"The United States isn't sending their best. They're sending rapists, they're criminals..."
If he is being serious, please take all the MAGA Kool aid drinkers with you.
I hate Trump, but this framing is disingenuous. In the context of what he was saying, he was trying to make "a point" about South American countries sending criminals to the USA. He was claiming that if he doesn't win the election, it would be safer to have their next conversation in Venezuela because there would be no crime there as they'd have sent all criminals to USA.
So, you know, just more of his really stupid bullshit, but he wasn't really saying he would flee to Venezuela. For one, that would require him to believe he had done something wrong or to admit some kind of defeat, two things that I firmly believe he is incapable of doing.

Is that a promise?
I wish. But didn't he say the same thing prior to losing to Biden? Didn't happen then and won't happen now...
Flight risk
Mr. Trump, you don't need to run there, start early and you can walk.
Put him on a bus.
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
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.
lol, adding more reason to vote against himself every day. Gotta love it
As a convicted felon he can't vote for or against himself
Ed: if there was any justice in the world

Yes please. Unfortunately, he's lieing his ass off as usual.
Of all the times for that treasonous orange shit to lie, why did it have to be this one?
Does Venezuela give consent? I guess that's never mattered before anyway.
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 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.
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.

Venezuela? that's an odd choice. He's distracting us from his Russian emigration plans

Show us you mean it by fleeing there now. Then stay there to really get the message across.
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.
They give you your ex best friend’s plane to ride away in
"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)"

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.
It's really just balancing the criminal deficit to send them a 34x convicted criminal.
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.
