(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

If he flees his assets would be seized.

He isn’t fleeing. It doesn’t make any sense to flee. He’s not going to prison. He’ll be fined or home detention.

Putin would promise Trump limitless wealth, a fresh new wife, and oligarch status for residence in Moscow. Trump would enjoy this status until he was no longer of use to Putin.

Putin is dying. I do not think he would want to risk anything with Trump. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Maybe North Korea would take him in.

Nah, he would make Trump acting head of the Central Donbas Army. Promoted straight to a 3 star general. Forced to command the front line troops against the Ukrainian offensive from the trenches with an old rusty AK-47.

Hope he likes Hi, Mars.
