    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

      I’m not seeing the downside.

        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.
