Trump Suggests He Might ‘Fly Far Away, Maybe To Russia’ To Avoid Criminal Trials

Clearly feeling the pressure of the four criminal trials he’s facing, disgraced one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump held a pity party for himself on social media and openly suggested that he might abscond to Russia in order to avoid having to serve a day in prison for his crimes.

On Monday, attorneys for the failed ex-president reached a deal with Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis to surrender in Atlanta on Thursday, Aug. 24 for arraignment, booking, and processing. After he posts a $200,00 bail, Trump will be allowed to return home.

However, shortly after news of the surrender deal was made, Trump posted this on his struggling Truth Social site:

The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me. I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a “flight” risk – I’d fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir, never to be seen or heard from again. Would I be able to take my very “understated” airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see. Probably not, I’d be much better off flying commercial – I’m sure nobody would recognize me!

Trump has already been warned in other jurisdictions that he should be careful about what he posts on social media, and yet he’s now suggesting he might want to flee to Russia, which doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the United States.

Even if Trump is just joking (is he?), any accused criminal defendant who made a similar posting would likely be in custody and held without bond until their trial. Yet Donnie continues to walk free.

  • It wouldn't be remotely surprising if Trump did flee the country. He'd be insane to go to Russia though; Putin has no use for him, and people that Putin doesn't want around have a habit of being poisoned or falling out of tall buildings.
