A friend and I have discussed, Trump will move to Russia .."permanently"...

...At first I thought it was kind of odd, but now I see the positive side for Trump.
.....1. No worry about media or press.
.....2. He has enough money to live a "good life in Russia" whatever that is ?
.....3. No law suits that he will ever need to worry about.
.....4. No criminal charges in Russia that he needs to worry about
.....5. While law suits will be placed against Trump, Trump will not need to defend them.(in Russia)
.....6. Never any worry about answering any questions about the "Virus Disaster"...see #1
.....7. While it won't be pretty, easy enough to do. Just take the President's Plane to Russia for a visit,
and stay there...
.....8 Most important: If you think that Trump has not thought about seriously doing this, then I do believe that the idea that Trump is a , total con artist, ..is not secure up there in your head. Yes, Trump is a total con artist who will do anything, anytime, to get his way..(and will say anything anytime well, and Trump also believes that he can gat away with anything...including moving to Russia to avoid dealing with what he doesn't want to deal with..

he is also so full of hubris he will think he can beat the charges and stay in the US. After all, it has worked all his life.

He owes someone over there (Oleg Deripaska maybe) way more money than he'll be able to grift before Jan 20. That kind of debt gets you killed in Russia.

If he spills state secrets he may be useful for a short period. I doubt he can remember much that they don't already know. My guess is that he would quickly become a huge liability for the Kremlin.

No rallies.

No adoring crowds.

No TV contracts.

He does not believe he will be held accountable.

He will eventually have to find another banana republic with no extradition treaty that wants to poke a stick in the eye of the US. Eric Prince will fly him out on a Gulfstream in the dark of night....but not to Russia.

He'll have to leave BEFORE NY State charges are filed. Once he's indicted, he'll have to turn over his passport. And the Secret Service detail that's assigned to him won't allow him to leave the country. The best he can do is to hop into a car housing a Russian diplomat and hole up in the Russian embassy near Washington, DC.

The public relations disaster for Russia or whatever nation harbors him will be permanent as long as he is alive. Donald Trump would have to ditch his Secret Service detail is this even possible? Part of Secret Service protection is to preserve State Secrets. My guess he would be dead in a matter of minutes maybe gunned down by the Secret Service or National Security agencies. (Pure Speculation)

Trump is not going to go anywhere, other than perhaps to Mar-A-Lago or prison. He won't go off shore anywhere. He really, really believes the election was stolen from him, and simply cannot understand why the courts and the legislatures haven't backed him up.

This is a nest of traitors, hopefully none of them will ever have a peaceful nights sleep and will need to watch their backs from now on.

Someone is bound to explain to Donald Trump what life has in store for him and what he can do to make life easier.

My take is that he does live in his own world that is never informed by outside information of any kind.
