Exile on an stage-set small island in a big guilded house and a golf course with keepers where he can pretend to be President in his own little fantasy with select visitors (and fellow WH Staff inmates) until the KFC finally takes it's toll.
Just tell him it's for his own safety to stay there. And that the crowds back in the states are yuge...

He's in his 70's, it won't be too long. But man, won't it punish his equally traitorous staff to be stuck on a little island with him, for a decade or so...a fate I wouldn't wish on any other human being...

Everyone gets a number, depending on how much in Putin's pockets or how guilty of RICO they are...the lower one is, the better chance of parole one might have. Prisoner #1 gets a parole hearing in 3 years, #2 in 4, #3 in 5 years....

Drumpf, however, will be in for life, with Uday Qusay, and Javanka for the max.

Heck, just stream the exile PPV with repeat "special events" as staff member's machinations and attempts to earn a lower place number - that should pay for the entire set-up a good 20 years out...

Drumpf wouldn't mind - Between the Golf, the Sex Robots, the "Take Out", Faux news and all the other CT infotainment sites will still be broadcast there's enough to keep him occupied - but the rest of his fellow prisoner sycophants would be begging for mercy and threatening suicide before six months is up.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment, indeed.

so that, by the end, it is entirely under a foot or so of water. That would be a living hell, to be constantly wet with salt water.

Or maybe there should be another small island next to his, one with a cellphone on it. He can clearly see from his own island that Twitter is right there, but the waters between the islands are infested with tiger sharks.

Perhaps there could be a single, Hispanic handyman in charge of all repairs on the island, and he gets paid in full up front, no negotiations.

Definitely, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal will dock his (formerly tRump's) yacht at the island and hold massive parties on it with a lot of influential rich people, but tRump will never be invited. As soon as they see him coming, the yacht will slowly back out into open water (infested with tiger sharks, of course).

Ironically Nixon opted out of SS protection and paid for his own private security force. His reasoning was since he was traveling around making money he should pay for his own security detail.

I predict he will stroke out while sitting on the toilet, kind of like Elvis but with a phone in his hand.
