Lately I've been wondering where Trump would run if the Democrats win the mid-terms and impeachment is inevitable.......

Well, it seems that in 2020 Politico wondered the same thing and made a list of twelve places. Of the six places listed below, which place do you think would be most welcoming? Check the article for the answer (this could have changed since 2020).

[vapor2]

1. UAE, Saudi Arabia or Qatar

[33taw]

7. Qatar is my vote, but he will not be removed from office (in my opinion).

[Tim S]

8. I figure FBI investigations would open for every Democratic congress member with constant leaks

[samnsara]

9. my vote as well.. Andrew formerly known as Prince is rumored to be

..eyeing that esp if the cops get close to arresting him.

[ITAL]

2. Nowhere

Even if Trump's impeached, he's not getting convicted. Even if we get to say...52 seats in the Senate you're still talking about peeling off fifteen Republicans to vote for his removal. I could squint hard and perhaps see 5-6, but not fifteen.

[DBoon]

3. Budapest

Orban and Trump are co-dependent autocrats

[leftstreet]

4. He'll just beach himself at Mar A Lago

No one is going to charge him with any actual crimes

Impeached, maybe. Removed, maybe.

He'll just have even more time to rant on social media

[Deep State Witch]

5. Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Or Argentina

Most likely Hungary or Saudi Arabia.

[LuvLoogie]

6. Hungary, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Behind a moat with gators at Mara-guano, where he will shout "pew pew"

while shooting invisible lasers from an ordinary-looking TV remote control . . . .

[NCDem47]

11. The Middle East for sure.

One, they all love that gaudy gold gilt everything.

Two, Those countries love to straddle the line between the legit/respectable and the dark underworld.

Trump would fit right in.

He is just NOT the eastern Europe/Russia kind of guy.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. This is a silly poll

First of all, Africa is not a country, it’s a continent made up of numerous nations.

Trump is not “running” anywhere- if he were to “take it on the lam” to avoid facing criminal charges, his assets would be frozen/seized.

The only countries that would accept him as a guest would be the Saudis/UAE or Russia under Putin.

But he’s not going anywhere, because the odds are in his favor that he will never face any federal charges, and will die before any state charges ever come to trial.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Well, as I said, things could have changed since Politico published the article in 2020.

As, for Africa. Yes, my bad. I should have said, 'places', not countries.

[msongs]

13. impeachment means nothing unless the senate votes to convict and that is unlikely nt

[Joinfortmill]

20. Even just a few months ago, I would have agreed. Now, I'm not so sure.

[Jack Valentino]

42. YES, conviction of Trump by a GOP dominated US Senate is very unlikely--- ALTHOUGH

Trump's 2nd impeachment trial over his inciting the J-6 insurrection
was the FIRST presidential impeachment trial where ANY senators EVER
voted to convict a president from their own party!

(6 Republican senators voted to convict him, although it wasn't enough)


((How many might conclude, in a third trial
based on his more recent crimes, that
'we would be better off without him going into 2028'
is still an open question...))

[doc03]

14. We would have to win the Senate which

is not very possible. The House already impeached him twice and if anything it
got worse.

[Joinfortmill]

24. You may be right, but I think the Epstein scandal is going to get much worse. And, I think that changes everything.

[doc03]

39. Yes the Epstein scandal seems to snowballing.

It reminds me of Watergate, it started out as a
simple breakin and ended with Nixon resigning.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. He's Not Running

The Robert's mob gave him immunity. He can't be convicted because of that ridiculous ruling & he we won't be convicted in the Senate.
There's nothing from which to run.

[Joinfortmill]

25. I believe they ruled he was immune from official acts while in office. This is not that.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. While True...

...I believe they will construe anything he does as official, even ig it means using an imaginary calendar.
Electing dems will neuter him, but it won't remove him.

[flvegan]

16. Lately I've been wondering what car I'll buy if I win the Powerball jackpot and take the single payout. n/t

[Joinfortmill]

26. Ok. I wish you well. I try to play nice.

[2naSalit]

17. Africa isn't a country...

It's a continent within which there is a country called So. Africa.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Politico only listed Africa. My bad.

[2naSalit]

35. I figured it wasn't you...

As you said it's Politico's.

[WarGamer]

22. Impeachment without conviction/removal is purely performative...

1) He won't be convicted even IF he's impeached by the House.

2) I'm not even sure if a DEM House will be 100% in favor due to the lame duck status

3) I don't think he's going to serve til 2029... I think he'll claim total victory and quit to give Vance a 2028 head start.

[Joinfortmill]

27. That's possible. But, I don't think he's going to escape this. It's only going to get worse.

[mvd]

23. Russia would be my vote

His buddy Putin would welcome him.

[Joinfortmill]

28. I agree. Interestingly, Russia was not number one on Politico's list.

[Ritabert]

30. No way he's going to Russia given the availability of polonium and windows

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. Luxembourg wouldn't want him there.

I'm related to about half the country, and they all hate him.

[Joinfortmill]

32. Check out what Politico printed. This was in 2020, so there's that.

[Johonny]

33. The general thought is there wont be any trials

Particularly if the GOP hold the senate or a 50/50 senate.

It would be better served just with hearings in the house, rather than the impeachment performance.

[gulliver]

34. Impeachment is a Republican talking point

They're actually trying to discredit our House agenda by saying we're only going to do 24x7 impeachment proceedings. The less said about impeachment the better.

As noted by other posters, there's zero chance Trump would be convicted in the Senate. I think there's almost no chance he would even be impeached. And if we did it, it would be dumb.

[Joinfortmill]

36. You may be right. But, I think the Epstein Files' have changed everything. And, more is to come.

[OC375]

37. Been there, done that

Unfortunately, I don't think it's on his mind at all, to be honest.

[Blue Owl]

38. Hopefully into the path of an oncoming steamroller

[Jack Valentino]

40. You mean 'where he would run TO', not 'where he would run'

because he wouldn't run too well anywhere now---
with pollsters now showing that he would now LOSE to Kamala by 8 percentage points,
if we held a "do over" for the 2024 presidential election today....!

https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-data-guru-delivers-bad-news-to-trump-about-2024-election-re-do/


Too bad we don't have 'national recall electons', in this case!

[Jack Valentino]

41. And RUSSIA is not listed as an option?? Seems the best choice for Trump to flee to,

to me....

although I think he is too stupid and dementia-ridden to attempt to run anywhere

[Joinfortmill]

45. It was one of the 12 listed in Politico. I chose 6 of the 12

Russia was a 'welcome' in the Politico article. I didn't choose Russia because I think there is a chance Putin would refuse him for his own reasons.

[sarisataka]

43. *sigh*

[ColoringFool]

44. Nowhere To Run To, Baby; Nowhere To Hide.
