Judges/the System is extremely reluctant to put Trump in jail. Say, for 10 days, 30 days for Contempt of Court. Fines of $10,000 to $50,000 will matter little.

Suggestion: Put Trump in jail for 3-4 hours. He will have to undergo all the humiliation of strip searches, jail regs, etc.

4 hrs sounds to the public like acceptably modest, because they do not grasp the full implications. It will also force the SS to get their act together to figure out when to turn their duties over to Federal Marshals and Prison Officers.
