That isn't what he was convicted of. The charges brought that could've made this true were related to the 2023 federal indictment consisting of:

four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.

However, on November 25, 2024 Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice.

The felonies he was convicted for were related to the March 2023 state indictment "The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump" which consisted of:

34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

At no point has he been convicted of having:

engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

He was convicted of being a fraudster, con-man, liar and sex pest but not for being an insurrectionist. This isn't a "illegal" problem, it's a classic case of dual tier justice and the consequences thereof. The justice system is beyond fucked, and has been for a long time. Solutions will not be coming from that line of reasoning.
