(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

How wild that would be. Withdrawal all his campaign donations and just up and go to Russia. He could put a spin on it and make his base extremely upset and violent because the evil left forced him to flee because it's all rigged.

They should have never allowed a bond to be set. He should have just been kept in jail until the trial. Any of us normies would have had to...

He violated his bail conditions almost straight away, of course. Just as everyone expected him to.

The question will be whether he gets locked up for that.

Who says he has to forfeit campaign donations? He can just have it all funneled to some Swiss bank account or Bitcoin. His followers are total morons and will gladly send whatever money they have, wherever he's located.

Withdraw as in cash out and carry it to Russia in a canvas sack with a dollar sign on it

Ah, my bad. Thanks for the clarification.
