Can anyone else see Trump fleeing the country if impeached?

I can imagine him and his shitty family fleeing to Russia if impeached. He’d sell out the US and its allies. I’m not saying he would, I just wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

I suppose he could end up like some of the Nazis after WWII, hiding out in South American countries that don't have extradition treaties with the U.S.

Only the people in town near his golf course like him rest think he is crazy. I traveled all over country and didn’t find one person who liked him because I didn’t go to that town. But I was told by many people those are the only ones who do.

Unlike Russia, Turkey has all those pesky, brownish Muslims as a majority.

He is of great use to Russia right where he is. Even if he decided he wanted to resign, Putin wouldn't let him. "Just when I thought I was out, the pull me right back in."

I can also imagine him being abducted by aliens, wished out of office and into a menial labor job by Aladdin's genie and eaten by a landshark.

The chances of any of these options happening are about equal.

extradition treaty with the U.S.? I don't see him fleeing, but it's entertaining to ponder.

That is an extremely marketable commodity. If he does leave he will be paid handsomely.

Won't happen. He will be totally confident that he's innocent up to the very end. He is incapable of thinking otherwise.

If the House impeaches and the senate doesn't convict, he could finish his term as Blotus, it doesn't automatically throw him out of office.

For the president to be removed from office, a full two-thirds of the Senate has to vote to convict him. Depending on the Senate judgement, he could run for reelection.
