Who else thinks Trump will wait to long before escaping the USA?

He has probably not even considered pulling all the money quick, and hijacking his own plane. Odd are good he is going to wait, thinking he might be able to milk a bit more before he pulls out the stops and drains all the accounts he can. That would be foolish as the courts are likely to start watching closer and closer.

The smart move would be to take his chance the moment it looks like there is an opportunity. Think about it. He takes off in Florida, and changes the flight plan to Cuba with connections going beyond. The only real trick is how to evade the Secret Service as he does it. Fortunately there is no chance that he reads DU so he will never catch on that he needs to run as soon as he can manage it and not wait.

It is also likely that he is unaware that this, > < really means "Believe me I am telling the truth," on DU, just like it does when Trump says "Believe me."

Cause they love him and they understand what is "Classy" in the same way that Trump does.

If he did leave, he'd have to go to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US (the so-called "shithole" countries) and all his US assets would be frozen. Without his money he wouldn't be living very well at all; he doesn't like foreign countries unless he can live in luxury; he can't speak any foreign languages; he doesn't like food that isn't overdone steak, fries and ketchup. He doesn't think anything will actually happen to him and he isn't going anywhere but Mierda-Lardo.

Reminds me of all the he's-not-showing-up-for the-debate talk. Wishful thinking.

and if he intends to stay out of the US, it won't matter what the courts say about him remaining in country.
