I start wondering if the REAL reason he may so ardently want a trump Tower Moscow is because he wants a luxury hideout in case he gets in legal trouble in the U.S. He probably assumes his good ol’ patron, Vladimir, will shelter him over there if things sour for him here.

I still strongly suspect that when the shit really starts hitting the fan, he’ll try to bug out under cover of darkness, some night maybe in the coming year. If I were running a newsroom in either Washington DC or near Mar-a-Lago, I think I’d be tempted to make plans for a stakeout. Keep an eye open for unscheduled helicopter landings and takeoffs to and from the grounds.

From Mar-a-Lago one could presumably fly to Guantanamo or maybe some Caribbean island, from which one could then fly to South America or Eastern Europe or even Moscow. I suspect there could soon be secret negotiations either involving Jared or Junior (and “Gums”) or Ivanka, or even the donald himself, with one of his new dictator pals, for a safe haven. Turkey? The Philippines? Ecuador (hey, that angle has worked pretty sweetly for Julian Assange), Russia? Slovenia where his latest wife is from? I suspect he’d hit up alternatives to Moscow to hedge his bets in case Putin turns nasty on him.

I can’t help it. My mind always starts wandering over toward a scenario like this.
