Donald Trump lashed out at Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis in a bizarre post on Truth Social.
Wrote Trump: The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me. I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a flight risk Id fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again.
He added: Would I be able to take my very understated airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see. Probably not, Id be much better off flying commercial Im sure nobody would recognize me!

ShazzieB
(22,876 posts)Putin has no use for Trump unless he's potus. None, nada, zero, zip. He may be sweet talking Trump right now, in the hope of him being reelected, but I think he'd be hugely less than thrilled to welcome Trump as a fugitive from justice with no power and no hope of ever regaining any.
Trump is narcissistic enough to think that Putin loves him for his brilliant intellect and sparkling personality, but we all know better than that. Let him fantasize all he wants. If he does head over there, it's not going to end well for him, imo.
PatSeg
(53,542 posts)Life in Putin's Russia would be a very unpleasant place for a man who serves no purpose anymore. At least in the U.S. Trump can still sow chaos, which undoubtedly pleases Putin. Trump would annoy the crap out of Vlad and his buddies.
I have a feeling that Trump might find himself to be very accident prone in Russia. And we know how he doesn't handle stairs too well........

(82,317 posts)He says that she thinks he is a flight risk but he is saying that is ridiculous.
He has a flashy airplane and everyone would know he is flying to Russia.
Saying Russia, Russia, Russia is also mocking the accusations he colluded with Putin.
And he says he can't fly commercial, he is too famous and would be spotted immediately.
Justice matters.
(10,072 posts)And he may "think" about it further if a criminal-trial jury finds him guilty of at least one count.
The last think he wants is a prison sentence where he has no hope of getting a pardon before the end of a minimum stay of 5 years without his damn phone...

(7,964 posts)The idea that "nobody would recognize him" - dude hasn't flown commercial ever and wouldn't know what to do without an entourage picking up his discarded umbrellas and cheeseburger wrappers.
Also that he'd "share a gold dome" with Putin. Once your useful minion quits their job and crashes your pad to sleep on your couch, I sincerely doubt Pooty would have much use for supporting his lifestyle in a dome, much less a gold one... Mr. Trump's bromance with Vlad is likely an arrangement of convenience only and not the mutual admiration society TFG thinks it is.

(67,391 posts)Sentence structure and punctuation don't track with his usual rabid squirrel style of expression.
However, I've referred before to low-level drug arrests in my town that result in the accused being jailed without bond pending trial because they're a flight risk to Detroit.
Why the hell isn't Trump, who hourly violates the terms of his bond, held to that same standard? Or to any standard at all?
Maybe this'll be the time.

(22,876 posts)And not just complete sentences. The sentence structure is much too complex to have been produced by him. I think he's got a ghost writer doing at least some of his Truth Socual posts these days.
A ghost post writer! 👻 😁
PatrickforB
(15,523 posts)well flee the country.
Not sure if it would be better for the election if he did, or if he is imprisoned. Either way, I'd think Dems would crush Republicans all the way down the line - nationally at least. Locally, maybe not so much.

(12,046 posts)No way he could get airborne because his name is on his plane?? Whatever. As satisfying as it would be to see the fucker in jail, he will just continue to deny and attempt to martyr himself. The true believers will continue to say it was political despite all evidence. Fleeing would be at one and the same time an admission of guilt and cowardice... truly the best case scenario for America.

NATO is growing in members, not dissolving so Donald, I hope you have a really good BS explanation for your best buddy Vlad.
I'm sure that Vlad will give you a copy of the pee tape that you can watch as you pass the time away.

(60,429 posts)I think I'd contribute to his one-way fare, as long as his US passport was confiscated prior to his boarding the plane. He'll have to learn to pronounce the name of his pal correctly if he stays. Here's a hint, Donnie boy: in Russian, the name Vladimir does not have the stress on the first syllable.

(60,429 posts)I don't think any amount of phony passports would help him much, except for adding traveling on forged documents to his next indictment.
Although......the thought of having him on tape, trying to imitate a Hispanic accent, and trying to convince someone that he is a native of Panama would be worth a lot of entertainment value.

The Morning Joe cast laughed their collective asses off as Rosenburg said Trump reminds him of that defendant.
