Let's give Donald Trump some ideas of ways he could avoid prison.

I’m sure from his point of you living out the rest of his days in prison is absolutely not a possibility that he could accept.

Since the alternative would be overthrowing our electoral system and becoming president for life like a tyrant,
what are some escape routes you can think of for him?

sharing this when one of the group yells “suicide”. I think I’d rather see him in prison.

The agreement would have to include no business endeavors of any kind, and no public tweeting or publicity. He would have to live out the rest of his life away from public view--hard for a man like him, but a more palatable alternative to jail. He would be allowed a single property that is not a business to live at quietly. If he broke terms he would immediately be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Alternatively, here’s a map of countries with and without an extradition treaty with the US.

His brand name would be pretty useless, too, and he really has no skills of value.
Would anyone want him?

Someone tweet out to Trump that Barack Obama successfully practices erotic asphyxiation a few times each week for the BEST orgasms ever. Trump won't be able to resist out-asphyxiating himself to beat Obama.

Nice and remote.

He can try his best to be president of the 50 or so remaining inhabitants.

my dearest friend said, "I hear you should put the gun to the back of your throat."

I quit being so dramatic, but I've never forgotten his advice.

They seem to love it so much, they should really consider it.

Although I wouldn't object to his - and his family's - defection to a non-extraditable country.

Then the USG seizes their assets, secures cooperation worldwide freezing him out of access to financing and ability to travel.
