The Trump plan to flee the U.S. is getting blowback. Scotland says they will not allow Trump to stay at his money-losing golf course there.** Trump is likely to go with a stopover in Scotland and then take a second plane somewhere else. People think that will be Turkey but they have an extradition agreement with the U.S. A more likely hidey-hole is the UAE where Trump has a warm weather golf course, and has no extradition agreement with the U.S.
** By the way, golf course having been making money during the pandemic. But Trump has somehow managed to lose $90 million at his courses. A horrible businessman, or an obvious tax cheat to the extreme? Likely both.
UAE would be a big gamble for him. They would be under massive global pressure to release him to the US, and would face some very undesirable consequences. What would they get in return for letting him stay? Not worth it.
