Trump and Family Soon To Be on the Lam?

All kidding aside, it’s very likely that, at some point, Trump will be eyeing this very dilemma: where to go to escape the long arm of the law.

The choices narrow when we realize that he needs a lawless country, i.e., a dictatorship. Now, there are plenty of authoritarian regimes from which to choose; in fact, this planet sports 50 dictatorships (19 in Sub-Saharan Africa, 12 in the Middle East and North Africa, 8 in Asia-Pacific, 7 in Eurasia, 3 in Americas and 1 in Europe).

Of course, it’s doubtful that the fleeing conman and family are going to want to live out their lives in Angola or Uzbekistan.  He’s pretty much forced into either Russia or Saudi Arabia, both of which are brutal autocracies, run by butchers who are quite friendly to the most famous escapee from justice in world history.
