Let’s say Trump was sentenced to prison after his tenure at the Whitehouse is over, would his “lifetime” secret service protection follow him into the big house ? That would be the best realty show ever where Trump is still mouthy and disrespectful to everyone and anytime one of his fellow inmates try to punish him, his body guards hammer them lol ---

Sorry, political commentary like your second sentence is not permitted in GQ. I think you have poisoned the well too much here, so I’m closing this. You may start another thread without commentary, or else a Pit thread, which is what you seem to intend. Colibri General Questions Moderator
