In the extraordinarily unlikely scenario this Cheeto ever sees a day in prison, it sure as fuck won't be a normal prison. It will be a white collar situation and honestly he would probably be the only person there. Could you imagine the fucking shit storm putting him in gen pop??

Could you imagine the fucking shit storm putting him in gen pop??
He'd be too hard to protect in gen pop. The most realistic way to put Trump in prison is to make the entire SHU into a "presidential suite" for Trump and his security detail. Everything else goes through regular prison security as normal, anything or anyone entering or leaving the SHU goes through SS in addition.
Guantanamo bay was practically designed for this scenario. Just dump his ass there and forget about him.
Why? If he's a convicted criminal, strip his salary and all his benefits, including the secret service.
Other countries have jailed their leaders. If you’re a felon and get jailed as a former President I figure you should lose everything, SS protection, any pension and any benefits are gone too. Why should a jailed president get those things?
I don’t like it any more than you do. But a former president is still a very significant national security concern. Assassination is quite honestly the most minor concern there is for a former president. Extortion, blackmail, sabotage, espionage, all these things (and more) become a viable threat once USSS protection is gone. There’s a reason why we protect our former POTUS.
And this is why Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell. The logistics are completely unprecedented and unworkable. At most he'll get house arrest, and personally, I doubt even that.
That's not the reason why. It would be trivially easy to remove all his privileges if he were convicted of a crime. The reason is because the system is corrupt.
Probably cheaper for the state of New York to just do house arrest with ankle bracelet. How about a halfway house?
i vote that we just kill the president if they get arrested, it solves more than one problem 🤷
Cool, take them all to a black site in one of those shithole countries he rants about. Guantanamo Bay still open?
He will never go to prison
I mean he might be locked up in some way, technically.
But yeah, he'll never go to normal people prison.
The fact that this is where American is at is disgraceful.
This traitor needs the maximum penalty and his supporters need to undergo some sort of education on Russian propoganda.
"I don't think he knows about second education on Russian propaganda, Pippin."
I hope that this happens and every single SS agent assigned to this post quits. Who would take a job to be in jail protecting a farting lunatic? Welcome to the SS Johnson, your entire life will be spent behind bars!
The SS assigned to Trump fight for the job. They love him.
Love to see them spend life in prison being his canasta partner then
ACAB, and the Secret Service is full of cops. They like Trump. That's very clear from their internal memos about the Oath Keepers prior to Jan 6:
If Trump tried to plan a prison break right in front of them, they would probably pretend they heard nothing.
I know they do, but nobody wants to spend their life guarding anyone in prison their whole life, no matter how much they love him, at some point they will want something else lol
Instead of El Chapo it would be El Cheapo
They would be helping him.
