'He Hates America': Trump Slammed For Admitting He'd 'Prefer' To Live Overseas

Donald Trump admitted that he would like to leave the country and live overseas.

Trump, who has frequentlyexpresseddisdain for America and Americans, made the confession during a rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday as he griped about the charges against him and lamented ever getting into politics.

“I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or in the south of France ― which I would prefer to being in this country, frankly.”

------------------------------------------------------------
Twitter users are telling him good riddance and to go ahead and leave. Hopefully he will be convicted and in prison but I would not mind if he took his shit show out of our nation.

He always goes to Bedminster this time of year.

Anyone who tries to play golf in Florida in August must be a tourist, or else crazy.

But I AGREE he'd never go to France or any other non-English-speaking country. The places where he'd like to go, would never take him, like Scotland, England, Canada or Australia.

72. Exactly. Trump indicates his intentions
Wed Aug 9, 2023, 08:36 AM
Aug 2023

ahead of time in ways that people too often do not take seriously.

More than once during his term in office, he indicated that he did not intend to leave the White House. He praised Putin's political manipulations that would make Putin the forever president of Russia and said that the US needed something like that. He complained that the Mueller investigation had robbed time from him and that he deserved 2 extra years in his term to compensate. During the 2020 debates, he said that he would accept the outcome of the election only if he won. He even announced that the Proud Boys should "Stand back and stand by."

Yet people were surprised at J6. But why? He had already indicated his intentions. People did not take him seriously when he did.

This comment now indicates that he will flee rather than face a trial that he is not sure of winning. He will leave rather than go to prison.

I’m conflicted on whether it would be better for the US if he bolts or if he stays and is convicted and sentences to prison. I think his leaving the country might actually be better because being imprisoned turns him into a martyr while abandoning the country means abandoning his cult. I’m not sure they would continue their worship of him.

He would be vindictive about being driven from his "rightful place" in the WH.

I think that he would also lash out vindictively against the people that he feels betrayed him by testifying to the prosecution. He would release publicly, from abroad, whatever kompromat he has on them. He would do that for 2 reasons - to get revenge on them and to create further discord in the US as a parting shot.

Imagine what would happen here if Trump revealed what he has on Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, and several others that he has controlled. Some of what he said would be true and some would be made up.

Is it possible that his threat to leave the US is also a threat to witnesses that if he leaves, he can freely expose them?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38586945

Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner 'died in Syria squalor'

One of his guards said Brunner, who went by the name of Abu Hussein, “suffered and cried a lot in his final years, everyone heard him.”

The man, identified only as Omar, said he “couldn’t even wash.”

All he had to eat were “army rations - awful stuff - and an egg or a potato. He had to choose one or the other.”

(He was a 'consultant' to various torture regimes but when he became a political embarrassment/liability, his retirement plan was really bad)

Russian state television hosts and commentators have commended Donald Trump—heralding him as "beloved" and referring to him as "our candidate"—just days after the former president publicly praised Vladimir Putin.

The footage was collated and posted online with English translations by Daily Beast columnist Julia Davis, who created the Russian Media Monitor watchdog. Her Twitter bio, which says she has been hit by sanctions from Russia, ends with the words: "I watch Russian state TV, so you don't have to."

Davis uploaded the clips to Twitter late on Monday night. Her caption read: "Meanwhile in Russia: watch these highlights from today's state TV shows. The Kremlin's pet propagandists hate America, love Trump, find him 'incredible,' say they place all of their hope in him and Russia should continue to support 'its candidate.'"

to explain to me how tRump can "bolt". He is under federal indictment for espionage, corruption, fraud, and more. He is surrounded by SS who "protect" him but they also serve as a permanent guard. tRumpo can wish away all day long that he was elsewhere (just recall him hugging and kissing the flag, saying he loves America more than anybody) but he can't escape. His plane is useless, his connections to corrupt dictators won't help him in any way. If the USA decided he is a flight risk, they will incarcerate him, but seeing as how he would need clearance to fly, he is TRAPPED. If he takes off without clearance, an F-16 or 2 will be sent to force his plane down or blow it up. Bolt? Like Usain Bolt? LOL. Orange Thing is trapped and he can't even bite his leg off to escape the trap of Justice. Watching with great enjoyment. America Being made Great Again. Hang tRump NOW!!!

and huge bucks. you think F-16s will shoot him down? fuck, this country won't even take away his phone, or even take a mug shot of the guy.

I'm still going with my theory of them sending up the trump plane, and igniting a self planted bomb. Fake his death, blame on the extreme liberals, then pack him away to some private island for the rest of his life.

138. His plane
Wed Aug 9, 2023, 09:04 PM
Aug 2023

Can't make it past the British Isles after crossing the Atlantic without refueling. None of the countries on those lands would harbor him as a fugitive. He lands anywhere British, they will send him back.

Crossing the Pacific, his plane can make it to Siberia via Seattle and Anchorage/Juneau. Then he can get to Vladivostok, where he can charter a jet that can take him anywhere from there. But again, it's where he lands from there that will be the problem.

Very few countries will harbor him as a fugitive. They just won't. First of all, most of them hate him as much as we do. Second, they won't jeopardize their relationship with the US over that worthless dimwit. Finally, he won't be able to stand living in most of the ones that don't have extradition agreements with the US. Nearly all of them are Muslim. Yeah--that's going to appeal to him.

He really has very few nations to choose from that are friendly to him and that he could abide. We all talk about Saudi Arabia, but, honestly, do you see him being happy there with all of those mooslims around? Or his bigotry not having him insult the country and its people, sooner or later? I doubt he'd make it there a year before they booted him out.

The only place he can go, really, is Russia.

Just had to be a big shot didn't ya?

He could have stayed out of politics and been a somewhat big shot in New York and Palm Beach. He'd have had his Donald Trump Club in Palm Beach where his fans could pay a quarter million to join and all those damn golf courses losing money like everything else he touches.

But at least he'd stay out of prison.

Trump is actually plotting to flee when he's convicted. So the judge should not only yank his passport, she or he should also quit treating him like a former president instead of the criminal defendant he is.

2. Those that think he’s right and can will go with him further reducing their numbers!

It a big win win!!

He said, “I could be relaxing at Mar-a-Lago, or the south of France, which I prefer being in this country, frankly.”
When he mentioned France, he immediately (and clumsily) tried to make it clear that he didn’t want to be there and he’d rather be in this country, the USA.

He did not say “to.” Listen again.

I despise the man as much as anyone, but this is just a misquote.

There are a significant number of countries that do not have extradition treaties with the United States, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Some of these countries also have no diplomatic relations with the United States, which further complicates the issue of extradition.

And I do mean the very last.

He was the one that reimposed sanctions on them, and called them a supporter of state-sponsored terrorism.

So we could send him to that prison, on a nice island. Not that I'm suggesting we do that, but pointing out we could.

I've been thinking of possible island prisons for him as I read this thread.
Devil's island in France is closed as a prison.
But he might get to stay at Rikers Island in NY.
Alcatraz is closed as a prison.
I think most prison islands have been repurposed.

I googled this:
The advent of modern security has lessened the incentive for setting up prison facilities on naturally isolated places like islands. And that same isolation makes the facilities hard to upkeep, creating logistical challenges with workers, maintenance, and supplies.

Wed Aug 9, 2023, 01:39 PM

He'd be doing us a great favor if he would leave. Not so much for the country where he ended up. We could convict him in absentia. He'd be persona non grata, subject to immediate arrest and incarceration. We wouldn't have to extradite him. That would presume we wanted him back.

He can start by sailing to the island privately owned by Ivanka and Jared. I don't know what country governs that, but let him start a rebellion there and conquer that place.

Get thee out of our country, Orange Turd. Maybe we can get a payment from some country to take you back, and use the money to pay back all those people you didn't pay, for services rendered to you while you were playing Russian Mob Boss with our Congress. Don't worry, we will always know exactly where you are.

Keep your multiple passports. You're going to need them.

An extradition agreement with France?

He wouldn't be in the South of France ten minutes before the French shipped him back.

I'd be super-mean about it and seize his plane. Then put him in the back oft the next commercial flight back to the US in manacles--flying coach.

Wonder if the flight attendants will throw the bags of peanuts at him like the ones on Continental did when I last flew on that crappy airline?
