1. Trump is getting paranoid

He's afraid of being ousted while he's out of the country.

3. Good, that means we won't need to

go get his sorry, orange ass when it's time for the perp parade.

7. Maybe he's afraid he'll be shot out of the sky ?

2. Lucky Oz

The US is jealous.

4. He's afraid we won't

let him back in.

5. Pence is going to Niu Guinea?

Hopefully on a one way fact finding mission to discover what it is like to become the main course on a cannibal's menu.

6. They say "Thanks mate"

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. My dream is that Donald gets removed from office while he's out of the country

and that therefore all his security, Air Force One, and everything else comes home and just strands him wherever the hell he is.

And what would even be better if his removal from office included a "he gets jailed if he enters the country" and a freezing of all his assets.

I'd love to see that sick, evil son of a bitch fuckmonster be stuck in a foreign country with no access to his money, his country, his lawyers, his family, or anyone who gives a shit - and as to the latter, we know there will be no one who gives a shit because all his supporters are nothing but opportunists and sycophants, because Donald has, literally, no friends.

And as much as I despise that shitstain failure of a human being, I feel very very sad that he also very clearly has no friends and as far as I can tell, he's never had a friend. Even his wives have been more like associates or co-workers than actual friends or lovers.

But even as I feel kind of sad that the narcissistic kleptocratic dungsnarfer, I want him to punished in the most heinous way that morally allowable - and to me, that means stranded among foreigners with no access to his assets or the tools (that is, people) who prop him up. Fuck him. I want him selling his flesh to sex tourists in Thailand. And I don't mean that as a euphemism for prostituting himself - I mean literally selling his flesh to billionaires who hate him.

9. his plan is to escape to russia, with tons of us gold.....

he needs to be able to get out fast. he doesn't want all the press with him.

[EarthFirst]

10. Harder to control security overseas...

He’s got a lot of eyes on him.

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. He's afraid that the baby Trump will be floated again to greet him

[rpannier]

12. I believe reality may be seeping in and he realizes they're gonna get killed in Nov

So he doesn't want to be anywhere he cannot control the message

[truthisfreedom]

13. This is about the election. He knows he can't threaten violence from overseas.

And threatening violence is the only thing a mobster can ultimately do.

14. Ireland drew the short straw instead. Because he wants to play fucking golf.

Donald Trump will visit Ireland in November, it was confirmed on Friday. The president will also visit France to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war.

The exact timing of the European trip was not announced. The leader of the Irish Labour party promised to oppose the visit.
...
In Dublin, a government spokesman said: “The Taoiseach understands that President Trump will stop in Ireland for a brief visit on his way to or from the Armistice commemorations in Paris.”
...
In Scotland, he also visited one of his golf courses. In Ireland, the president owns the Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg in County Clare, where plans for a sea wall to combat the effects of climate change have caused considerable controversy, given the president’s professed skepticism on the issue.
