A majority always thought OJ was guilty.

Not being convicted doesn't mean people don't still think you commit the crimes.

not at all

Trump could not even win the popular vote, and needed help from Russia and Comey to "win"

Others, including many minorities, had reasons to be skeptical. Perhaps today a majority think hes guilty because those writing the history just assume OJ had to be guilty and people who didn't live through the trial have been conditioned to believe Simpson definitely did it.

I'm not saying it's out of the realm of possibility that Simpson did indeed commit the crimes, but the authorities never considered alternate theories regarding the case.

Enough with my rant about OJ. There's more evidence against Trump than was ever presented about Simpson.

The probability is around 95%.

"Out of the realm" sounds like it is a small posibilty. It is as sure as Trump is a serial predator.
