I think Trump is going to run from justice before the election

[Mr.WeRP]

After the devastating debate, Trump has been touting polls he’s paid for saying he’s winning with 80-90% of the vote. His rhetoric on this has dominated since the debate. These polls he is citing are polls he paid for. Why is he paying for polls and not to get re-elected? Meidas Touch had an explanation for this: he is setting up the election was rigged talking point. In other words, Trump knows he is going to lose so he is paying for polls that show he is winning by ridiculously huge margins so he (and politicians who still support him) can challenge the election and foment violence from their supporters.

With that in mind, now consider that Sept. 19th will be the first possible date that Trump can sell his 120 million shares in DJT (currently valued around $1.5 billion), as long as they remain above $12 / share. This stock has resisted dropping below $15/share and it is not normal resistance as the short positions against it are accelerating. When Trump starts selling, the share price will inevitably start dropping, and it is unlikely he will be able to cash in all 120 million shares before it hits $12 unless he gets a contractual buyer with a fixed price. Let’s say that happens.

Meanwhile, he just announced his latest grift of a digital currency. Do you think his fans are going to continue to dump money into this? Are they going to sell their shares of DJT at a loss to buy his coin? Doubtful. He’s setting this up as a money laundering device that can’t be regulated by the US like his DJT shares are.

Trump now has far more wealth than he ever has (he’s never really been a billionaire). He knows he can’t win the election. He is facing several criminal cases as well as sentencing (he will get time from the Hush Money case; if you want to know why, watch ?si=-9_ZxZQe94QNhcro" target="_blank">this). There is no way this guy is sticking around to watch the loss. I suspect he will “go on vacation” in October and then when he loses the election on Nov. 5, he will tell his supporters he is living in exile in Russia until he can be restored to power, telling his supporters the only way that can happen is if they engage in insurrection against the US. And Russia will fund these idiots with the digital currency launched by Trump.

1. TSF isn't going anywhere

He has the Supreme Court behind him, besides there aren't many golf courses in Russia and one can't golf year round there.

[Alpeduez21]

2. In exile he want have the media

To stoke his ego

[ColinC]

3. That would be delightful

Yet a pipe dream unfortunately

[dutch777]

4. Hope he gets a nice two bedroom flat down the hall from Snowden. Going too Melania?

He will grift it all as long as there is a pay day for Donnie. Just think of the wreckage Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka will inherit. Very well deserved.

5. Silly nonsense

His assets would be seized frozen if he fled. He’s not going anywhere.

[Oopsie Daisy]

6. Agreed. (It's a fun fantasy, though.)

[Mr.WeRP]

7. Depends where he puts those assets and what form they are in

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. He can't move his properties out of the US

That is where the vast bulk of his wealth is.

AFAIK, with the exception of his Scottish golf course, he doesn’t own the Trump branded properties outside of the US.

He has at least two huge bonds that use his assets as collateral.

[Mr.WeRP]

9. Trump Org cannot. Trump's personal assets were not part of that decision

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. He secured his bonds with personal assets. Nt

[Mr.WeRP]

11. His DJT assets worth $1.5b were not part of that.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Your Own Post...

...accurately points out that he is at risk of holding low value paper that can't be sold.
So, those assets you describe may not be worth $1.5Bn

[Mr.WeRP]

21. That is true. I suspect he has a contract buyer lined up

That will buy his portion of shares for $12/share. Thinking Saudi or Saudi-derived $$.

12. As I've posted several times before, Dump would be miserable in Russia, and he knows it. He'd be a nobody with

no special privileges (such as being an ex-president with all the perks), he doesn't speak the language (nor does he speak the standard English that many Russians speak), and he'd be surrounded by foreigners. Russian burgers are probably not what he's used to. In short, I doubt he'd move to Russia. But for all the reasons listed above, I really hope he does. It would save millions that would be spent indicting and trying him, and it would be great to see him suffer in his own personal hell.

15. Entertaining the fantasy that this thread represents...

If someone wanted to escape the clutches of the US Judicial system... the best option is Dubai.

I've been there multiple times and it's awesome.

[Martin68]

18. Do you think Trump would enjoy living there? Surrounded by foreigners? Assetless?

With no one kissing his ass on a daily basis?

[WarGamer]

19. A few things... the fantasy has Trump escaping with lots of $$

And Dubai is full of people from around the world.

TBH it feels more like Miami than Cairo.

[kentuck]

13. Elon will buy it.

He covets the MAGA followers. He sees them as a ticket to power.

[WarGamer]

14. slightly better chance that an alien craft abducts him.

[onenote]

17. The chances of that happening are zero. Don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

It would be totally at odds with his narcissistic personality. He has total confidence that he will never face imprisonment. He has total faith that if he's convicted of any crimes that might actually lead to a prison sentence -- which excludes the NY fraud case for which it is all but certain he will not be sentenced to jail time as a first offender of a non-violent crime -- he will remain free during the appeals process and he is confident that the courts, particularly the Supreme Court, will come through on his behalf. While those appeals are pending and he's not incarcerated, and assuming (please please let it be so) he loses the election, he will be free to continue to hold rallies and otherwise grift his crazy followers.

[Buckeyeblue]

20. I think if he accepts the election results and calls on everyone else to accept them

Both sets of federal charges will be dropped. GA will also drop their case. And NY will sentence him to a fine and some sort of probation.

The goal will be to make him dissappear until he dies.
