Is Trump going to Prison?

Right, but one of the concerns is that the public perception of unfairness will almost certainly be aggravated should he be removed without conviction. This is doubly so when Trump wasn't physically present at the insurrection. Again, that's in regard to public perception and not jurisprudence.

That Trump was guilty of insurrection was a finding of fact by the court. That's due process, whether Trumpies like it or not.

I agree. Many don't, including folks with far more legal education than I have, because the standard of proof in that case was not beyond a reasonable doubt. That is not only a palpable difference from a criminal finding which will no doubt be a basis for appeals, it is also a rhetorical cudgel that will certainly be wielded with abandon.
