It was my hubby Tom who brought up that question yesterday morning over breakfast while reading the latest iteration of the non-stop, 24/7 Donald Trump Show.
And though Donald Trump as a subject of conversation has moved beyond tiring - waaaay beyond tiring - still, my mate and I found ourselves pondering what would actually happen to Trump's assigned Secret Service agents if he landed in jail? Would they have to go to jail, too? Or prison, if that's where he ended up? Wouldn't the Secret Service Agents need prison guards to protect them while they protected Donald Trump?
And here's another related quandary: If the police showed up at Mar-a-Lago to arrest Donald Trump and he resisted, would the members of his Secret Service detail have to rush to the ex-President's defense? Would it be their duty to defend him from being handcuffed if he didn't want to be handcuffed? How the heck would they work that out, anyway?
But really, who believes that Donald Trump would ever be put in a jail or prison cell? Who believes that would ever happen to him, even if he were convicted of a hush-money cover-up, Georgia election tampering, unlawful removal and destruction of White House documents, and instigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, all of which criminal offenses he's currently under investigation for?
On the other hand, I can see Trump, if convicted, even of a felony, being allowed to serve his time under house arrest at Mar-a-Lago where could continue to enjoy life in the style he's accustomed to. Or maybe he'd be allowed, in the style of Medellin Cartel drug lord Pablo Escobar, to build his own luxury prison to his own specifications on one of his golf courses, so that even while incarcerated he would never have to miss a tee time.

At least that would be easier on his Secret Service detail.
