OK, this is going to sound weird...

[WinstonSmith4740]

But I can't shake the feeling he's gonna run. Before the election. He can stay in denial all he wants, but I think he knows deep down inside that he's toast. He won't allow himself to be put in jail, and he's going to lose badly enough that even he will realize he won't be able to get enough people to storm the capital again. Plus the Democrats already have the lawyers in place to deal with his bullshit deniers. His plane has ju-u-ust enough range to get him from New York to Hungary, but he'd be landing on fumes.

I can dream, can't I?

[leftieNanner]

1. I wouldn't be surprised

But who would want him? He's of no use out of the White House.

[thebigidea]

4. Don't be naive. He'd be massively useful to Putin. Millions of Americans would still adore him.

No use out of the White House? Where do people get this stuff?

A former PRESIDENT in Russia would be a huge, huge propaganda win for Putin. He'd be even more under his control and be extremely useful to spread disinformation for years to come.

[leftieNanner]

8. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Good point.

Thanks.

[Think. Again.]

11. Yes, I could see him forming a whole new maga cult in russia that would give putin plenty of needed support.

[stopdiggin]

21. sorry - that would just illustrate for all the world

what a 'tool' the man is - in every sense of the word. 'Followers' (and there probably would be a handful) - would be routinely mocked and derided on all fronts. And the one thing these low functioning toadstools really hate .. ? Is being laughed at!

Bring it on Pootie!

[dweller]

2. He may wait till the election results show he's toast

But then he’ll be whisked away faster than a bin Laden in 2011



✌🏻

[underpants]

3. He knows he lost

Aside from the public front, that was to his soul. Losing any election let alone, as POTUS, has to hurt bit for him it was much deeper. It cut to his most fundamental conditioning.

[elocs]

5. I'll believe that Trump goes to jail when I see it happen. House arrest maybe, but not jail.

He is a first time convicted felon as well as an old man. We may fantasize as much as we like about his going to jail, but reality is a harsh master.

[malaise]

6. Not weird at all

If he doesn’t drop out and disappear or just disappea, he is going to receive the beating he has needed for the last 78 years on Election Day.

[Think. Again.]

7. Can I help in any way?

I'll sneak him to the airport, heck, I'll take his document filled luggage too (after all, garland doesn't seem to think it's worth looking in locked closets for them, you know, locks are hard work!).

[Skittles]

9. he's not going anywhere

he feeds off his pathetic MAGAt cult, he has to be here

[Think. Again.]

14. He hates them, and he can continue to get his digital adoration long distance from anywhere.

[tanyev]

10. Who would take him? Who would go with him?

His only value at this point to the foreign governments he so admires and his enabling sycophants is his potential to become president again. Even if he found a landing spot, he’s not capable of managing setting up a new life in a new country. Melania’s quite happy to be back in NYC. I don’t see any of his kids dropping their lives here to go with him, unless they end up with legal problems, too.

[Wednesdays]

15. No value to anyone?

You honestly believe he's given back all the classified documents?

[tanyev]

19. No, but how many of the documents he took still have current information?

There’s a cost benefit analysis to be done of how awful it would be to put up with him and his demands vs. the value of whatever information he might still have.

[yourout]

28. Probably more than you think as far as military technology.

[Attilatheblond]

34. and methods, assets our INTEL agencies utilize

[Wednesdays]

12. "His plane has ju-u-ust enough range to get him from New York to Hungary..."

He won't need his plane if Saudi Arabia sends theirs. Who's going to stop them?


And he won't bolt until the election returns come in. But then yeah, he may very well try to flee. My money is on one of the countries on the Arabian Peninsula (no extradition treaties with those countries AND plenty of classified documents for him to share, in order to buy his freedom).

[WinstonSmith4740]

27. Hadn't thought about that.

Saudi Arabia makes more sense...I was thinking Hungary because that's as far as his plane will go. But if they send one of theirs, it also eliminates him having to spend money on trying to keep his plane flying and fueled up.

[tinrobot]

13. Probably not before the election, but maybe before sentencing.

[usonian]

16. Lots of us visionaries were laughed at, then our predictions came true. Enjoy the new Halloween/"The maga nominees" song

The Maga Nominees

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're altogether ooky,
The maga nominees.

They've got a proposition
That's not of your volition
THE SPANISH INQUISITION
The maga nominees

[snap twice]
(Addicted)
[snap twice]
(Conflicted)
[snap twice]
(Convicted)

Oh, Donald!

You're gonna need a cohort
To sneak you through an airport
As agents seize your passport
When you decide to flee.

[onetexan]

17. LOL w the secret svc attached to his hip day & night how's he going to run?

can anybody shed light? Seriously, i'm curious how he can pull this off. Maybe Viktor Orban w give him shelter in Hungary.

[RidinWithHarris]

18. Since, even if Trump loses, no jail time is even close to happening, even if sentenced in NY...

...why run when he can falsely claim victory anyway, rake in loads of cash based on that pretense, and hope to rile up a coup?

I don't totally rule out Trump fleeing at some point, but, if so, that would be at least a year or two away.

[stillcool]

20. he owes a lot of money just on paper

he's been getting bailed out but if the merry-go-round stops, he's got to have a plan B,C,D...

[RidinWithHarris]

30. No one wanting money from Trump is going to do anything to scare Trump out of the country...

...before the election. His winning is their best shot at a pay-off.

No government action to get money out of Trump will move faster than continental drift. Look at how many years have gone by without Alex Jones paying a cent to Sandy Hook parents.

[Self Esteem]

22. I don't think he thinks he's toast.

I think Trump believes he has the election locked up. Maybe it's a holdover from when Biden was the nominee and he was leading by a sizable margin in the polls. But regardless, why would he think he's toast? Right now, polls are showing a toss-up and the two previous elections he was in, he overperformed the polls by a pretty decent margin.

[LakeArenal]

26. Interesting thoughts. Makes me interested in your profile.

[Self Esteem]

31. I don't know what that means.

But I think the last time Trump ever thought he was toast was probably in 2016. Since? That surprise win has made him believe he can do anything - and win still.

[LuvLoogie]

23. I don't know. I don't think he'll run.

He then for sure loses all of his properties and freedom. He'll just appeal until he dies, which will probably be at Mar-A-Lago in about 10 years.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

29. Yes.

He is not going anywhere.

[nolabear]

24. Can he take Laura Loomer with him?

It would almost be worth it.

Naaaaaaah…

[LakeArenal]

25. I hope does.

But he’ll appeal appeal appeal for years and millions of dollars.
While 30% of US fights the world for him.

[Cartoonist]

32. Our jets can overtake any plane he's on.

If he doesn't turn around, I am sure they will have orders to fire. He will not be allowed to turn over any secrets.

[WinstonSmith4740]

33. Go ahead.

Threaten me with a good time! Seriously...I'd pay to watch that.

[struggle4progress]

35. "And now, RT is proud to present, live from the Eastern White House

at Sheremetyevo Airport ... Donald Trump!"
