Ex Us presidents and their wives, are currently granted lifetime
security by the Secret Service. Even at this moment, agents are in the
room as George W Bush, tongue thrust between his lips, renders his
latest childish finger painting.
The issue becomes of interest in the case of Donald Trump. Facing
multiple slam/dunk felony charges in state courts (for which he can’t
pardon himself), we are left with a conundrum:
Will Secret Service agents be sent to prison alongside Trump?
Will they be in the next cell, or actual “bunkies” in the same one? In
the absence of a mechanical hoist, Trump can only claim a lower bunk, so
an agent would technically, be “over” him, racked out on the upper mattress.
Presumably when out on the prison yard, Trump will gravitate toward his
base: the white supremacists pumping iron and playing horseshoes. Will
they insist that Trump get a swastika tattooed on his giant bald spot?
Will they force him to hand over the candy bars and Top Ramen from his
commissary purchases, leaving him to wander aimlessly with toilet paper
stuck to his prison issued sandals?
Secret Service agents in prison alongside Trump?
