      I’ve said this before but the obvious solution is to reopen Guantanamo and just leave him there.

      He’ll have to fend off the seagulls himself.

          My favorite option is have the government take over Mar-A-Lago. Trump stays in one room - which gets stripped to just the bare walls with a prison cot tossed in. Nobody else - except for Secret Service or support staff like janitors and cooks - are allowed in.

          At mealtime, he’s marched down the bare glass hallways to the empty dining area where he’s served standard prison food. Then he’s marched right back to his room. Let him rot as a shell of a man in the shell of the complex he loved so much.

          No way am I going to let him ruin Alcatraz. That was the best audio tour I ever had and I don’t want to have to hear him yelling bullshit over the headphones. They aren’t noise-cancelling.

          Seriously though, I highly recommend it if you’re in San Francisco. You go through the building hearing testimonies from former prisoners and guards all while the sounds of the prison’s various areas, whichever one you happen to be in, play in the background while you walk through it. It’s amazingly immersive.

        That old man in no way has the strength, or endurance, to file through steel bars even if we gave him a Dremel. Ain’t no rasp going to help him.

      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.

        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…

      Let’s just build him a tiny house in Northern Alaska that has no running water. He and his loyalist SS men who deleted all the texts can be stationed out there until he dies of old age 4 months later

      I assume the most reasonable solution would be house arrest. It would be nice to see him in a jail cell, but that seems impossible.
