Assuming, that if Trump is indicted after he loses in 2020, he will scamper off to

[demosincebirth]

Russia and spend to rest of his life there as a fugitive?

[Beakybird]

1. No. They are members of Interpol. They might return him.

His BFF in North Korea might take him.

[demosincebirth]

14. He just might be stocking up lot of money there. Who knows?

[Odoreida]

2. South of France, Switzerland maybe?

He has a lot of money you know.

[shanny]

6. "extradition"

Switzerland sometimes does not--the crime has to be a crime in both countries. Tax evasion isn't one, probably money-laundering is (cough cough...but! appearances matter).

[shanny]

3. No. He wouldn't be welcome.

tRump's an (unwitting half-witted) asset, not a friend or ally. He thinks he's got something to gain from what he's doing ($$ and/or re-election).

Putin on the other hand simply wants to sow unrest and weaken the US. He also wants to be able to claim his hands are clean, even (especially) if everyone knows they are not.

Plots within plots within plots.

[Freethinker65]

4. Private pay assisted living for age related cognitive decline at Mar a Lago

Where he will spend the rest of his life believing he is the best thing to ever happen to the universe, playing golf, ranting, lusting, and watching TV. So he will be living not much differently than today, but the country and world will be free to ignore his grifting, rants and threats, and tantrums.

[The empressof all]

9. That's what I think too

I am however quite eager to see Kushner and Little Don in prison until their dying days. I would prefer a NY state prison not some fancy fed joint....but I'd take what I can get. Ivanka in the Women's House of Detention would be the icing on the cake.

[elfin]

5. No - Putin won't want him - no use to him anymore

However, a satellite to Russia like Slovenia (malaria's home) might suit. He could actually BE a dictator and with connections like he had with Manafort could mess with Europe and NATO to his pleasure.

And build golf courses.

Much depends on whether there is an extradition treaty with one of these satellites that he could turn into a principality (with Putin's permission, of course.)

[brooklynite]

7. No, why?

If indicted he wouldn't be allowed to leave the country.

[demosincebirth]

13. Polanski did.

[brooklynite]

19. Government tracking is a little different today...

Computerized reservations, airline flight plans....

[jmowreader]

28. You seem to forget, young Brooklynite...

...that Donald Trump owns an airliner. If he wants to flee the country, it's going to be damned hard to stop him.

The question is finding a country that is (1) within one tank of fuel's distance from Newark Liberty International, where his plane is; (2) willing to become an international pariah by accepting him and - most importantly - (3) free of any organized crime figures he owes money to. It will not do Trump a lick of good to land in Moscow, be taken outside the ring road and have a bullet put in his head within the hour.

[brooklynite]

31. A commercial 757 can't just take off from a commercial airfield without clearance.

[hlthe2b]

8. Here's his options (countries without US extradiction in 2019)

http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/countries-without-extradition/

Of course, some might try to negotiate return with US to try to improve their relationship with next administration.
Afghanistan
Algeria
Andorra
Angola
Armenia
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Belarus
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Brunei
Burkina Faso
Burma
Burundi
Cambodia
Cameroon

I'd guess his good friends, the Saudis, or UAE would be his best option.

[jmowreader]

29. Negotiate isn't the word I was thinking of

"Hello, Mrs. US Ambassador...we've got Donald Trump locked up in the basement, can you please come get him? He's starting to drive us fucking nuts."

[sop]

10. They could behead him if he get's out of line

[Siwsan]

11. I picture him spending his days, much like Al Capone did, after release from prison

Sitting around in his bathrobe, disoriented, slurring his words, going in and out of cognitive stability while his brain rots within his skull. In other words, a ramped up version of what we are seeing, now.

[Adsos Letter]

21. Also, fishing in his swimming pool.

Something I’ve also heard Capone did.

[former9thward]

12. He will not face a criminal trial lose or win.

People love to spend their time fantasizing.

[demosincebirth]

15. Mighty dismal assessment. He'll take a plea.

[Grammy23]

16. I keep thinking that he has an escape plan regardless of anything that happens.

I can’t imagine that he would chance getting caught, indicted, tried and convicted. So it just seems plausible that he would have a serious plan in place to flee with key family members on a moment’s notice. Where? I haven’t a clue, but it isn’t a stretch for me to believe he has thought of it and planned an escape route. He thinks he will never serve a day in prison. Naturally, he can’t pull this off alone but he doesn’t seem to have any trouble getting minions willing to do his bidding.

[NCjack]

17. USA will not put a prez or x-prez in prison. One of his properties in USA will be converted

into a refuge, controlled by the Secret Service. He will be let out for medical services and to be honored by his base, e.g., the dedication of things with is name. Things that congress can't stop: county landfills, sewage pump stations, faith-based schools. Mostly silent participation by him, as his brain disease will make him so vulgar that even his base will not want to hear that garbage.

[dlk]

18. Trump Will Find a Country With No Extradition Treaty

He’s likely already planned his escape

[kairos12]

20. He could resign in January, 2021 and have Mike Dense pardon him.

[StarfishSaver]

22. This kind of scenario is what Nixon's AG Eliot Richardson frared

Not so much that he'd resign and be pardoned (which actually ended up happening, although the circumstances were different), but that he'd resign or be impeached and a degenerately crooked vice president would become president. As Rachel Maddow explained in her brilliant podcast, Bagman, Richardson moved heaven and Earth to get Agnew out of there before that could happen.

Good times.

[Vegas Roller]

23. I think Trump will stay put

but he would squirrel away his children and money to UAE.

I think Trump himself is far less likely to be charged criminally.

[Turin_C3PO]

24. He'd probably stay here and not be convicted.

He should be, of course, but anywhere in the country there’s bound to be one deplorable who hangs the jury.

[rampartc]

26. +1

[AncientGeezer]

25. No...and being indicted AND convicted ....I'll bet my catfood budget

That doesn't happen.

[stillcool]

27. He's probably got his bags packed...

If he could shut his mouth, give up the tanning, and let this hair go natural, he could hide in plain sight.

[Cicada]

30. Manafort's previous pro Russia client fled to Moscow

Victor Yanukovich, the Previous Russia puppet advised by Manafort, was elected Prime Minister of Ukraine. He had to flee to Moscow where he currently resides.

[not_the_one]

32. Saudi Arabia

They don't have an extradition treaty, and Jared has been dotting the i's and crossing the t's, setting it all up.

Putin would kill him, just as soon as look at him. He will have outlived his purpose.

Meanwhile, he could be the "whiney little bitch" in exile, with his solid core base to lap up his every lie, basically continuing to fuck this country over, for the rest of his life.

THAT is why I want him to die in prison. Maybe he could have his own wing at Guantanamo. Then he could feel REALLY special.
