As much as I admire Lawrence, I don't agree we can't incarcerate Trump [View all]

There are numerous government facilities where Trump could be held and the Secret Service would be able to provide their necessary protection 24/7. I believe in American ingenuity and it’s more a matter of can’t v. won’t.

Trump needs to be behind bars and when there’s a will, there’s a way.
