(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)
But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he’d start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?
That’s… actually not a bad idea? Fleeing would solve as many problems for the country as anything. Would love to see him run to Putin or Kim or some other dictator idol; One for the history books! Unfortunately, he’ll probably need more humiliation and losing to get to that point.
Would it solve any problems though? Unless they’re set up to catch him in the act of trying to flee, he flees to a country that doesn’t extradite to the US, his supporters become even more incensed than they already are, and the GOP gets an out for whoever they pick as their candidate for the 2024 election since they’d no longer have to fight trump. The con base is now solidified under a single candidate after the primaries, and they’re galvanized against “the deep state liberal socialist commies”.
The alternative is trump staying, causing further damage to the GOP as he splits the conservative voterbase between his populism and typical republican politicians, and likely gets convicted of multiple felonies. Imo, him leaving just let’s the problem fester, while him staying likely splits the conservative vote
