1. I'm hoping for a METEOR that wipes him and all of Mar A Lago off the face of the planet.

Maybe put a large crack in Florida and turn it into its own island nation.

That is the way Desactimonious is running it now anyway.

[MiniMe]

6. Or, Florida finally floods which puts Mar-a-largo under water

[Mike Niendorff]

2. Flees the country -- but not until he has to.

No way he voluntarily surrenders to serve his time.

He's going to be convicted (and I think it will be in ALL of these cases), but he'll still exhaust every angle he can to escape accountability.

But once that's played out, it's game over.

After that: he's looking at Russia or Saudi Arabia.

5. Yeah, he won't flee to Russia

Putin won't take him. He's used up his usefulness.

He's more likely to go to the Arabian peninsula: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain. None have extradition treaties with the USA. My money is on Saudi Arabia, or possibly UAE or Qatar, just based on his past dealings with them.

[Mike Niendorff]

7. I agree.

Saudis or another allied entity would be my best guess too. They've already dumped billions into his golf enterprises and to his son-in-law -- which means they've gotten something of BIG value from him in return. You can bet your ass they'll offer him an out if it comes down to it. Although I also think his longevity afterwards might be pretty limited.

3. Other: Arterial plaque takes him out in a few years. He is found on his golden toilet, phone in-hand

[Takket]

4. he'll be convicted but years of appeals will keep him free until he dies of natural causes

[WestMichRad]

16. This

(sadly)

[Maru Kitteh]

8. One or more convictions, nominal jail time suspended

and he strings it along until he dies before sleeping in jail.

9. My prediction

10. Nice post Terry Tate

[edhopper]

12. Actually

It is Mr T from Rocky III.

[Celerity]

13. better

11. I wouldn't put it past the court to remand Trump directly into custody

Courts give convicted criminals a certain amount of time before sentencing to get their affairs in order - arrange for the care of their families, store their property, purge the child pornography the cops haven't found yet from their computers, things like that. Because Trump runs an LLC that handles his personal affairs, that time won't be necessary.

There are two other reasons - better ones - for Trump to go straight to prison.

Donald Trump owns a Cessna Citation X. What you need to know about a Citation X is that it'll fly 3600 miles on one tank of fuel, and it can land on VERY small airstrips - small enough that if you turn off your ADSB system and transponders so ATC radar can't track you, flying to just about any general aviation field on earth is possible. Once you leave the US, your general aviation fields are going to have the proper fuel for this aircraft.

He also has a large contingent of very rabid fans who would hide him in Ammon Bundy's house because they know the cops refuse to go out there.

[lees1975]

14. So many of the charges in each case are related,

it would be difficult to imagine him convicted for just one thing. I think there's enough evidence for convictions on everything and he'll spend the rest of his life in some federal country club style prison.

There's a risk that he might flee to Russia. So he needs to be held over for trial, to guarantee he's still around and to make sure it goes to trial before he has a chance to win the GOP nomination.

[Hekate]

15. He ends like his father: senile & mocked by his children, who steal from him

[Silent3]

17. One or more convictions, but plays for time so long he croaks before having to report...

...to prison, or before having to submit to whatever mild substitute, like house arrest, he might get.

[ecstatic]

18. heart attack. A guy on tv said that most normal people are

completely overwhelmed by 1 criminal case or 1 felony. This MFer has 3 indictments in 3 different jurisdictions, 78 felony counts and MORE felonies pending in at least 1 more state. The fact that he is completely removed from reality might help him to compartmentalize and block out what's happening, but I don't know. Surely he knows he's fucked.
