What happens after Trump leaves the WH in 2028?

He will fly to Saudi Arabia unless his passport is revoked before he can leave. I'm sure there is no extradition treaty with the Saudi's and MBS or any of the Arab states there. He has always been deferential to the Arab states because they have lots of money. I feel the future enemies of the US will not be Russia or China. It will the the Arabs and their billions of petro bucks along with the billionaires here in the US.

Although I’m looking forward to him being carried out feet first before 2028.

Then be a pain in the ass about what every politician is doing wrong, complain everyone is undoing his achievements, etc.

There will probably be investigations into him, but will probably die before the slow wheels of justice can get to him.

His kids on the other hand, probably have a real problem...

The newly elected president isn't inaugurated until that date, and the outgoing President normally doesn't leave until then.

The UK, no. France, no. Germany, no. Saudi Arabia, yeah, that's where he went. The hands on the glowing ball, the weird sword dance. The MBS and Putin have the goods on him. There is no other reason for his behavior since the beginning of his slime trail into the WH.

He’s not going to jail, he’s not fleeing the country or any of that crazy fantasy stuff. He’ll be sitting in his resort monday morning quarterbacking whomever takes over the job, doing his usual grievance bullshit and continuing the grift until he finally drops dead.

Have we learned nothing over the past ten years? No one in high position is ever held to account for anything. He’s doing his job, advancing the interests of the ruling class. Just like every other President since FDR.
