Would the Saudis even take him if he was no longer useful? ---

I don’t think they would. He’d be pretty useless as a source of intelligence, unhinged, rambling and dumb like he is, and the Saudis hiding him would mean a great rift in the American-Saudi relations which are a difficult love/hate relationship anyway. ---

He’s not only useless, he’s also broke. ---

That’d be no concern for the Saudis, they have enough money of their own. ---

> [@from Johnny\_L.A's quoted article](#): > > Trump is growing more alarmed that life behind prison walls might be an inevitability – and he is increasingly desperate to find a way out… I don’t think Trump is scared, I think he is PISSED. He has overwhelming support from the Republican party. He is going to the their nominee. I think he is angry that his popularity doesn’t make all this go away. Popularity is the only measure he knows for anything in life. Witness his obsession with polls, ratings, attendance at events. In his pea-brain, he just can’t fathom how his “numbers” don’t trump any stupid legal charges. So he keeps yelling about how unfair it is that the most popular politician in the world can be treated like this. ---

Isn’t it Edward? Edit… he could crash on the couch. I don’t think Snowden would let him around him willingly, though. ---

You’re right. Don’t know where I got Eric from. Honestly, I wouldn’t wish Trump on Snowden, but it would probably make some MAGA heads explode. ---

Trump has been really ranting on his social network. Being all tough guy. I saw someone refer to him as Yambo and I think it’s my new favorite nickname for him. ---
