Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

    The mob speak is insane, but in reality, would this be grounds to revoke any bail/bonds he’s currently on?

      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.

    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 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.

    Imagine if the Project 2025 plans to question the results and bring it to the corrupt supreme court all failed because Trump impulsively fled? Would be hilarious

    In the context of what he was talking about, it seemed like that was his weird way of trying to make Venezuela sound like a better place than what America would be under Kamala Harris. Best thing you can do really is just completely ignore this guy because he thrives on attention, negative or positive.
