Imagine getting a Secret Service job and you have to be the first guy to make sure Trump doesn't get shanked in the prison yard.
There's actually a legal question that hasn't been fully resolved : would he keep his secret service protection. Even the secret service has said that it could go either way.
Even if convicted Trump would never end up in anything past Club Fed or house arrest.
Honestly, I just want him deplatformed. I don't care of the cost is letting him live in absolute luxury the rest of his life. He needs to be silenced and at this point justice for his crimes is way less important.
I want him in a cell for life. The goal isn’t just to stop him but also the next guy.
Deplatformed from which platform? When your fanatics are deranged enough to follow you anywhere... They'll be chomping at the bit to hear what he said in his most recent call from prison.
You'd think if the founders imagined a president being so corrupt he would have any services removed, but no the US politics was ratfucked so much Trump was president and gets a soapbox to spouse out more shit than a heard of animals. Maybe the constitution should have some educational amendments added so people can understand what a con man he is. I'm just a neighbor but it's worrying when the largest military in the world gets controlled by someone bothered by people saying he has small hands.
The secret service didn’t exist when the founders wrote the constitution. It was created in 1865 to investigate counterfeiting, and was assigned to Presidential protection in 1901.
There’s actually nothing in the constitution that gives a former president anything at all. That all came from the former presidents act of 1958.
There was no pension or other benefits, or any protection before then.
Now imagine a secret service officer who absolutely is devoted to Trump and would take a bullet for him without even thinking about it.
Shudder.
He wouldn't have to; loyalty with Trump is a one-way street.
Probably wouldn't happen at a Club Fed, though.
Don't forget they're cops.
Cops like Trump, generally. Doubt it's hard to find agents that want to be assigned to Trump.
