Guilty on all counts! Mind you, this was the least important of all of Trump’s trials (the Georgia vote-tampering and Federal insurrection charges are far more important), but the precedent that presidents and ex-presidents are above the law has been completely broken and repudiated. Ex-presidents can be charged, prosecuted, and convicted.
Not that it will matter one whit to Trump’s base of loyal fascist followers. Any real repudiation of the Trump legacy must involve a second defeat in at the polls in November.
