Can’t he just attempt to flee earlier, as in “right now”? As a convicted felon trying to flee the country, this would hopefully be counted as bad enough to invalidate his bail and finally put him where he belongs - behind bars.
That makes him smart. For a change.
No. Don’t go. Please.
Anyway.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya
So he wants to flee to the country currently governed by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, in alliance with the Communist Party of Venezuela?
Putin puppet state. It would be relatively safe for him lol
Wait Venezuela is a Putin puppet state? Could you give me something to read more about this?
Idk that gives Putin too much credit. You could make a case with China. Still Venezuela is reasonably stable on its own.
They just had their dictator steal an election in full view. Inflation is totally out of control and pretty much all the young people have left or are planning to leave.

Further, there’s been reports in intelligence communities about Wagner forces helping Maduro subvert elections
Thanks! I can now see why you say that
The words “puppet state” get thrown around far too often.
Countries can be aligned without one of them needing to be fully subservient to the other. Frankly, Russia probably isn’t strong enough to really have Venezuela as some sort of puppet. It isn’t the USSR in charge of the Warsaw Pact anymore. They can’t even keep Georgia fully in their orbit anymore, and it’s on their border.
edit: Now Assad in Syria, that’s an actual puppet.

…I can’t even say that sarcastically without throwing up in my mouth a little.
That’s the first time I’ve looked for a laughing reaction button instead of an upvote on Voyager (Lemmy client.) Good one :)
Just remove the period after don’t
Or as the officials like to call it…Flight to Avoid Prosecution
So do you think he’ll go to Russia or Saudi Arabia?
Surprise 3rd option, Egypt. Safe bet is Russia though, he has a long standing relationship there and the MAGAts haven’t realized yet that the moment they aren’t useful to Putler anymore they’ll be tossed in a gulag.
Egypt! I’d love that for him! Because chances are high he’ll be abducted by ISIS who will slowly starve him to death and release the progress on video. If that happens I’ll have to stock up on viagra
N Korea. Don’t you remember all those lovely letters between him and Kim? If he goes to Russia he has to live in Putin’s shadow, but in N Korea he can have his bromance and live like a king.
Until he gets on Kim’s nerves anyway.
He said Venezuela.
And guess what role model also said they planned to flee to Venezuela if they lost the war with Ukraine, Putin. The fun part was that he had to still attack Venezuela as it’s part of his fake immigration story, but it would magically be better than the US by the time he lost.
Shocked he’s not going to Argentina with the rest of his kin
Why SA?
Maybe he has a certain very specific set of documents hoarded? Documents that have red lettering on the front cover that may spell the words “TOP SECRET”? Perhaps those will serve as a form of protection and leverage?
Maybe the $2B that the Saudis invested with Kushner has something to do with it
They have a glowing orb.

He does have a sentencing hearing coming up next month, and saying shit like this is exactly what you say when you want the judge to throw the book at you and make sure you do some jail time.
It is the perfect place for him to write a book - or dictate it to someone who can.
If he goes to jail, he would be going to a solitary wing at Rikers, because that would be the only place where his personal security would be guaranteed. Who would he dictate his book to, the rats?
What sort of dictator can’t even dictate his own book? A dictator’s got to dictate! :)
He’ll call it ‘My Struggle, My Triumph’.
And have it published with a block white text on a solid red cover. You know, to appeal to his readers who’ve been preconditioned via the red MAGA hats.
GTFO
I hear Saudi Arabia is good. Great golf courses, and Prince Bonesaw likes him.
But he didn’t lose, remember? He’s still here trying to fight the good fight!
(I need to go wash my phone after typing that…)
John Stewart did a good piece last night about how Trump is regularly reusing the same old lines but targeted toward Harris instead of Biden. Starting at 11:24 in this link: https://youtu.be/-VW6tHIcGfc?si=ynmWmXbTuMj8AnVd
Its uncanny.
Here is your link with the tracker ID removed and I added the timestamp you mentioned:
😳I hate how much— how targeted everything is now. I’m not STEM, so even when I’m just commenting or sharing idk how vulnerable I’m making myself.
Edit: thank you.
That article is about leaving the White House.
Heres an article about the Macon speech where he suggested seemingly jokingly that he’d leave the country. https://www.axios.com/2020/10/17/trump-rally-leave-us-biden-win
This time though, he’s fear mongering, but at the same time showing that he’s a coward who is not ready to stay and fight. He’s no Alexei Navalny, that’s for sure.
Yep, that’s what I meant, lol. Thanks for the clarification.
I had that one originally but figured the Reuters one would be more accessible (but failed to read through the Reuters one to confirm it was talking about the same “leave”. 🤦🏻♂️)
Updated the link in my earlier comment.
that make him a flight risk. one of these judges on the criminal case should take his passports and impound his jets
“Judge” Cannon: Sorry, best I could do is give Trump completely immunity and jail anyone who says they don’t like Trump.
But only after taking 6 weeks to “think it over”
Not only that but a target for kidnapping and torture for classified information by a foreign power.
And we all know he would give it up freely if there was a physical threat. He already gave it up to Saudi Arabia to the tune of 2 billion dollars.
He is a treasonous piece of shit.
I doubt the Secret Service would let him leave, and Trump likely still has some form of diplomatic passport, which would be extremely difficult for a judge to simply take away.
However, you can bet that his comments will be a factor in next month’s sentencing, and maybe tip the scales toward jail time. The most likely sentence is probation, but if he is openly saying he’s gonna skip the country, that may cause the judge to doubt whether Trump will make it to all of his meetings with his probation officer.
Remember this?
Joe Biden is expected to receive Secret Service protection with a new team that is more familiar to him and replacing some agents amid concerns that they may be politically allied with Donald Trump.
Or this?
“The Department notified us that many U.S. Secret Service (USSS) text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, were erased as part of a device-replacement program,” Inspector General Joseph Cuffari wrote to top members of congressional Homeland Security committees. “The USSS erased those messages after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of the events at the Capitol on January 6.”
Agents assigned to Biden were replaced because of questionable loyalty and the USSS actually destroyed evidence after the OIG requested the records for their Jan-6 investigation. It appears that MAGA has penetrated frighteningly far into the Secret Service. What do you think the odds are that any of agents assigned to protect Trump aren’t absolute MAGA zealots?
I doubt the Secret Service would let him leave
I don’t know where that shit comes from.
SS doesn’t have a say in shit. They can recommend things and most rational people would go along with it, but an ex president can do whatever they want and the SS has to follow along.
trump could get on a private plane, refuse to let SS on, and just fly to Russia. Hell, he can let them on and still do it. It’s not like SS is going to take over a fucking plane.
To add to this, I’m pretty sure they would still be responsible for his protection, even in Venezuela.
What they should and what they will being entirely separate of course, but I agree they should take it away irrespective of if he keeps his diplomatic and etc. It would be a good sign of not being above the law, like he’s trying to be.
I was already voting for Harris, you don’t have to sell me on it.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
He said the same thing last time
Yeah if I remember correctly he was talking about going to Scotland and they were like, “nah”.
