The Case for Political Exile for Drumpf

The Case for Political Exile for Donald Trump

The country needs a clean break, Napoleon-style. And, hey, Trump might like his own island realm and an imperial title to go with it.

Fortunately, history offers a solution that could work to everyone’s advantage: political exile. The U.S. Constitution, of course, has no mechanism for imposing such a sentence on a former president, but Trump himself might enjoy following one particular precedent.

Consider the charms of Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands. It is currently uninhabited, so giving it to Trump would not involve having to expel any residents. True, it still has dangerous levels of radioactivity from the 23 nuclear tests conducted there from 1946 to 1958. But for Trump, who boasted that he was a “perfect physical specimen” after he survived his bout with Covid-19, and who has legendary disdain for scientists and their expertise, surely a little radioactive strontium and cesium would not pose a problem. Nor would the threat of rising seas to the low-lying atoll bother someone who thinks of global warming as a hoax. Trump, of course, would find it difficult to resist ruling a place named “Bikini,” and the tropical climate might remind him of Mar-a-Lago.

Hmmm. Bikini Atoll (without Internet) ... far, secluded and radioactive

The only luxury would be knowing he was on an island in the Caribbean. And that's too good for him, but it is big enough to hold all the culprits who need to see years inside a cell. And it would be hard for their flock to follow them.
