The rich and powerful generally go to prison for at least some time. The hangup with Trump is the lifetime protection from the secret service. There's no way that the secret service could consent to just watching on video or something, and having armed guards next to other prisoners is even more dangerous.
We need to stop the "lifetime secret service protection" thing. Is completely stupid.
I think the idea is that since the president learns all kinds of classified information while in office, it's in the public's best interest to protect them from foreign agents after they are out of office.
How does that work when they're openly selling said secrets out of a closet in Florida
So we should require retiring presidents to enter the witness protection program?
Yes I'm sure that's exactly what he was trying to say 🙄
Once in a while, though even then generally to minimum security, but house arrest is pretty common for wealthy convicts even without the secret service issue.
