in a former President's safety. Presidents are privy to things that few others know, so it wouldn't do for him to be kidnapped and tortured in order to extract information.

In the case of Trump, though, he's already told what he knows to America's enemies, so how much more damage could he do? Maybe they should take away his protection. Leave him to the winds and the beasts.

but he has a cunning about him that almost makes up for it. He's said before that he's always at war. I wish I remembered the exact quote, but that's the gist of what he said. He has a very honed survival instinct and since he's always at war, everything is a battle for his life. His whole life he has gotten out of so many scrapes. I think there's about a 50/50 chance that he gets out of this. I hope not, but we shall see.
