He doesn't have a lot of options. And every day looks worse than the day before.
Just my take.

(18,874 posts)His usefulness is pretty much gone. Everybody knows he was just a stooge.
He got conned by people who were just as awful and a lot smarter.

(1,702 posts)He will delay, delay, DELAY. Appeal, appeal, APPEAL.
He and a lot of others will be long gone and not to Dubai or anywhere on this earth....under it yes, before he's held as not above the law. And he will play the poor me role every day and use it to raise $ from the stupid morons in the cult.

(18,874 posts)It's all just too weird. And sick and twisted.
Like the Bourne Identity or some spy on spy movie.

(16,129 posts)He has no reason to believe that he will face any consequences for his actions.
He has been committing crimes more or less out in the open for his entire adult life and never faced consequences for any of it.
He likely thinks he'll have to pay a fine, which he'll never pay anyway and just go along his merry way.
He might be right.

(16,129 posts)and he doesn't like that. He's afraid that someone will usurp his place as the leader of the MAGATs.

(18,874 posts)Mar a lago is probably pretty expensive to run. Didn't all of his other businesses fail so he doesn't have anything to fall back on. I think his golf courses lose money. Isn't that all he has left.

First person I've ever wished this for, though I'm getting there on McConnell.

(18,874 posts)I see someone like Trump coming. I'm not sure he isn't just a cyborg.
Irish_Dem
(47,462 posts)He has been on a crime spree his entire life and gotten away with it.
Why would he think now is different?

(5,852 posts)Otherwise he wouldn't be intimidating witnesses. He doesn't understand the grave danger he is in. He thinks he can con, intimidate, extort, blackmail, and threaten his way out of this and win the next presidential election.
He won't skip the country until the walls really close in on him and there is absolutely no escape. And I wonder if they'd put him in custody to prevent him from fleeing before that happens.

Yeah......Little Donnie will not be going anywhere outside America, unless it's on vacation.

(16,471 posts)He will be doing it on his 757. It was recently moved from the east coast and flown to Louisiana where it has been fitted with a new engine and a new livery. Hes clearly readying it for something.
