1) hiring a good defense attorney
2) finding the least accessible spot on Earth with no extradition treaty

Then he ought to figure out why he does drugs every day, shares a bed with a whore, ran out on his wife and kids and acts like he has actually achieved ANYTING in his entire worthless, stunted, over-entitled life.

I was going to say the same thing. We should be happy with a Trump running the NRA. It will go out of business or be shuttered because of criminal activity in no time. The Trump's destroy almost everything they touch. The NRA would be no different.

Have at it.

I admit, I did not see this one coming. It's like the Trump Crime Family is actually out there looking for more losses.

I guess it's time to restock the popcorn silo yet again.
