Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — or a “bad” one? Would he have Secret Service protection? And what would they make him wear? Those are some of the questions Donald Trump is asking hi…
The realistic conclusion to that would be Trump spilling Top Secret info to North Korea. If not willingly, then via torture. But let’s be honest: It would probably be willingly.
Lol absolutely. Can you imagine Trump trying to recite government intel from memory?
“So the document said bigly assets were all all over the country. My uncle, college professor in the nuclear — Hillary! Can you believe that, folks? Hillary. Johnathan Trump, went to MIT did the thing, this and that. Tremendous, it was tremendous this government secrets I am telling you now.”
Real question. What information could he provide that would be of real value? Inside policy but I suspect if the policy makers knew he was spilling the beans, they would adjust as needed.
Technical information? I doubt he barely knows how to use a smart phone much less give details on a f35.
I would be curious what the intelligence community would consider high risk if a past president flipped.
This actually highlights one of the problems (as a strategy, ignoring humanitarian concerns) with torture- whether or not someone will break has nothing to do with whether they have real, useful information. Once they break, they will say whatever they think their captors want to hear.
The primary (strategic) alternative is to befriend them; convince them you’re on their side. A tactic that has been shown to be extremely effective on Trump. He’ll gladly spill whatever he thinks he knows as soon as they say something nice about him.
Probably.
But, like. just hear me out. They’d hate each other’s guts. It’d be like Grumpy Old Man, except they’re not fighting over a woman, and they were never actually friends.
Yeah, good point. I’m guessing Trump would be the sober one so he’d probably be a little more subtle about… no, this is an unsolved problem. I think we need to get them together and see what happens.
“Guys, what would really impress your long dead fathers and finally make them love you is if you both bare knuckle boxed, but in a bear pit. You can take the bear on together first or let the winner do it. That would be so cool.”
I was solidly in that boat for a while too, but seeing how many of his co-conspirators are tripping over themselves to testify against him lately gives me hope.
That’s the problem with surrounding yourself with shady people who only have their own interests in mind. They’re not loyal to him, he only kept them around because they told him what he wanted to hear, and they only told him what he wanted to hear because it helped them advance their own personal interests.
Many of us fret he won’t.
I’d be okay with him going into exile in North Korea.
yeah. let him torture Kim for a while.

Honestly, I don’t think he has the awareness or attention span to be an accurate mole if he’s limited to working from memory.

And as he’s saying it, his voice just keeps getting softer, like he’s telling you a bedtime story.

He’d probably remember half the secrets incorrectly and get North Korea to blow itself up.
The best ending.
He’s such a narcissist all they would have to do is stroke his ego

Good point. We should maybe abduct both of them, and turn it into a reality tv show. Like The Truman Show. but real.
Nope, he would absolutely thrive on something like that; anything less than consignment to the dustbin of obscurity is too good for him.
He absolutely wouldn’t thrive on being forgotten by everyone except his jailers.
He feeds off the attention.
Am I missing something? You suggested he and Kim should be documented 24/7 à la The Truman Show
Well. maybe not… 24…7… nobody wants to see, uh, most… of that…
I think Guantanamo would be more appropriate.
Probably. But, like. just hear me out. They’d hate each other’s guts. It’d be like Grumpy Old Man, except they’re not fighting over a woman, and they were never actually friends.
And their narcissistic pride would force them to appear in public broing it up on the golf course.
i wonder which one cheats more…
“-4. Huh.” – North Korean caddy

Borris Johnson gets to be the caddy.
