I keep getting the feeling that Trump is ready to bug out on us

Meaning that the Trump family has a private jet all gassed up and ready to go to take the family to their private island which has a nice bunker stocked full of Medical Supplies for them to hunker down in when shit really hits the fan in this country and they need to skedaddle in a hurry.


How many times have we seen that in the movies?

So it isn't really terribly far-fetched. Well, I'm not sure Trump would ever get a clue though.

So we can have real leadership in President Pelosi. We are at that point now.

He's loving this corona virus coverage. Sure, he'd rather be at a rally where everyone is cheering and adoring his every word, rather than reporters firing questions he has no clue how to answer. But he's loving it, or he wouldn't be doing it.

He'd turn the military against the people before he'd leave the country.

he won't be in the country on inauguration day. It isn't hard to envision that scenario.

Epstein's island.

Let them go, we would be better off. When this is over they could drag his ass out and let us watch him squirm.

It would be a lot easier arrest them and haul them away once charges are pressed. Just surround the island, and wait until their supplies run out, and they have no choice but surrender to the authorities. Shoot down any aircraft that come anywhere near it to attempt any re-supplying.

to drag his ass back here. Unfortunately (or fortunately) he won't be so obvious.
