Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.
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?
The mob speak is insane, but in reality, would this be grounds to revoke any bail/bonds he’s currently on?
When you’re rich, they let you do it.
“Oh don’t worry, he’s just on vacation and/or has business there, he’ll come back (after he sold other hidden US top secret information)”
They give you your ex best friend’s plane to ride away in
Is Trump actually rich though?
Yes
Venezuela is an odd choice, considering most of his kind have historically fled to Argentina.
He… probably doesn’t know the difference at this point…
Also, Milei is the same kind of crazy he is, wheras he’s been shitting on Maduro and Vz forever.
You’re right, and he probably thought he was saying Argentina.
He’s been shitting on Maduro, but aren’t his tariffs a large part of why Maduro is in power? IIRC, his tariffs basically allowed Maduro to consolidate money and power.
That’s very true
In 2022, it was reported that Vladimir Putin and his top leadership were developing a backup plan to flee to Venezuela if Russia were defeated in Ukraine.
Like a dog. Right to his masters lap, I see.
I don’t disagree with the analogy, but Trump compares people negatively to dogs so often (and famously hates dogs) that I’m not a big fan of it.
Plus, we don’t deserve dogs. They love unconditionally and are extremely loyal if treated right.
I’d say, “Like pond scum. He is going right to the lowest and grossest point of a lake.”
I agree. I would be honored to be compared to a dog. I’d wear that comparison with pride.
Uh, I like this one.
Wow. Hates dogs?!
I love dogs. See it as the one and only positive thing I can say about him. He seems loyal to at least Putin. Who in turn is a dog person himself. Shit, you made me say something good about Putin too. Thanks a lot.
Won’t go to China and be a puppet they can parade around.
Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Cuba would suck for lifestyle and stability.
Brazil has a chance of maybe later changing their minds and wanting them gone.
What an amazing list of allies to turn to. And after all of them thinking Venezuela is the best bet for not ending up like Gaddafi.
Very smart to say this publicly just a couple months before sentencing for 34 felony convictions.
5 weeks until sentencing. In theory
But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.
He did not.
As I explained earlier today, he was commenting about crime decreasing around the world and, if Kamala were elected, it would be safer to meet the person he was speaking with in Venezuela than in the United States.
Underrated comment
Evil commie Venezuela (as Republicans keep painting it)? Is that really the angle he’s going for?
It was in the midst of claiming Venezuela dumped all of its criminals in the US. In Trump’s view Venezuela is safer than the US since America let all the Venezuelan criminals in through that open border.
Yeah, but imagine if it were the 60s and that claim was being made about the USSR, that it’s safer than the US because all the criminals were sent to America, so he’s going to go to the USSR if he loses.
The Republicans are still stuck in “we hate commies” mode. So this is a very weird thing for Trump to say.
So in other words, it’s business as usual then lol
It’s really just balancing the criminal deficit to send them a 34x convicted criminal.
Venezuela is an ally of Russia.
Venezuela is an authoritarian state (for the moment).
Venezuela is thus perfect for Trump.
It all makes more sense when you realize these people don’t know what ‘communism’ or ‘socialism’ are. It’s just an alternative word for ‘bad’ to them. I once heard a Republican blame companies raising gas prices at the pump on ‘socialism’.
Venezuela? that’s an odd choice. He’s distracting us from his Russian emigration plans
Y venezuela no es que va a estar favorable a trump por mucho tiempo
Openly staying that he is going to flee the country… With ongoing court cases. Time to revoke that passport
“No, no, Agent! I am Donald…o Trump…ski. Famous Russian real estate guy and international lover of beautiful ladies. You don’t need my passport because all your friends know me. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF DONALD TRUMP I’M THE PRESIDENT!”
Not trump, that sentence was too coherent
I know, but I can’t downshift hard enough to get into that headspace. I tried.
Wouldn’t that be a violation of his release following being convicted of 34 felonies?
We can make an exception for exile, it’s a fun tradition.
Yeah, leaving could be easy. Coming home on the other hand…
Show us you mean it by fleeing there now. Then stay there to really get the message across.
“The United States isn’t sending their best. They’re sending rapists, they’re criminals…”
Member when he said if he lost to Biden we would never hear from him again? I ‘member
No, but see, he didn’t lose the election was stolen from him. Totally different /s
Flight risk
He said that about Biden winning. He is lying.
