You’re assuming that he has assets and you’re assuming that he has left them in the US.
There’s a lot of history saying that corrupt heads of state, of the stupid sort, flee the country and go into self-imposed exile.
I’m a big believer in learning from history. It’s not always right, but it’s better than spit-balling.
Definitely Saudi Arabia. He loved that globe thingy. He’s also too much of a coward to go to Russia. But the real answer is pardons all around.
Saudi Arabia has too much financial dependence on the US and he doesn’t have any property there.
He has property in the UAE but, again, they’re close to the US.
So what?
The last thing a Democratic President needs is for the Trump soap opera to continue, with daily tweets during his trials and, if he loses, endless state and federal appeals – and, if he wins, for the rest of his life.
Having DJT trapped in a country with limited Internet freedom would be, for the Democrats, just too good to be true. I don’t think it will happen, but it’s a nice dream.
I feel like I directly addressed this in post #4765, almost immediately after you posted it, and you seemed to have glossed over it.
Unless you’re very very cynical, I would suggest that if nothing else gets rid of him that term limits will.
He can only go for eight years. Ain’t no more than that.
If reelected, he will not finish a second term. I don’t think that he’ll live that long. (Not advocating, just predicting.)
who is suggesting otherwise, except some nuts who think he will get re-elected and then install himself as Dictator for Life. To focus back on the question I raised, I think Trump is guilty of multiple crimes, I just don’t see any criminal convictions coming, as much as I would like to see them.
I predict, after his hospital visit, he will completely change direction and become one of the most popular presidents of all time. He will make difficult budget cuts to benefit social programs and even be filmed playing with underprivileged children. He will easily win a second term and serve admirably until a former staffer implicates him a serious crime which can’t be ignored at which time he’ll suffer a relapse of his original medical emergency and slip into a coma resulting in President Pence.
Or did I watch *Dave*last night and I just need more sleep?
You are agreeing with Nancy Pelosi, who says The President is not above the law.
I think she’s wrong. But I can’t prove it. Yet.
It’s true that the whole self-pardon thing is questionable.
But, in the end, the law is what the Supreme Court says it is. And at the point in time they’d have to decide this, most of them will be, as today, GOP political appointees.
We’ll know for sure, in ten years or less, who is right – me, who says Donald Trump is above the law, or Speaker Pelosi, who says he isn’t.
P.S. There’s one law I think Trump isn’t above. It’s the Constitutional provision that says he has to vacate the White House after eight years, or four year if he isn’t re-elected. However, he has talked about being above that law. And he’s friends with people like Putin and Erdoğan who point the way to retaining office despite term limits. So even though I think Trump isn’t above this one law, I’m not confident.
If Trump was not such an idiot, he would be one of the most popular Presidents ever, not just among Republicans. The economy is good, so he’s got that (not that he had anything to do with it). If he were to just say that he has reevaulated some of his positions, that working with the Congress on immigration reform instead of building a wal was a better idea, and that he would work with the Congress on other issues like infrastructure. Just move towards the center instead of continually moving hard right. But to do that, he would have to admit he was wrong. All he wants is to be loved, and he is too fucking stupid to do the things that would get that love.
You can’t even find evidence of a quid pro quo, so your claims of “no evidence!” ring as hollow as Jared Kushner’s resume.
OK I’ll correct you. Ford’s pardon of Nixon read in part: “by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.”
I don’t think he was indicted for anything. Remember he was an unindicted co-conspirator. But even if he was indicted, Ford pardoned him for anything he might have done which clearly includes things, if any, he wasn’t indicted for.
Remember also the 1915 Supreme Court decision in Burdick v. United States suggested that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt.
Well hell duplicate post. Ignore this one.

Yep. Nixon was never indicted for anything, as I fear Trump will not be.
The Democrats attempt on my presidency has left me scarred and deformed. But, I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger!
How is it that so many anti-Trump Americans sincerely think that the most successful American confidence man of our time is an idiot?
Perhaps the mistaken idea that “all he wants is to be loved” explains it.
If DJT was personality-tested against David McClelland’s motivation theory, he’d be highest on unsocialized need for power. He’d be low on need for achievement*, as is probably normal for a politician. Not so normal is his low need for affiliation with other people AKA what you call love. With regard to that last, think what the absence of DJT, from this book page, tells us about the President:
Donald Jr., Tristan, and Mike Pence
Have you heard him try to speak? Have you read his Tweets? People that know him have said he’s a “Fucking moron”. A professor at Wharton College said “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”
He’s a good con man because he has/had (American banks have disowned him so he turned to Russia) power and money to use as pressure and protection. His problem is that now, he doesn’t have the ability to buy (most) people off or threaten them to go away (although he tries).
When he was called on trying to extort Ukraine (one of our allies for gods sake) for his own gain, he released a transcript of the “perfect” phone call that showed that he had done just that.
Come on PhillyGuy. You know he’s an idiot. The last three years is proof.
It also opens a campaign finance fund, where huge sums of money come in, swirl around and find ways into his personal pocket.
He campaigns at MAGA rallies a lot. They are the only people that are still fooled.
Or ever where fooled.
