Is it possible that Trump might flee the country if things get too hot...?

...and do it as a *sitting President*??? I think he's feeling more panic-stricken every day. He knows the shit is going to hit the fan, sooner rather than later. Is he making plans to get out while the going is still good? How could he get around the Secret Service? Would he go to Russia? If this all sounds crazy--well, we live in crazy times. This, to me, would be perfectly in keeping with everything we know of Dolt 45. He's a coward, and would never face the music like a man...

So when things get too hot in the kitchen he can take his private coptor or boat to Cuba and then on to wherever. He's probably gaining the SS trust down there and trying to figure out his escape plan every time. Guys like him don't get caught and go to trial, they flee and keep blaming people the whole way down, even throwing his daughter under the bus.

It's the narcissism. They simply can't bring themselves to leave the spotlight.

I have suspected that Trump kept his private security force because he knew that there was a chance that his bad deeds would lead to his demise, and that he might need their assistance to avoid arrest and imprisonment. I could think of no other reason for keeping them. He shouldn't have had a need to have kept them......he should have known that he would be protected by the tightest security in the world (the Secret Service) for four years.....but was he sure?

Maybe not.

I would not be totally shocked if, when he is 100% certain that he is doomed, we find out that Trump, his family, and his merry coterie of assorted fascist, thieving slime-balls were spirited to an airport by his private security force.....and that they are on their way to Moscow on Trump's private plane seeking asylum. If he is guilty of high crimes (I believe he is), and he knows he is caught, I don't think he will just sit and wait to be taken to prison for twenty or more years. I think he would flee. If he knows he is caught, what would he have to lose?

Mar-a-Lago would be a great place for him to ditch the Secret Service. He and his people know it inside and out. The Secrets Service.......not so much.
