He'll get a "house arrest" sentence and he'll wear a cuff while playing golf, etc. The secret service guys can deal with that I'm sure.

Any SS guys who get hired to protect Chump should be carefully vetted by the Department of Justice. No more Maga-buddies running his errands for him while they're getting paid a salary from Uncle Sam.
