(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

His spectacular lack of self-awareness means that everything he says is projection.

If he does flee can he please take elmo with him?

Bad nickname. Elmo is more of a man than Musk will ever be, and Musk is more of a muppet.

If he flees, can we shoot down his jet?

That would be pretty tricky since he is an ex-president. But could the government really risk letting an ex-president and their information fall into another countries hands?

I would be a pretty tough incident to handle.

Most of that government consists of that other country's assets, so yes.
