    Along with what @SerLava said, he also loses his pension and secret service detail. Small time and kind of petty at this point, but I'm a petty person when it comes to bourgeois swine

      Also when his shit gets repossessed he might need the pension lol

      Do you have a source on the secret service bit? I haven't been able to find a definitive source.

      This article says he keeps the SS protection but it doesn't cite its sources: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/if-trump-is-impeached-and-convicted-hell-lose-his-post-presidency-perks/

      This one says its unclear: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/fact-check-tweet-trump-impeachment-run-2024-secret-service/index.html

        Just my dad who knows way too much about this shit but he's been wrong before so maybe I'm spreading lies. The detail part surprised me too

          I'm inclined to agree, based on my reading of the original law and the later amendments.

          However I'm not a lawyer, so I was hoping for a secondary source and couldn't find anything convincing. It looks like the news media is just talking out their ass.

      IMO the biggest thing is he wouldn't be able to run in 2024.
