Well tbh both his ego and his bank account command him to try to run for president again so I don't see him fleeing.
As strange as it sounds, he is legally able to do both of those while in exile.
Imagine the secret service making themselves comfortable in the Kremlin.
I hope he flees to Russia
That would be hilarious.
Trump is arrested and Kutcher scores $2bn. Seems to me like he got played by his own son-in-law.
In a few decades we'll have Kutcher run for office as a self made billionaire.
So much unprecedented stuff has happened since his term, but I don't think anyone was ever confident he would actually stand trial for a federal jury.
He flew too close to the sun. He could have gotten away with so much shit, but he just can't help himself and doesn't know any boundaries.
I like everything that inconveniences him, even though I am not entirely sure they will get him this time. He's kinda rich after all and that's how it is.
It's hard to believe that after all this time he'll actually go down, but there's no way the prosecution didn't pull overtime to make doubly sure that this is going to stick.
A little on a tangent here but...
I'm guessing News and WorldNews will, again and like in Reddit, be actually USANews. Let's see what the fediverse and instances do bring to that issue.
The fact is that the whole world is addicted to US news and everyone wants to know what happens to Trump. Like it or not, the US is still the country that everyone else looks to, even if it's just to shit on it.
I think at the moment it really depends on what posts people will submit to this community. There are still so few posts, that they will not get buried, like on Reddit.
The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so
I am from Poland and didn't really follow the whole case. Can someone explain me why there is a thread that he will be arrested? It is hard to find the origin as the whole case exploded.
There's a LegalEagle video which sums it up: Trump's Bombshell Federal Document Indictment
Essentially,
- Trump took classified information during his time as president and failed to return them
- When asked to return them he failed to comply until forced
- When forced to comply, he still kept many documents the government knew were missing and lied to the government and his lawyers indicating that they were returned
- Was caught on tape admitting that he knew they were classified and that it was wrong for him to have them
The first bullet point apparently happens often (Biden, Pence, Hillary have all done similarly in the past). Trump is singular in that he didn't readily comply with the request for the return of documents and the consequent lies to the government (also illegal).
