. Give North Carolina a patriotic one-finger salute, drive the GOP National Convention down the east coast of Florida, take a left at Trumps Mar-a-Lago beach resort and keep going about 10 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. There you will find several Carnival cruise ships tied together with Freedom Rope, ready to host thousands of eager Republicans.
Those of you who lack foresight are probably asking, Why would the GOP want to hold its convention on conjoined cruise ships off the coast of Florida during peak hurricane season rather than just working with North Carolina health officials to provide a safe, scientifically sound event?

Trump can just stay on board of the ship. Sail in international waters. Stay beyond the 24 mile limit and beyond jurisdiction and the law. That's the way he will avoid jail.

With any luck they wont even be able to find their way back. Even more luck a hurricane barrels through and the ships do what ships do in dire circumstances.
Winning for everyone. Who could possibly complain?
