Donald Trump is facing various criminal charges in US federal and state courts (Politico). Trump will be deemed convicted upon either 1) entering a guilty or nolo contendere plea in open court, or 2) being convicted of a crime at trial (for the purposes of this question, when the trier of fact, a jury or a judge, announces a guilty verdict in open court) (Cornell - Trier of Fact, Cornell - Nolo contendere). Any appeals of a conviction or motions for a directed verdict are immaterial.
