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?
My question would be, "why wait?"
Evidently many Lemmy users don’t understand that this a threat, not a promise to leave. Direct quote from Trump:
"If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we'll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it'll be a far safer place to meet than our country," Trump said to Musk. "OK, so we'll go. You and I will go, and we'll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela."
He’s implying the violence that will be unleashed on the US by his followers if he looses will make Venezuela (a country that is currently in revolt because of contested elections) seem safe in comparison to what his people will do here.
This is a classic “mobster” threat against anyone who opposes him that he just threw out.
Or he's saying that America under Kamala Harris will be so bad that it won't be safe because of "open boarders" and whatever other bullshit he spouts.
That fucking mobster threat is his calling card. I received a trump email that was about voting and at the very bottom it had that sleeping with the fishes quote. Straight up didn't fit at all but they shoe horned it in there to try and scare people into voting for him.
I remember when the protests and people upset at the 2016 election were somehow ultra violent and murderous even though they never attacked anyone. I also remember when Charlie Kirk claimed that Republicans, unlike democrats, would not lose their shit if they lost. We all know how that went.
You need to remember something about Trump. He IS mobster in the end of the day. When he and his father were getting shit done at the start of his career they had to work with the mafia and build contacts with them. This is also why he was somewhat able to get stuff working in New York construction during the 80s. When he became a pariah the only people who still worked with him are basically criminal types and foreign governments who knew how easy it was to sway him.
Trump said they will start a revolution if they lose and now they say they will leave the country if they lose?
They want other people to get them in power while they just wait in another country?
I'm sure they'd LOVE to have him after all the things he's said about their country
Wonder what Venezuela has to say about that.
Sounds like he’s a flight risk.
I know he intended this as hyperbole but I 100% would not be surprised if the reason this popped into his head is because he's been making arrangements for exactly this.
If I were him I wouldn't want to hang around in the US after a loss in November. It's all or bust.
He’ll have some trouble if he actually tries. Secret service detail for former presidents and all.
What is the protocol for that I wonder, if he is found guilty in the court of law and tries to go into hiding, what does their job tell them they have to do?
Interpol being notified? Escaped felons should be
So there's Epstein's second "island", I see.
Haven't the Venezuelans to deal with enough shit?
He is like "Who around here is the most down, so I can kick them even more?"
Why wait?
Let's start a GoFundMe.
I've heard this before. What a baby.
I wonder if Venezuela is actually a good choice for him or if he just wants to be associated with actual nazi commanders?
Wasn't that Argentina?
Argentina, Venezuela, USA, the Catholic Church, Spain, Croatia, Finland, Chile, Bolivia, the USSR, etc.
The phenomenon of Nazi escape routes across the world was commonly referred to as "the ratlines".
He said that about Biden winning. He is lying.
