No air conditioning in Summer, poor heat in Winter.

Only transportation by foot or the cheapest public transportation (bus and subway).

Placed where is a minority race.

Crackheads neighbors regularly hassle him and rip him off.

No hope for change.

I think they would all commit suicide before ever getting a regular Joe type job, so everything would work out just fine.

All of them. Community service of the most menial sort, if not prison time.

And prison time for those non-family who covered and obstructed.

That would be my wish for the lot of them. After conviction, of course. Or maybe not.

...the Donald J. Trump State Park, just off the Taconic Parkway in Yorktown, NY. It's a patch of weeds that he bought for $10 million, hoping to build a golf course. Yorktown denied him a permit, and he gave it to NY State, taking a $100 million tax write-off. The neglected site should be surrounded with a big, beautiful wall, and he and his family should be released onto the property with just one Porta-Potty and a Weber kettle.

This being the U.S. of A., we need to do things legally and properly.

So I would send him to the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, KS, which has housed a couple of spies, a few fraudsters and corrupt officials, and several political prisoners. Life sentence with no possibility of parole. I'd love to send him to the United States Disciplinary Barracks (close by), but he was never in the Army.

Oh, and Melanoma would visit every few weeks, accompanied by her paramour, the 20-year-old Puerto Rican handyman at Mar-a-Lago, just to let Donald know how she was spending his money. (God forgive me.)

3) Nobody returns his calls.

4) His children lose their wealth and property as it's all connected to his.

5) FOX won't let him on any show.

6) Melania divorces him and finds love with a European billionaire.

My favorite fate-of-Trump fantasy has him dead broke and living alone in a run-down double-wide in a seedy trailer park somewhere in, say, Nebraska, where it gets very hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and is susceptible to tornadoes. He spends his days sitting on the steps of his humble home drinking diet Pepsi, eating KFC and railing about the injustices done to him. He has become dangerously obese; his old clothes no longer fit so most of the time he wears XXX-L sweat pants and a stained wife-beater undershirt adorned with a six-foot-long red polyester necktie. Because he is no longer able to manage his hairdo, his fringe of stringy, now-gray hair hangs almost to his shoulders, revealing his shiny, blotchy scalp. His neck wattles obscure his actual neck almost entirely.

He is living off proceeds from the sale of some items of personal property that Melania missed when she cleaned out the New York apartment and took off for Slovenia; these included several sets of monogrammed gold cufflinks and a roomful of dictator-Baroque gilded chairs. He kept the throniest-looking chair to sit in at night while he watches Fox News on a small, very old tv with a coat hanger for an antenna, hoping Sean Hannity will mention him. He never does. Don Jr. sometimes writes to him from prison but the rest of his family is in Brazil, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., and he hasn't heard from them in months.

He wonders what he will do when he has sold the last set of cufflinks. The pawn shop owner is not very generous, and the only collectors who might be interested are those unemployed neckbeards who live in their parents' basements and collect knockoff Nazi memorabilia.

Sometimes he waddles over to the neighbors' trash bins and pokes around in them with a stick, never with his little hands, hoping to find a copy of the New York Times or the Washington Post that might have an article about him. He wonders if Maggie Haberman still writes about him. Since his neighbors do not subscribe to these newspapers, he is able to imagine that his name still appears in them from time to time. Sometimes he finds uneaten French fries in the bins, which is a nice bonus when it happens, but most of the time the neighbors chase him away.

The worst thing of all is that Vladimir Putin no longer takes his calls.

which will be converted to low-cost housing where families who have applied for asylum may live until their hearing dates. Each 'luxury' apartment could be converted into multiple dwellings. tRump's own triplex could be subdivided into approximately 10 apartments of about 1,000 square feet. Residents get first chance at jobs within the building.

All other tRump properties are to be developed in a similar manner (using the assets seized from him, of course) - you could easily build very adequate housing for a LOT of people on the massive amount of land currently taken up by his golf courses and clubhouses!

the best way to hurt a rich guy is to make them poor. So, confiscate his and his family's and associates' entire assets. As much as I'd love to see them all stripped naked and dropped off in the middle of the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago, preferably in the middle of winter, that's not enough. Give them all some cheap Walmart clothing, and send them to Puerto Rico and put them to work rebuilding. Give them the worst jobs available, and make them live in tents. If they get sick, tough shit. Let 'em go find a free clinic. Definitely make them go on TV to apologize to Hillary first, though. I'd love it if they were made to beg and grovel and kiss her feet, too. Bu, I'm sure Hillary is above those sorts of theatrics.
