Salon: What will happen on Jan. 20 if President Donald Trump refuses to leave the White House? One former senior Secret Service official tells The Daily Beast’s Marc Ambinder that Secret Service agents may have to recruit family members such as first daughter Ivanka Trump to tell her father to vacate the White House.
“I’d have a conversation with the chief of staff, and then the family, Ivanka and the other kids and say, ‘It’s going to be your job to make sure he’s gone,'” the former official said.
Another possibility, this former official said, was to simply lock the president’s staff out of the White House on Jan. 19.
“When the staff leaves on January 19, don’t let them back into the complex the next day,” they said. “He can’t do anything without his staff.”
Another former Secret Service agent told Ambinder that Trump will simply not be president after noon on Jan. 20, which means that “by law he would be a trespasser,” and “we’d have to escort him out.”

“He can’t do anything without his staff.”
Maybe could have a better way, secret service could be bring out of White House all diapers packs, he can’t do anything without a diaper
Perhaps the State of New York can issue an arrest warrant and request the District of Columbia to hold citizen Trump for extradition. The Donald will depart DC to visit his pal Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. Net gain for everyone except poor Brazil.
Agree. This is a scenario that is very unlikely.
