(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

That’s a really complicated question.

I am not an expert on the topic but I’ve read about it. Typically they don’t “stop” them from doing anything but they have to protect the president.

Trump won’t waive SS protection as then he could go to jail/prison (cited in the article I posted)

I suspect if he tried to flee, the SS would call it in for his protection and he’d be detained.

It’s not like Trump can fly commercial without being recognized. They’d ground his plane from leaving and what country would even take him?

The worst scenario he’s looking at is club med style fed prison. Most likely home arrest.
