And Trump always listens to his lawyers.
If he fled to the UAE or Saudi Arabia, what's the likelihood they'd turn him over? According to Google, neither country has an extradition treaty with the US...
He won't flee the country because that would mean admitting he has a reason to flee. It's tantamount to admitting he made a mistake, which is the one thing he absolutely lacks the balls for. Staying and defying the courts lets him play up his martyr complex.
He's not missed an indictment yet. He's well aware of what he can push and what will push back, because he knows what will make things worse for him. Just like he knows to plead to the fifth when under oath instead of all his usual boastful bullshit.
Trumps an idiot, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing. That's just how ******* screwed he is.
Well, that and russians don't have any money to grift.
They do, but it's all parked in Florida.
And his buddy Putin is too busy failing his own war to wipe Trump's ass right now.

Trump seems determined to cement his place in history as America's Crimingest President.
45 has been indicted on 4 counts on the Jan 6th insurrection!
Neat. We'll add it to the pile of "still waiting for this jive to matter".
It'll matter once he's actually at trial for it.
Which will also mostly coincide with the general election. I'm honestly looking forward to the chaos on the republican side when they have to find and field "plan B", and everyone will see why it's trumps party. It'll be glorious.
Guliani already flipped, I think eastman did too. You can't go under the bus when you riding it.
To answer my own question, according to the Guardian's coverage:
Also the assigned judge is an Obama appointee, Tanya S Chutkan, who's delivered some harsher than requested sentences to Jan 6 defendants.
Yup, he can still run, but I believe a few states have laws baring him from being put on the ballot due to the charges. The bulk of said states with said laws already weren't gonna vote for him, though, so it won't make much of a difference. Frankly I hope he looses his GA or NY case before the election. Be kinda hard to run an administration from a state prison and he can't pardon himself from those charges.
Jack smiths other case will determine if he's committed treason, and will affect his ability to run for office. Just need to wait for that one, and it'll probably drop at a hilariously inopportune time for trump.
It will also expose the republicans whom are willing to continue to shill for a literal traitor to the republic. It's going to be FUN! next year.
