Does anyone else believe TFG will flee?

[Laffy Kat]

I've said it from the beginning, and I believe it more every day.

[EYESORE 9001]

2. Not yet

When he’s out of options, hell YES he’ll flee the jurisdiction. Cowardly MFer compares himself to Nelson Mandela.

[brooklynite]

3. No.

[hlthe2b]

4. The places that would take him are not the places he'd willingly go.

I'd like not to have to think about him sometime in the near future, but if he were to die or disappear, the MAGA conspiracy theories would go beyond anything we can imagine. And if it were to be the former, they would make a martyr out of him.

[LuckyCharms]

5. I think there is a small chance.

He's weak, and he knows he won't be able to handle confinement.

He's worried about it already, based on how many times he brings it up.

[tanyev]

6. Where?

Allies of democracy won’t want him and he’s useless (and really annoying) living as a fugitive in any of the countries run by the authoritarians he admires.

[MistakenLamb]

7. no

his jet can’t fly to any country without an extradition treaty with the US without refueling, unless he tries to flee to Cuba or something. He loves being in court and playing the victim, fleeing makes you look guilty

[Wednesdays]

18. He could pretend to be visiting his golf courses in Scotland

And then sneak out to Russia or Arabia.

Barring that, a friendly country (to him) could fly in to pick him up (undercover, of course).

Russian Media Wants Moscow to Grant Asylum to Trump Wed Dec 9, 2020,

[DemocratInPa]

8. No.

I’m super worried he may get back into the WH.

[marble falls]

10. He'll be in the news until he dies. He'll never be in office again and that's good.

[MistakenLamb]

21. this is reality not a spy novel

[Mme. Defarge]

9. I have long wondered

if he might fake his own death and end up somewhere with a fake identity. On the other hand, he could never survive living in obscurity.

[DemocratInPa]

12. I thought he never win in 2016.

I never doubt the stupidity of some in this country.

[czarjak]

22. Did not win in 2016.

He was installed by Vlad and Russian collusion.

34. Eternity in obscurity (from another DU forum)

Donald Trump in Hell
Donald Trump died from eating a bag of rancid Big Macs and was shipped straight to Hell.

One of the lower level demons greeted him and told him, "Donald, you've been so bad we can't figure out where to put you. Until we do, you'll have to sit in this room." He is led into a small room kept at a pleasant temperature. There's a chair in there for him to sit. Three times a day he is served palatable food. All he has to do is wait for his final destination.

One hundred years goes by. Trump pounds on the door, and a slightly higher ranking demon answers it. "I'm ready to start making Hell great again. I need to make speeches and rally supporters. Why aren't you letting me out of here?" The demon tells him, "no one as evil as you has ever been sent here. We are still creating an environment that will properly punish you."

Five hundred years goes by. Trump pounds on the door again and a deputy to the Devil Himself answers it. "What's taking so fucking long? When I was a building contractor we got buildings up in days! I have to start doing Make Hell Great Again rallies or Hell will never be great again!" The demon tells him that he will hate what they come up with when they're done with it.

A thousand years went by. Trump pounds on the door and Satan answers it. "What, you think I'm scared of a little heat? I'm not! I fucking bought a house in Florida. Heat ain't shit to me. Let me the fuck out of here so I can go to work." Satan looks at him. "You don't get it, do you?" "Get what?" "This IS your punishment. We could throw you in the Lake of Fire and you'd love it. We could bury you up to your nostrils in rancid pig manure and you'd feel right at home. The only way to repay you for your misdeeds is what we did - take away the only things in the world you loved, which were money and attention. You'll be here forever."
----------------

OR... 'We're working on it. --- Waiting payment.'

[Mme. Defarge]

38. Took the words

right outa my mouth!

[Chainfire]

11. Nope, not I.

[jcgoldie]

13. not a chance

He's never done anything good for the country before, why would he start now? If he left who would pay attention to him every day? That's all he cares about.

[Irish_Dem]

14. If he is sentenced to prison, yes I think he will flee.

[tiredtoo]

15. Yes

He is only concerned about himself. He will do whatever he can to save himself. No idea what country would accept him.

[Mz Pip]

16. No

He’s counting on 1 MAGAt on his juries. He still thinks he can get away with all of it.

[Wednesdays]

17. Not yet.

When it starts looking clear that he will be sentenced to serve hard time, then sure.

My money is on the Arabian Peninsula (SA, UAE, Qatar). Putin has no use for him, and all those aforementioned countries have no extradition treaty with the USA, and have had a cozy relationship with the tRumps (remember Kushner, etc.).

[Laffy Kat]

20. I would guess UAE, too.

[TheRealNorth]

19. Not until after the 2024 election.....

If he or the Republicans lose, and the criminal cases are not looking good for him, then I think its a possibility.

[themaguffin]

23. How would that fat POS evade Secret Service (unless they help him)

[Wounded Bear]

33. Sadly, I think trump has support amonst the SS...

Must be. I was hoping they'd give us a 2d Amendment solution for years.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

24. No.

[onenote]

25. I've seen others here who share that belief. I've seen far more who think its a ridiculous notion.

I'm in that latter group. It's an absurd notion that is at odds with reality.

[LeftInTX]

26. No. Why hasn't he already left?

[FraDon]

27. I still think his best move

is to fake his own assassination. He is free of ALL those pesky black women prosecutors; not one more hour in any court anywhere. He gets to be a permanent victim - martyr if you will; he might even get sainthood; he'll get to lie in state in the shit-smeared rotunda. So many upsides for Trump - and much more time for golf with Jeff and the boys.

[Laffy Kat]

32. Wonder how difficult that would be to pull-off?

Let's face it, he's not very smart.

[FakeNoose]

28. He wouldn't go to a non-English speaking country

He'll never learn another language other than English, and he can barely speak that as it is. He'll never go where there's no golf, and he hates cold weather. Canada, UK (including Scotland), Australia, New Zealand don't want him and won't let him in.

Melania is originally from Slovenia, and she could probably go back if she wanted to. But she'd have to petition for citizenship again because she gave it up when she married Chump. I don't think Melania would ever leave the USA as long as her son and parents are living here. If she left the country then Chump's money would stay behind, so ... no.

If Chump fled the country he'd be leaving his entire family behind. That's another reason why I think he'll never leave.

Short answer: no he won't flee

But he'll do everything in his power to keep his own butt out of prison.

[Laffy Kat]

31. Since when has he cared about his family?

He is a sociopath, only looks after himself. He may have feelings for Ivanka, but they are prurient and certainly not true fatherly affection.

[Sneederbunk]

29. He's crazy, so he could do anything.

[Laffy Kat]

30. Yep. nt

[IcyPeas]

35. No. He doesn't have the guts.

[keithbvadu2]

36. Here's hoping!
