We all know how this is going to end, right?

He'll get his fans to buy his shitty token, and maybe even keep custody on his platform. Then if he loses the election, he's gonna flee to Russia via Venezuela, while pulling the rug out from under all those "investors" and taking it all. Then he will publically state that Harris must have directed the NSA to hack his site. He can live out his remaining time in Russia as a wanna-be oligarch, and Putin will treat him like a leader-in-exile.

Yep. Except that's only until he runs his mouth and has a tragic fall from a window.

If I where to place a bet, I would say 3 months, tops.

Honestly think he'd be safer in North Korea. Kim Jong Un could at least see him as an ally of "the world is against us."

Putin already views Trump as a puppy that makes messes on the carpet... while running a dog fighting ring.

The fucked up thing is he’ll never leave the US, and he’ll never face consequences.
