Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.
He said that about Biden winning. He is lying.
Alternative headline “Donald trump lies again”
Maybe if we’re lucky a bunch of his stupid base will emigrate there early thinking they’ll be able to setup for him.
Jim Jones 2.0?
Maybe not. Historically Venezuela has not extradited criminals.
That would be awesome he’d get a fair’trial there Im sure.
In context it was more of a stupid joke:
he’ll have to go to venezuela because its safer now that they sent all their criminals to the US
Any way to make that legally binding?
If he takes his cult members with him, that would be great as well
Well if that’s not a reason to vote for Kamala, I don’t know what is.
Since he’s a big fibber, maybe she could make it an election promise to enforce it.
I wish. But didn’t he say the same thing prior to losing to Biden? Didn’t happen then and won’t happen now…
Lol Venezuela would promptly send him back after he serves his life sentence for trying to overthrow their government.
I bet he’ll run for president there too, and then fail, and then flee to another country that’s most likely allied with Venezuela.
Can we get that in writing?
Yet another campaign promise he will likely break.
As a former President, can he?
I’m not American, but my assumption was that the President’s role was one for life, in that he will always have a presidential security detail with him, and while he can travel abroad it’s probably only to countries with good diplomatic ties with the US.
A former President moving outside of a friendly jurisdiction could be a huge security issue that he couldn’t just wave away.
He can do anything he wants. There are rules they follow for decorum, receiving security briefings, and retaining secret service protection.
If Trump were to move to Venezuela, for example, I can’t imagine that they would support him both living there, potentially interfering as a man of influence, and retaining what is essentially a foreign militia on his grounds.
I’m sure that he could do what he wants by US rules, especially since there’s probably no written rule somewhere that a former president can’t just move abroad to retire, but what countries would afford him that kind of freedom, knowing that he supported a coup in his own country?
Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we’d all be better off.
Could he though? Isn’t he on bail?
Yup, out on bail while he awaits sentencing for the 34 felonies. And more charges are tied up in courts until after the election, but prosecutors have already started proceedings so he’d also be considered a flight risk for those cases.
My question would be, “why wait?”
