What will Trump do in the end?

[vlyons]

We all know this is coming to a head. In the end there will be indictments, perhaps in several jurisdictions: NY, GA, and Fed.

Perhaps in NY, some of NY assets may get confiscated. But if convicted in GA and on Fed charges, he faces real jail time. So what will he do? Will he hold out for plea deals where he ponies up money? I can't see him allowing himself to be incarcerated.

So what will he do? Will he flea to somewhere the US has no extradition treaty, maybe Russia? Will he pay Putin to let him buy a nice dacha in the country?

1. Croak on the toilet

A stainless steel one with a built-in sink -- not a gold one...

[lame54]

38. We won't know about it...

Because Steven Miller will gut and wear him as a suit to continue the rallies

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Should he be inducted, revoke his Passport and make him wear a tracking device.

He is NOT to be treated special. He is NOT due the respect because he showed no respect for the office he held, nor to the Rule of Law.

He tries to flee to any country with a non extradition treaty, that is PROOF he cares only for himself, and thus will be seen as a TRAITOR for the rest of his miserable life.

[Towlie]

18. That would be funny! I'd love to see him go through Marine Corps training.

 
?

[FSogol]

31. Can we make it the collar-type tracking device like used on Caribou?

[Tickle]

3. he's protected in florida

from GA and NY but not the Fed charges.

He will try and become a martyr . His death or imprisonment which ever comes first the other side will deem him a martyr.

for the record I am being a bit sarcastic and a bit weary

[JohnSJ]

5. I suspect if the DOJ finally decides to indict him, he will be out of the country long before that

happens

[Tickle]

7. he would have to ditch

his protectors and fly alone in cognito and I don't think he is smart enough to do that.

Although I never thought he would get elected either so...

[rso]

6. Trump

In practical terms, he’s not really protected in Florida from other State’s charges, as all States have reciprocal agreements to extradite each other’s fugitives.

[Tickle]

9. right and do you

think for a minute that deathsanctis will allow another state to come and get him? Remember he needs trumps supporters if he's going to run for president in 2024

[vlyons]

11. Given that Trump has been trashing DeSantis

I think he would get extradited to NY and/or GA in a 2 nanoseconds

[Tickle]

12. they need the cooperation

of the state to extradite. The Feds over rule the states

[Me.]

17. That's Just An Assumption/Guesswork On Your Part

For all we know, d'santis could moan and wring his hands in public saying he has to obey the law and extradition treaties while secretly being glad to get rid of him

[Tickle]

20. correct , all guess work by me nt

[PatSeg]

22. Yes, that is how I see it

DeSantis would love to see Trump gone, so he can run for president without opposing Trump. In public he will still pretend to support the former president.

[Tickle]

41. True but

He wants his people. Someone on this board talked about Trump having a 30% loyal base. Deathsanctis needs their vote if he has any chance to be pos

[PatSeg]

42. Yes, it is a delicate balancing act he's attempting

And meanwhile, he has to out-Trump Trump without alienating the base.

[rso]

39. Extradition

Yes, DeSantis could initially balk and express outrage, but he would have no choice but to extradite after some initial objection. Whether it’s NY or Georgia or any other State, the DA that has secured Donnie’s indictment would go into Federal Court to enforce the extradition should DeSantis resist (which he wouldn’t for long if at all), and in fact, DeSantis could then find himself under federal charges for harboring a fugitive.

[Me.]

13. Why Would He Be Protected From NY & Ga. Charges?

[Botany]

4. Can I hope for a "Warden Norton" moment?

The man has killed a million Americans, has admitted to crimes, and is a Russian agent.

[Joinfortmill]

10. My guess is he'll run to Russia if he isn't assassinated first.

[Mr. Ected]

14. He'll stall in the courts and stall and then stall some more

And then he'll die. A martyr to some, a criminal to most.

[PatSeg]

23. I don't see him surviving all of this

Either he'll die or become incapacitated due to a stroke or heart attack. If the latter, ideally he'll be totally conscious but trapped in a body that no longer functions. Hopefully, he won't be able to speak either.

[Mr. Ected]

25. I wish someone would superimpose Trump's face to this - it would be so apt

[link:|

Maybe we can leave him on another planet in a different galaxy when all is said and done.

[PatSeg]

30. Or a cheap apartment in the poor part of town

No friends or family to visit, just a nurse who indifferently feeds and dresses him, waiting for him to die. There will be a TV on most of the time and he can watch the world go on without him, his name rarely mentioned anymore. He has a lot to say, but all he can do is grunt and drool. He's become the type of handicapped person he once made fun of.

[MineralMan]

15. In the end, he will die, as will we all.

Trump will die as a defeated, detested man. That is not a good thing for him.

[Towlie]

21. But he could die without having to answer for his crimes and that's not a good thing for the nation.

 
?

[MineralMan]

24. Well, that's another way to look at it.

Either way, I'll shed no tears.

[dwayneb]

29. Well he will die, that is a given

But defeated? I wouldn't take that to the bank. If he runs in 2024 there is always a chance he could win outright, or if he loses - install himself as leader via a legislative coup.

As far as being detested, maybe true for 30% or so but we can't ever forget that there will always be the 30% that worship him. The damage he did in his lifetime will ripple far into the future. America will be changed forever by Trump, that's a fact.

[milestogo]

16. DIE.

[fightforfreedom]

19. He will follow in the footsteps of OJ.

A convicted broken down old man.

[Poiuyt]

26. I'm not convinced that there will be indictments against Trump or his family

If there are, he'll just appeal, appeal, and appeal some more. He'll delay as much as he can.

[dwayneb]

28. This is dead on

When you have a few billion to buy lawyers and file appeals, you can delay for a long time. Probably for the remainder of Trump's days on earth. Our justice system has always been biased toward those with means. "Liberty and justice for $ome"

[Tree Lady]

37. My hope is that he gets sued

Enough to lose most of his money.

[rso]

40. Trump

You can’t appeal an indictment, all you can do is plead guilty or go to trial. With that said, you can try to delay the trial, but once you’re indicted, the indictment cannot be appealed.

[Poiuyt]

45. Sorry, I should have been more clear

I don't think Trump will be indicted, but if he is, the case will be tried before an impartial jury. I doubt a jury can be seated that won't have a few MAGAts on it.

2- What if a judge is assigned who's like the judge in the Rittenhouse case? That judge could put guidelines in place that would make it really difficult to get a conviction.

3- If he does get convicted, that's when he'll appeal to the end of times. He's got the capabilities to drag this thing out forever. He's done it before, and he'll certainly do it when his neck is on the block.

[Torchlight]

27. He will fade away into obscurity as he becomes more irrelevant.

And by the end of the year, no more rallies or speaking engagements after more and more tickets go unsold. A shadow of who he was, and a name no serious contender will mention.

Just my guess, but paper tigers are often disposed of once their shine fades.

[GoCubsGo]

32. He will flee, probably to the UAE or some other warm, wealthy place.

No doubt one of his big-money donors has a private jet waiting to scurry him out of the country. That's if he doesn't stroke out or suffer some other sort of cardiovascular incident due to all the stress first. From the looks and sound of things, he's already on the verge of one.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

33. TRAITORS make it known rhey are TRAITORS .

Benedict Arnold fled to England to avoid justice, never to return.

TDFG might not be so lucky if his liquid assets are FROZEN all over the world. The DOJ will be alerted to Bank transactions on TDFG's behalf.

Hit him in his pocketbook. His whole image centers around the illusion of MONEY.

[hamsterjill]

34. There may be indictments

But Trump’s way of life isn’t going to change. I don’t think he will ever be held accountable (would love to be wrong, but I just don’t see it). He will smirk at any judicial proceedings just like Bannon and Flynn.

And unless SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE grows the balls to make it be otherwise, he will die the same rich, pompous asshole he’s been all his life.

I don’t see enough strength in the Democrat’s arguments to ever see him convicted of anything. If there is that strength, then let’s move it the fuck along and put the sonofabitch away NOW before he causes any more chaos. I think he will run in 2024 and may very well be back in the White House. Tell me I’m wrong, and I’ll remind you how shocking it was when he got there the first time.

Democrats need to move their asses and get something done!

[scarytomcat]

35. pay a fine

he will not shut up until he dies and after that some people will speak his name and glorify his bull shit

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Ask for a blindfold.

[jmowreader]

43. Fleeing to Russia is not an option

Trump owes A LOT of money to Russians. Knowing how corrupt that nation is, they probably have listings for contract killers in the Yellow Pages. Trump knows if he showed up in Russia he’d be whacked by the end of the week…and they’d kill his family in front of him just for effect.

However, there are lots of places in Montana he could flee to. He’d need employees to run into town for groceries and fast food and he couldn’t ever leave his land.

[LowerManhattanite]

44. He's going to incite violence in several cities...

…to try to make prosecutors back down somehow. To get it in the heads of those in pursuit that “it’s not worth” the carnage/unrest. He will push his army of flying monkeys to lash out in his behalf.

Violence is all he has left.

It was all he had left on 1/6 too.

If you’re a family member of someone involved in bringing him to justice, you will be doxxed and acted upon. Online and via physical confrontation. If you’re a vocal person against him, expect the same.

It’s going to be ugly.
