My prediction on what he'll do if convicted.

if he faces jail time, he will seek asylum in russia and live in luxury, and pootie will have him continue to wreak havoc on our country from a distance. he will tell everyone that life is better in russia because there are no democrats and liberals trying to destroy the country

He deserves living his life in exile, kissing Putin's ass. Except, if Putin is gone, I bet Trump will be returned to the USA.

Trump owns an airliner. The risk of him turning off his transponder and ADS-B and disappearing is far too great to risk leaving him on the streets long enough to get his affairs in order.

6. "White Bronco on the runway!"

Planes need pilots. Pilot going to throw away American life and citizenship for what in Russia?

Planes need takeoff clearance and fuel.

Park a black Bronco in front of the nose wheel or some such similar position, and the plane isn't going anywhere.

16. Broncos are EXPENSIVE!

Better to just stick a Jersey Barrier in front of the front wheels and another in back.

But seriously…what’s to stop them from saying “We’re going to use this plane to take Ivanka shopping in Rome,” stuffing Donald aboard in the middle of the night, and just flying away?

3. One way or another this guy isn't going to be around a long time, he's old, his mind is going

And the continued stress of these pending felonies and those to come are only going to further shorten his time.

7. Dementia has to be severe. Not able to comprehend, not simply not able to remember

If I understand it, the standard is something like "can the defendant assist in their defence and comprehend what is happening to them?"

That requires a diagnosis of severe and profound dementia. His ego won't play along with pretending that. He has "senior moments" kind of dementia, covfefe dementia, but I don't think anyone says it is on track to profound dementia.

Merely having gaps in long term memory is not a bar. Defendants say "I don't recall" many times.

17. They'd be more likely to take him to Saudi Arabia

He owes too much money to the Russian Mafia to take him to Moscow. There’s too much of a danger the mob will give him cement overshoes and throw him in the Don River.

MAGAts go to Russia and then to Ukraine to die? Is there a downside that I'm missing?
