He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and more importantly, he rallied people for an act of terrorism, namely attacking the parliament.
While I realise it’s more complicated than just a blanket ban for all criminals, in the case of Donald Trump, IMO, it really is that easy.
Edit: He also stole government documents. Another offense added to a list the US judicial system wipes its ass with.
Specifically he engaged in literally the one crime that carries a penalty including being banned from holding office (the whole insurrection thing). And the Supreme Court made up some bullshit that individual states can’t enforce it.
