    Trump is entitled to Secret Service protection for life. This is not only to prevent a former President, but also what’s in his head.

    It’s already been pretty much established that if Trump goes to jail, the Secret Service protects him there as well. How that would work is a logistical nightmare that hasn’t yet been sorted out, and is one of the reasons that judges haven’t jailed him already – its a can of worms that’s going to have to be opened at some point, but nobody wants to be the one to have to open the can.

      Can anybody explain why thats a logistical nightmare. Seems pretty simple to me: he’s in a fucking jail cell in a secure building and the secret service protects him like they do in any other place; except easier because its a secure location.

      Sure, he can’t be in general population. But don’t they have other inmates like that? Just do what they do then (I guess he gets a cell to himself; maybe gets his meals delivered).

      I don’t see why thats more than a minor paperwork glitch. Surely we’ve had inmates before that need to be reasonably protected from other inmates. Heck, I’ll bet gitmo is ready to handle it.

      This is why they’ll give him house arrest at best.

      I’m thinking the Dept. of Corrections will have to build a facility just for Trump. It’ll be like Spandau Prison in Germany, a prison with just one prisoner.

      Maybe they’ll repurpose a wing of a prison to be the Trump wing…
