I'm betting Trump will make a run for it to somewhere like Dubai.

[leftyladyfrommo]

He doesn't have a lot of options. And every day looks worse than the day before.

Just my take.

[CentralMass]

1. I doubt there is anywhere he can hide.

[Emile]

2. The only place that would offer him protection is Russia.

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. I wonder if they would even want him?

His usefulness is pretty much gone. Everybody knows he was just a stooge.

He got conned by people who were just as awful and a lot smarter.

[SayItLoud]

3. Not a chance.

He will delay, delay, DELAY. Appeal, appeal, APPEAL.

He and a lot of others will be long gone and not to Dubai or anywhere on this earth....under it yes, before he's held as not above the law. And he will play the poor me role every day and use it to raise $ from the stupid morons in the cult.

7. Kind of like a Woody Allen movie.

It's all just too weird. And sick and twisted.

Like the Bourne Identity or some spy on spy movie.

[Hugin]

5. Nah. He's setting up to move into an international airport.

No extradition and quick exits, if he can get someone to loan him some gas money.

[Bettie]

6. He won't

He has no reason to believe that he will face any consequences for his actions.

He has been committing crimes more or less out in the open for his entire adult life and never faced consequences for any of it.

He likely thinks he'll have to pay a fine, which he'll never pay anyway and just go along his merry way.

He might be right.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. His face is changing. He's got a desperate wild look lately

[Bettie]

10. I think his donations are going down

and he doesn't like that. He's afraid that someone will usurp his place as the leader of the MAGATs.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. You think it's just the loss of income?

Mar a lago is probably pretty expensive to run. Didn't all of his other businesses fail so he doesn't have anything to fall back on. I think his golf courses lose money. Isn't that all he has left.

[Bettie]

14. I hope he dies destitute, alone, and

in terrible pain.

First person I've ever wished this for, though I'm getting there on McConnell.

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. He s a piece of work. Never in my wildest dreams did

I see someone like Trump coming. I'm not sure he isn't just a cyborg.

[Irish_Dem]

9. I agree Bettie. He has no reason to believe there will be any consequences for his crimes.

He has been on a crime spree his entire life and gotten away with it.
Why would he think now is different?

[Novara]

11. He still thinks he can beat this

Otherwise he wouldn't be intimidating witnesses. He doesn't understand the grave danger he is in. He thinks he can con, intimidate, extort, blackmail, and threaten his way out of this and win the next presidential election.

He won't skip the country until the walls really close in on him and there is absolutely no escape. And I wonder if they'd put him in custody to prevent him from fleeing before that happens.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Is He Taking Rove, Cheney & Shrub With Him?

I remember when all of those guys were going to be leaving the country to avoid jail.

Yeah......Little Donnie will not be going anywhere outside America, unless it's on vacation.

[BannonsLiver]

16. If that is the case

He will be doing it on his 757. It was recently moved from the east coast and flown to Louisiana where it has been fitted with a new engine and a new livery. He’s clearly readying it for something.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. I wondered about that. I thought I saw a picture of

it just yesterday.
