Would trump fleeing the US do more harm to MAGA than the DOJ indciting/arresting/convicting?

If TraitorTrump were to flee the US, wouldn't that leave the entire trump cult left in the lurch and gut-punched? Their leader would have abandoned them. He would never, of course, run for President again. They'd have no cult leader, except Mr Charisma - moRon DeFacsist.

If trump were indicted and arrested, it would rile up that cult against the DOJ and the Biden admin even more.

Just me thinking. And this unrelated to demanding justice be done against this document-stealing traitor. Just wondering about possibilities.


Personally, I want to see him frog-marched and forced into a court to explain his treasonous behavior. The destruction to his ego and his self would be complete.

It’s satisfying to see him sidelined and leveraged. To date Joe Biden obtained most of what he wanted.

Federalist Bloviator Barr blabbers now acuz he knows who will write the history on this.

4. I doubt he would not last long in the real world. He is protected in America

but in the rest of the world would be just another greedy bastard who would learn to keep his mouth shut or probably would be missing a tongue.

He’s going somewhere that has a 50,000 watt clear channel radio station so he can continue to spew his poison and ask for money.

11. Anyone who's still a trumper after the past two weeks will stick with him till the end,

no matter what he does. He can do no wrong in their eyes, they've proved that as they listen to him say one thing & cheer him on & the a day later he says the opposite & they still cheer him on. It's the most horrifyingly amazing thing I've seen, the sway this guy has on so many people. I still believe that without The Apprentice he would never have been the GOP candidate.

Personally, I'd be happy if he'd just die & the sooner the better.

12. Republicans want Biden's DoJ or someone else to take Trump out

in a way that they can retain his base.
If they do it, his base won't support the GOP and they will lose their ability to attain or retain power.

Trump probably keeps the GOP in line by threatening to start another party - which would wipe the GOP out.

Some of his supporters will still support Trump if he leaves the country. But a bunch won't. How the bunch that won't continue to support breaks in terms of GOP/Dem support will depend on who they see as to blame for his departure.

I think Trump is hurting the GOP some in the polls for the midterms.
If letting Trump hang around for another 60 days until after the midterms is best for the Dems chances in the midterms, I'll all for that.

I continue to doubt that they'll ever get Trump in jail. He'll run.

14. Trump would never "flee the US." Trump abhors foreign countries, foreign food, foreign people.

He would be miserable abroad. I believe it would be worse than prison in the US in Trump's view.
