.... if you want to get the Tangerine Fuhrer to shut up you might need a butt plug - that is the only place TFG's "wisdom" emanates from.

Lots of people have been accused, tried, convicted of espionage since.

Some got light sentences, some got 30 year sentences.

One was sentenced for two years, but was pardoned after almost 20 years after his sentence.
He then went on to steal government documents and received probation.

He would be at the mercy of a foreign government that would be kindly disposed to him only insofar as he could do things for him. That list would be very short and getting shorter all the time. His movements would be circumscribed. He would enjoy none of the pomp and power to which he was accustomed as a private citizen in the US, much less as a President and former President.

What's probably worst from his point of view is that he would immediately cease to be a factor in American politics. Only the most deluded of Q-head MAGATS would believe in any future role for TFG. It would be a pathetic, leaderless cult: "Wait until The Donald returns -- he will redeem us!"

Passport will be revoked. (Of course don't need passport with a private plane)

I just don't think he would go to another country because he would have it worse than if he was out on the bail in the US...

Can you imagine him seeking refuge in Saudi Arabia or Russia? He wouldn't be able to handle it. He needs to be around his adoring fans.

I think that depends on where you land.
