What really bugs me is Trump will have lifetime secret service protection

[captain queeg]

I’m sure he’ll charge them double for staying st his properties to protect him.

[YOHABLO]

1. Oh yeah, he'll be very protected once we get him behind bars.

[Beartracks]

2. If he's in jail, that may lighten their workload, not cost taxpayers nearly as much.

Thinking positive. Sounds like that would be a win-win for Americans.

3. Will the secret service go with him

When he escapes to mother Russia?

[blueinredohio]

4. I don't think we have to pay for Russian Secret Service.

5. I think it's only 10 years now

I think it changed after Clinton.

Although, really, for him, how long can "lifetime" be???

[BooScout]

7. Nope...it's back to lifetime protection...

...President Obama reinstated it.

[krispos42]

8. Still, he's dead by 2026

Probably with a hamberder lodged in his throat.

Or small intestine.




Possibly both...

[StarfishSaver]

13. Obama didn't really reinstate it

Congress did, although Obama signed the legislation.

[Claritie Pixie]

6. Not if he's in jail.

[Polybius]

22. Who says?

They may just have to go with him in jail.

9. In jail?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. put him in a little cage and charge a dollar a taunt

It's a good, sound, business solution.

[keithbvadu2]

11. And his offspring?

[HipChick]

18. Nope..only Barron maybe..and he will lose that

once he turns 18...

[IowaGuy]

12. ??

I wonder if there is any statutory requirement as to what specifically is required from an asset and logistical perspective. Could we just get by with just a phone with a direct line to the Secret Service. He could even leave a message if it is after normal business hours and somebody could call back the next normal business day and take his message and relay it to the proper department for their consideration and study by a special committee at their next regularly scheduled meeting.

14. We don't protect traitors

Or we shouldn't. Don't think we've ever crossed this rubicon.

[lunatica]

17. The future sure looks confusing

Trump has destroyed so much. Lots of things we took for granted are now a pile of twisted wreckage. “Business as Usual” doesn’t exist anymore.

[lpbk2713]

15. I know I wouldn't want that job.

I wouldn't want to be responsible for keeping that mofo alive.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Indeed!

It would sorely test my ability to do my job.

[Vinca]

19. Let's hope it doesn't last long.

[Blue_true]

20. Given his true physical condition and how he eats,

"lifetime" is relative for him.

[lame54]

21. Theyll have adjoining cells

[jmowreader]

23. I suspect he'll have lifetime protection, but not from the Secret Service

From what they tell me, the guards at ADX Florence are very good.
