The judge has threatened the former president with possible jail time, something Trump and his supporters think may bolster his campaign.

    In most jails, “protective custody” for endangered prisoners like ex-cops and child molesters is 23 hours a day solitary confinement with one hour of exercise in a segregated area. Three days of that would crack Trump like an egg.

        I was going to be pedantic and explain that ‘exercise’ just means time out of the cell in an open yard, but heroically restrained myself.

            Remember the first G-8 conference Trump went to, where the rest of the leaders took a nice little stroll and Donnie needed a mobility cart?

            I was getting into it with a MAGoo and was told that Trump not walking was a power move that impressed all the other leaders.

            His people are nuts.

      Reminds me of when Bannon said: ‘They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV’

      Anyway, I think you’re right, Trump Sr. would absolutely lose it in solitary.
