I don’t think he’ll flee to Russia. I think Putin probably won’t have much use for him once he’s out of office. Instead, I think he’ll flee to Saudi Arabia where the king can show him off, and where Trump would be kept in a golden palace – which seems to comport with his ‘tastes’. ---

Unfortunately I don’t think they still have harems or need eunuchs to watch over them. Still they might find some other use for him. I don’t care where he goes, just that he does. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > North Korea is the destination, of course. He’s in love with KJU after all. Seriously: If Little Donnie Fail-Fail can’t stay in New York for fear of being arrested, it would have to be Saudi Arabia. North Korea isn’t posh enough, and I think he’d chafe under the restrictions. Russia would probably not be to his liking, especially [del]if[/del] when Putin starts giving him shade. He’s ‘friends’ with the king of Saudi Arabia, and the king would like having a pet (former) U.S. president. He’d be put up in palatial quarters with lots of gold decorations and other gauche trumpery. He’d be in an area where many financial deals are undertaken. They have golf courses. He doesn’t drink, so he won’t run afoul of _that_ restriction. I really think that he’ll go to Saudi Arabia if he can’t stay here. ---

One can’t expect the President of the United States to know the name of every CEO, can one? Let’s ignore that Mr. Apple is not the founder of Apple. That’s just a minor quibble. ---

He called the old-glory-grope “cheerfully photogenic” :rolleyes: and complained that, although the speech was meh, the media were intent upon attacking it with the “fact check monkeys”.
