When Trump is locked up does he get to keep his secret service detail?

Good question. If the Secret Service is hiring there might be some Epstein guards looking for a gig.

Good Idea!
Suppose that a Droogie should get self hired by our S.S.
Within a few weeks his/her patter through the bars ..could drive The Menace into voluntary seppuku? OK a long-shot, but.. in a post-literate milieu:.. ... we'd at least get an Emmy. And the fan-mail from jillions.

Worse. He's got unlimited franking service
He gets to mail as much as he wants to whoever he wants with no limitation with the exception of it has to be non-political. This means every single commercial venture possible through the mail is free to him.
If he focuses on the commercial mailing industry he could be a trillionaire in a couple of years. He would wipe out all competition. Any product where moving it through the postal system is a substantial portion of the price will be undercut by his competing product. Lots and lots of very small things add up to an incredible amount of money.

Hmm. Maybe there is an upside to DeJoy's machinations after all...
Everyone gets their sorting machines back but Don Trump's mail gets processed according to his own regulations.

Nah
You could give Trump an actual infinite money machine and he'd still fuck it up.
Remember, he did that with the next best thing - a casino in Atlantic City.

If so, they'll be going to Scotland.
Unless Scotland easily extradite criminals. In that case, he'll move to Turkey or Russia before January 20, 2021. That would happen even if he resigns and gets Pence, as president, to pardon all his federal crimes. NY state will go after him.

He's about as welcome in Scotland as a fart in a space suit.
Remember, a good rule of thumb is that everyone over here thinks he's an absolute cunt, an utter travesty of a human being, the king of turds.
Sure, you'll be occasionally wrong, but you'll be right 99% of the time.

Yep, I remember a golf club neighbor flying a Mexican flag. :)
