Trump gripes on Truth Social that indictments are keeping him from PGA championship in Scotland

In the midst of a considerable amount of legal woes, Trump appears to be spending his Sunday focusing on what's most important to him presently . . . golf.

"I can’t go. I have to stay around and fight off the Crazed Radical Left Lunatics," Trump says

Trump wasn't labeled as a flight risk, even though he should be.

So what's keeping him from traveling abroad? Bail bondsman conditions? Advice from his lawyers?

Advice from his lawyers?

When has that stopped him from doing anything?

Part of being arrested is they confiscate passports. The only way he can enter another country is if they give him asylum

Maybe for normal people. He didn’t surrender his passport.

I've not heard that he surrendered his passports yet

I doubt they need to physically take his passport. I'm pretty sure that can be revoked by the DoS at any time. Also with how public this is, I doubt any airport would even allow Trump onto the premises at all, for fear of what may happen if they somehow let him escape.

He does have a private jet. It’s not like Trump is going up to the ticket counter at American Airlines and asking for a ticket, then proceeding to go through TSA for an x-ray or a pat down.

That is also true, but he would still have to file a flight plan. Otherwise those pilots might as well get asylum too, they would never fly again in the US if they took off without filing an FAA flight plan.

The feds did not do this, it was reported. Didn't hear about Georgia, so maybe they did it there.

Scotland doesn’t want him there. Why would they?

He's out on bail in four different jurisdictions. I'm sure one of them has a "no international travel" condition.
