Preparing to flee to another country.

T00l_shed@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 13:42 next collapse

Why would he flee to another country? Nothing has happened to him in the us

yakko@feddit.uk on 20 Feb 13:45 next collapse

Usually when he’s done fucking something that means it’s dead so

matlag@sh.itjust.works on 20 Feb 14:16 next collapse

Plan A is certainly staying in power, absolute power, in the US.

Plan B might be escaping prosecution for corruption, pedophilia, rape, … but still with a bigliest bank account.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 20 Feb 20:30 collapse

is there anything that indicates he is gonna get prosecuted for any of these things?

motherfucker is just getting started with his shit, why would he leave his empire.

SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 15:11 collapse

He was almost domed.

T00l_shed@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 15:29 collapse

Was he though?

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca on 20 Feb 14:25 next collapse

He’s safest in the US, SCOTUS is already bought and paid for.

Mirshe@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 20:16 collapse

He might look it, but not feel it. There’s a LOT of eyes looking at the big chair and saying “wow Trump is doing a shitty job, I could easily do better if only he’d move out of the way.

Blueliner@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 14:53 next collapse

If that’s the case, I say he can have the money and GTFO.

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 16:18 collapse

No he isn’t.

The last year has proven that the Epstein class is untouchable here in the US. They may have to make some kind of symbolic gesture, like Larry Summers’ resignation, but that’s all it’ll be.

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works on 20 Feb 16:23 collapse

Perhaps ShellMonkey means that they themselves are preparing to flee the US

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 16:25 collapse

Good point. I didn’t read it that way.

ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com on 20 Feb 17:58 collapse

Nah, I would see it like another commented, plan A is taking over as a full dictator, but failing that he would likely try and run to avoid any punishment.

Jhex@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 14:03 next collapse

are you ThERe yET, Americans?

matlag@sh.itjust.works on 20 Feb 14:17 next collapse

Pretty sure ~30% will still answer he will use that better than any UN org for the world’s best interests.

Jhex@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 14:32 collapse

well yes… brainless morons can’t help it

‘Well, I didnt vote for him…!’

‘It was the dems fault!’

What ever happened to the ball room at the White House?

Doomsider@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 17:26 collapse

You mean the East Wing where they used to molest all the children? Demolished so all the evidence is gone. Many boys, particularly during the Bush era, could explain in intricate detail what the rooms looked like, how many stars were on the ceiling, describing the moldings. It is common to dissociate when getting molested and hyper focus on your surroundings.

What is an old demented man with a full diaper going to do with all this money?

NekoKoneko@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 16:46 collapse

He’s mentally impaired. A malignant and grandiose narcissist wants more money, attention, fame, and so on for themselves no matter what they have.

madjo@piefed.social on 20 Feb 15:32 next collapse

This is madjo’s complete lack of surprise. As soon as he announced his stupid board of piece of shits I knew it was another grift. That money was always going to go into his own bank account, because he only became president to stay out of jail and to make himself rich, and the republicans will just excuse this away as they have with all the other corruption that’s been happening from the Soiled House.

The US is a failed experiment.

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 16:23 collapse

And all Democrats will offer is sternly-worded letters in “opposition”.

P00ptart@lemmy.world on 20 Feb 15:32 next collapse

Why bother with this grift when you can just nationalize Elons companies and then gift them to yourself?

amorangi@lemmy.nz on 20 Feb 19:58 collapse

Elon’s companies aren’t actually worth anything though. Their perceived value is from people believing Elon’s blowhard lies.

…which will lead to nothing at all but money in his pockets.
