Can Donald Trump vote, travel internationally or own a gun after New York felony sentence?

President-elect Donald Trump’s Jan. 10 felony sentencing raised questions on social media about his rights: Can he vote, travel internationally and own a gun??

Yes, likely, and no.?

A Manhattan jury on May 30 found Trump guilty of 34 counts of felony falsifying business records in a scheme to cover up a hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to "unconditional discharge," which carried no penalties such as incarceration, fines or probation, but sealed Trump’s historic fate as a convicted felon poised to be the next U.S. president.?

Trump said in a Jan. 10 Truth Social post that he will "appeal this hoax." Once he is president, he cannot pardon himself for a state conviction.

"The fact is I’m totally innocent," Trump said while appearing virtually at the sentencing. "I did nothing wrong."?

Here’s what the sentencing means for his rights.?

Trump will remain on Florida’s voter rolls.?

State laws determine whether people convicted of felonies lose their voting rights and for how long. People convicted in Florida of most felonies lose their voting rights until they serve their full sentences, according to the Florida Department of State. (Murder and sexual offense felonies make people ineligible to vote unless the State Clemency Board restores their rights.)?

However, Trump was convicted in New York. And according to Florida’s Department of State, "A felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted."

Under New York law, people convicted of felonies keep the right to vote unless they are in prison.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said May 31 on X that Trump had not lost his voting rights.

As Trump awaited sentencing, social media users shared news articles that said Trump can’t travel to about three dozen countries because of his felony conviction, citing rules compiled by World Population Review.?

But many of these rules leave room for exemptions. Lawyers and law professors previously told PolitiFact that Trump likely would be granted entry.?

"As president, he has a right to a diplomatic U.S. passport and other nations can waive any inadmissibility reasons at their discretion based on national diplomatic or security," Evelyn Cruz, Arizona State law professor and director of the university’s Immigration Clinic, said Jan. 10.

International relations experts told us that foreign leaders have reasons to invite Trump to visit their countries.

China’s rules make it difficult for people with criminal records to visit China, said Zhiqun Zhu, Bucknell University U.S.-Asian relations expert and political science and international relations professor. However, "Trump is not an ordinary person," Zhu said, adding, "Chinese leaders are pragmatic and will definitely not apply any immigration or visa laws to Trump."?

Beijing is eager to engage with the Trump administration to see what deals can be made, said Brian Hart, deputy director and fellow for the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Canada, like most countries, allows for a waiver for people who are otherwise inadmissible, said Christopher Sands, director of the Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. He said these waivers are most often used for celebrities with drug and driving-under-the-influence convictions.?

Sands said he expects the issue would be addressed early to ensure Trump’s attendance at the Group of Seven Summit scheduled in June in Alberta.?

Experts on U.S.-Israel relations said they expect that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders will welcome Trump.

"Neither Israel nor any other country that I can think of will seek to prevent President Trump from visiting," said Elliott Abrams, former adviser in former President George W. Bush’s administration. "In Israel, he will be welcomed as the man behind the Abraham Accords and a strong and reliable friend of the Jewish State."

Daniel Kurtzer, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, said, "It is likely, probably a certainty, that Israeli leaders will welcome Trump warmly should he visit Israel."?

Similar travel questions arose when former President George W. Bush ran for president in 2000. One news report said he was granted special permission to enter Canada because he acknowledged a 1976 misdemeanor DUI charge, for which he had pleaded guilty and paid a fine.?

Federal law generally prohibits the possession of firearms by a person convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment of more than one year — typically a felony.

Trump is also barred from owning a gun under state laws in Florida, where he lives, and in New York, where he was convicted, according to Giffords Law Center. News outlets in June reported that the New York Police Department was preparing to revoke Trump’s gun license and that it had been suspended after he was indicted.

People convicted of felonies in New York can have their gun rights restored in some cases. Because Trump’s 34 felony counts were all Class E, meaning they are less severe crimes, he could apply to restore his gun rights.

It’s unclear whether Trump currently owns guns, although he said he did in 2012 and 2016.
