Give Trump the Ultimate Punishment for what he has done

And for Trump, the Ultimate Punishment will be assigning him a job as a caretaker on the Fort Leavenworth golf course as he serves his 500-year sentence in USP Leavenworth. He'll have to spend all day, every day, on the links and he won't be able to touch a club for the rest of his life.

A person needs to be punished in a fitting manner.

5. They can be, but not always

Here's the problem: If we execute the bastard, his troubles are over. If we keep him locked up, force him to spend every day on a golf course he'll never play on, and give him newspapers detailing how his business empire is being dismantled piece-by-piece (with front page photos showing the word "Trump" being removed from things like his buildings and the Wollman Rink) he'll live in absolute mental anguish all the days of his life.

The alternative is to have a huge three-day firing squad for the entirety of his administration, and sell it on Pay per View. But a lot of y'all don't like capital punishment...and, so far as I know, the pillory, stocks, bastinado and flogging all run afoul of the Sixth Amendment.

13. what happens? Well in France they brought out the ol' guillotine.

A guillotine is an apparatus designed for efficiently carrying out executions by beheading. The device consists of a tall, upright frame in which a weighted and angled blade is raised to the top and suspended.

17. Death is a cop out

He needs to live long enough to see the name "Trump" taken down from all those buildings and watch the dismantling of his empire. May all the humiliation and pain he has caused, come back to him 1000 fold. All his loyal sycophants will turn on him, his family will disown him, and history will revile him. He needs to live to see it. Death is too easy.

3. If you get a chance, drive by Leavenworth

It looks friggin medieval. As scary as its reputation. If he could spend at least one year there it would be some consolation.

4. He should never step outside his cell but for 10 minutes a day in an adult sized dog kennel.

With a view of nothing but razor wire & floodlights beaming straight down on him.

His food served thru a hole in the door. No human contact since he hates people anyway.

He can talk his big talk to the roaches running across the floor at night.

6. Make it so he only gets to talk to homeless people for the rest of his life.

And work -- yes, something he's never known. All of the Trumps must clean bad things for forty hours per week.

Other than that -- isolation.

7. It will be a beautiful day when he expires at the age of 200 - if his doc's estimate is correct -

Although expired, he will continue to enjoy golden showers from passersby and dogs

10. Serious as a heart attack here.

We need to start talking about firing squad. Treason calls for the most severe penalty. A message has to be delivered or someone will try this again. I am against death sentence in general but this is not normal. Extraordinary measures are required.

Which people (it can't be just Trump) would you stand up against the wall?

If you really want to go down this path, you're going to have to shoot somewhere between 1000 and 5000 people who were most directly responsible for inflicting that man on America. Include media people, the entire RNC front office, and certain high-profile religious types in that group. You also need to arrest any Russian who was in direct contact with the GOP, and PNG the entire Russian diplomatic mission to the United States.

12. I want him to receive two folders a day full of information
Sat Apr 21, 2018, 11:26 PM
Apr 2018

about how his life's work is being undone. No information but negative information. For instance, "Donald Rump is stricken from the record of presidents. The legitimate 45th president is Kamala Harris (D)". Or "Plans underway to demolish tRump Tower. Demolition to be carried out within the month." Furthermore, the TP they provide him with in prison must have his face on it. He must clean the bathrooms every morning at 5am with a toothbrush. Finally, anyone who visits him (even prison guards) must wear a tRump mask so that he only ever sees himself and is forced to blame his own likeness for all "deprivations".

I'll think of more. Just give me a minute.

15. The intimate punishment for Trump

Would be to accurately measure his height and weight and publish them. My best estimate is 6’ 1/2” and 270 lb.
