Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

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.

Does he know they don’t speak English there?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

He barely speaks English as it is

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 8 points 3 months ago

Does Venezuela give consent? I guess that's never mattered before anyway.

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yep, I'm not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Tabloids are not gonna work for me

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.

Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don't turn into positives? Like "Tampon Tim" ...."He's going to stop the red wave!" Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.

Edit: "chip" in. Economy of course.

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

I'd rather this become terms for jailing him now. Sounds like a potential flight risk ahead of sentencing for his 34 felony counts.

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mr. Trump, you don't need to run there, start early and you can walk.

That would be awesome he'd get a fair'trial there Im sure.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Of all the times for that treasonous orange shit to lie, why did it have to be this one?

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Haven't the Venezuelans to deal with enough shit?

He is like "Who around here is the most down, so I can kick them even more?"

[–] Otakulad@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

If he is being serious, please take all the MAGA Kool aid drinkers with you.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Wonder what Venezuela has to say about that.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

I've heard this before. What a baby.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Interpol being notified? Escaped felons should be

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

My question would be, "why wait?"

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I bet he'll run for president there too, and then fail, and then flee to another country that's most likely allied with Venezuela.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Is that a promise?

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

So there's Epstein's second "island", I see.

[–] Imprudent3449@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Yes please. Unfortunately, he's lieing his ass off as usual.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Any way to make that legally binding?
