Nah. I wouldn't mind as long as he was broke and broken.

He might never be heard from again, though. I think I could live with that.

except to keep him quiet.

Perhaps Putin would throw him out of an airplane, like in James Bond.

I'm beginning to think he'll surreptitiously depart the US, probably not via AF One. Maybe for Russia. Maybe for another country without extradition. But definitely with the family, excluding Melania,who will turn her back to him so that he can read the slightly modified printing on the back: I don't really care.

if he lost all his money and tried had to pay the going rate at the Formerly Trump golf resorts. We need a list like Manafort's of the forfeited property. Attacks on real estate must really scare Trump.

He was speculating about putin flying his puppet out of the US and giving him a dacha. I haven't heard anyone go that far until now.

There is way too much secure communications, countermeasures, crypto gear, and other extremely sensitive components and systems on board to just have it all turned over to anyone else. Lots of stuff that we really don't want to do a technology transfer with.

He only gets to keep a few seats, his bed (who would want to sleep in *that* after he had used it???), a desk, and the toilet. And maybe part of the galley.

He gets *just* enough fuel to reach a specified destination, and if there happens to be a headwind or anything that forces the aircraft to use more fuel than calculated...well, that's just too bad!
