Trump threatens to flee to Russia to avoid prosecution: 'I'd share a gold domed suite with Vladimir'

Trump threatens to flee to Russia to avoid prosecution: 'I'd share a gold domed suite with Vladimir'

https://www.rawstory.com/is-trump-a-flight-risk/



A Fulton County judge set bond for the former president at $200,000, and Trump said he would surrender to authorities a day ahead of Friday's deadline, and then he issued a complaint about the conditions that acknowledged longstanding speculation that he would flee the country to evade accountability.

"The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me," Trump posted on Truth Social. "I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a 'flight' risk – I’d fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again. Would I be able to take my very 'understated' airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see. Probably not, I’d be much better off flying commercial – I’m sure nobody would recognize me!"

Is it a right wing trait? Rush Limbaugh had a piss colored microphone and bragged about it too.

Not on a commercial flight. It’ll be easier for Putin to shoot it down like the last guy who disappointed him. Go for it Donnie two scoops, you won’t be missed. The magats will be upset but all the rethug candidates will be happy, as will the majority of Americans.

He doesn't want to have to come up with the money, his reasoning being that he is such a well known celebrity, there is no way he could flee the country without the country knowing it, so why bother with it. Bend the rule of law for Trump once again.

Actually I am a bit surprised Trump is not calling the bond far too little for such a rich and powerful alpha male celebrity as himself.
