I can't see Trump doing that. He is the hero of his own story and the smartest guy in the room and always thinks he can scam himself to victory.

One president was counted twice, because he served non-consecutive terms. So the true count has been of by one ever since. Pet peeve of mine.

And we all need to laugh right now. Especially if it’s at Donnie’s expense.

In early January Trump will concoct some important high level meeting with Erdogan in Turkey, and then Air Force One will come back without him. He'll resign and let Pence pardon him, and then live out his days in Trump Tower - Istanbul. Pence will get his 15 minutes of fame in the oval office. Then Biden will have Turkey kicked out of NATO.

OK, more of pipe dream than a prediction.

Even if he skips out of the country shortly before the Inauguration next January. He just won't. He's convinced he can pardon himself, and from what I can tell, legal scholars apparently agree.

I'm also not convinced he'll go somewhere with no extradition treaty, because he wouldn't get the constant attention and ego-stroking he so desperately craves if he's in some shit-hole country.
