Yep, I'm not clicking that. So the headline will have to do
Tabloids are not gonna work for me
Openly staying that he is going to flee the country... With ongoing court cases. Time to revoke that passport

I'd ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.
Yeah, there's no way. However, if he said if he wins he knows Kamala is going to flee the country, I would 100% bet everything I own he's taking off. Projection is real.
I'm sure Maduro will welcome him with open arms.
This is slightly at odds with many Republican legislators because many people fleeing Venezuela are firmly on the right. When DeSantis did his whole transporting Texas asylum seekers, one of the main issues was that money for that was not to be used for people fleeing Venezuela.
Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we'd all be better off.
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.
That would be awesome he'd get a fair'trial there Im sure.
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...

Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don't turn into positives? Like "Tampon Tim" ...."He's going to stop the red wave!" Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.
Edit: "chip" in. Economy of course.
I'd rather this become terms for jailing him now. Sounds like a potential flight risk ahead of sentencing for his 34 felony counts.
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.
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
Lol Venezuela would promptly send him back after he serves his life sentence for trying to overthrow their government.
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.

Venezuela is an odd choice, considering most of his kind have historically fled to Argentina.
That's very true
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... probably doesn't know the difference at this point...
Trump should fear failing Putin more than anything the USA would do.
If he takes his cult members with him, that would be great as well
Does he know they don’t speak English there?
He barely speaks English as it is
Very smart to say this publicly just a couple months before sentencing for 34 felony convictions.
5 weeks until sentencing. In theory
Cool story bro.
They wouldn’t want him, either.
Do it!
(he won't do it)
Didn't he say he'll leave the US in 2020?
"I don't think I'm going to lose, but if I do, I don't think you're ever going to see me again, folks,"

He says a lot of things.
