Trump Floats Plan to Flee to Russia

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 – I’d 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, I’d be much better off flying commercial – I’m sure nobody would recognize me!”

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.

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........

Saying Russia, Russia, Russia is also mocking the accusations he colluded with Putin.

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.

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.

Do not eat the polonium soup. I hope that your good buddy Vlad isn't still mad at you for giving him that inside information that President Biden is weak, that President Biden will not be able to keep NATO united, that President Biden will not be able to supply arms to Ukraine.

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.

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.

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.

He would be used for that purpose until not needed, then dropped out a window.

Tue Aug 22, 2023, 09:57 PM
Aug 2023

hearing. Rosenburg was arguing that the defendant was a flight risk and ought to be held. The federal judge argued back that the real problem with that defendant wasn't that he was a flight risk, but that he was a risk of nonflight, that he just wouldn't go away.

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

about Russia.

Does that have to do with bullion deposited by Putin in a secret Trump account, or does it have to do with urinating Slavic sex workers?

They would work out a deal where he gets a private residence on a controlled compound. It's not what he deserves but he is a member of our society's privileged class.
