I hope he doesn't. He'll bury himself into a mountain of new trouble. But even he is not that stupid.

Or maybe he'll flee to Russia. Which is fine for me too, let him expose himself as a traitor and eliminate the possibility of holding office again.

CIA and USSS would never let him flee to russia.

They wouldn't stop him. More than Half of them would probably help him do what he wants to do

But would his secret service allies really be willing to move to Russia with him?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Would an ally be willing to go to prison for decades? A reasonable person would say of course not, but here we are. If someone is an ally of Trump's, they clearly left reality long ago

I'm curious what makes you think he's not that stupid.

[–] PizzasDontWearCapes 4 points 1 year ago

His ego is greater than his stupidity. Fleeing will be an admission of losing - that would break him mentally

Careful he might be the first president working remotely. From russia.

I don't think we're up to the Russian vacation yet, not until we get closer to sentencing.
