thrash while wearing a jumpsuit that matches his skin.
I can't wait for Fox News. "PRESIDENT TRUMP is picking up trash! He has to bend down and PICK UP TRASH! He is being treated more unfairly than ANY AMERICAN has EVER BEEN TREATED in the HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY!"
I hate to burst your bubble, but Trump's not going to be picking up trash. He will either get house arrest, or community service. Community service will likely consist of recording public service announcements. This is how celebrities are typically treated.
His security is actually a valid concern for the court, which must be considered. It's impossible to guarantee his security while picking up trash on the side of the highway - since anyone could stop and shoot. Likewise, it is impossible to guarantee his security in prison without solitary confinement.
Of course, it is possible that one day he may get to run his own prison like Pablo Escobar, but I think house arrest is more likely. He'll love it. Sitting on his ass in Mar a Lago, doing virtual campaign events, watching the news and shitposting all day.
Solidarity confinement sounds good.
No access to a mobile phone or another person forced to listen to him moan, would drive him absolutely bonkers.
