from here [https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-trump-is-charged-and-arrested-and-he-calls-for-insurrection-what-do-you-think-will-happen/970577/146](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-trump-is-charged-and-arrested-and-he-calls-for-insurrection-what-do-you-think-will-happen/970577/146), this thread will concern appropriate punishment for Trump, if he is found guilty of whatever felonies you think he will be indicted for. Personally, I’d prefer if hyperbole and creative punishments could be avoided, and we stick to realistic and practical punishments in line with actual guidelines, but people will be people, I suppose. The chief issue, it seems to me, will be “house arrest” or “actual jail time,” and if the latter, in what sort of prison, country club or max security, solitary confinement or gen pop, etc. Again, I’ll ask you to reserve your creative fantasies for other threads. Personally, I think he will be punished by some form of house arrest and ineligibility to serve in federal office, with a lot of bitching and whining over the mildness of the sentence. “How do you punish someone by having him stay in a millionaire’s luxury home? I should have such a punishment” etc. There will be three, maybe four, people satisfied with his sentence, total, on both sides of the political spectrum. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/appropriate-punishment-for-trump/970673)._
