Twitter, owned by Musk, fought for months for the right to tell Trump about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for his account.

    I’ve been convinced for a while now that if Trump felt he was actually headed to jail his last desperate act would be to try to flee to North Korea to hide behind his crazy bestie Kim (who would absolutely love the drama of having an ex-POTUS as his puppet to parade around and try to shame the US with).

      Nah, he’d go for Russia. Not enough diet Coke or well done-steaks with ketchup for Donnie in NK.

        Maybe Saudi Arabia. Russia’s too cold.

        I don’t doubt that Trump would want to go to Russia but Putin would never agree to that when he could have all the same benefits if Donnie was in NK and none of the negatives of having him in Russia. Kim is crazy enough that he wouldn’t care and would enjoy all the extra scrutiny and attention.

          Kim isn’t crazy. He was raised from birth believing he is the divine ruler of a people and received a modern education. He is acting in the best interests of the state he leads. It just happens that most of us on this platform likely live in a part of the world where those interests don’t make sense or are hard to see or just don’t seem important. But that’s an “us” problem.

          His public persona in the West is a combination of propaganda from multiple angles, much like we see around Russia and China, too.

          I’m not saying that he is a good leader or has the health of North Koreans in mind, but be aware that not everything you hear about living in North Korea is necessarily accurate (and not necessarily due to outside actors, either).

            Anyone believing they are a divine ruler has delusions, and can’t operate in anyones best interest as he believes he has no peers

            You’ve convinced me North Korea is a secret paradise. Booking a flight now.

      How long would Trump actually survive if he lived in North Korea? Do they have McDonalds and Diet Coke?

        You do know that just because a country is poor doesn’t mean the upper crust can’t scrounge enough money to buy a cheese burger right?

          Just look at Kim, does he look like a man who goes wanting?
