      I get what you’re saying, but I think without that protection it’s pretty likely he’d be killed in prison.

        They have protective custody for certain inmates that require protection, for example, Epstein.

          I dunno. Epstein was pretty high profile (and it might not have worked out great for him, either), but a former president is really high profile. I have no idea how they would handle it, but if we’re lucky enough to see it, it’ll be quite interesting for sure

          IIRC, probably the Secret Service will enter a memorandum of understanding with the New York Department of Corrections, and negotiate who and what goes where. Probably means Trump will get a wing of Rikers to himself.

          Don’t worry, I have full confidence in the Secret Service’s ability to keep Trump perfectly safe while he’s making license plates!

          Ah that’s probably true. He’s rich and white enough to end up in a resort prison, I’m sure.

        He leaked the country’s biggest secrets when he gave classified documents to foreign adversaries. Stop trying to pretend that’s what you’re actually worried about. You’re always defending Trump. You’re just worried about his well being, not our country.

          I knew this was coming.

          He leaked

          I was more referring to one of the general reasons that the Secret Service stays with ALL presidents forever.

          You’re always defending Trump

          Um, this is literally the first time I have ever commented about the man in my entire life.
