Could Trump Just Run Away?

It occurred to me yesterday that with Trump about to go abroad for the first time as Pres at the end of the week that he might not return. As fast as this is unraveling in the past week it might not be beyond possibility. Say he's over in Italy a week from today and the Repugs finally turn to call for a special prosecutor when they see these memos..

All I'm saying is it wouldn't surprise me at this point. In fact given his ego it seems more likely that he'd just disappear into the ether as opposed to resign or ever admit wrong doing. Then you'd end up with Trumpanzees pitching conspiracies about him being killed by Obama's deep state or some such poop.

He doesn't seem to be enjoying his new job very much, but if he wants out he'll have to figure out a way to quit that his sad, needy ego can tolerate.

That would be great because it would really make repubs look like idiots if they never agreed to prosecute.

To see him get caught by his own Secret Service detail and summarily dragged home in handcuffs.

Although at least in that case you had bloody street protests precipitating the move.
