Donald Trump Jr. suggested he would flee the country if his father loses the presidential election so he doesn’t ‘end up in the gulags,’
In an Election Day live video on TikTok, the 46-year-old businessman took a question from a follower who asked what he would do once the race was called.
‘If we don’t win, then I’ll probably, you know, the way the Democrats function, I’m going to have to fly to a non-extradition country and just, you know, take up shop there so I don’t end up in the gulags with Elon [Musk] and everyone else,’ Trump Jr. said as filters flashed across his face.
He went on to say that he was ‘only partially kidding about that, frankly.
‘And if you’ve been watching the other side, you realize that is probably only partially kidding,’ the former first son said.

He said that if his father were to win a second term, he would likely ‘be fairly busy on transition’
If former President Donald Trump were to win a second term, however, Trump Jr. said he would likely ‘be fairly busy on transition,’ referring to the team tasked with ensuring a smooth changeover from one administration to another.
He said he wants to ensure some unelected bureaucrats, which he referred to as ‘scumbags from last time,’ are removed from their positions.
‘So we’re going to make sure those guys don’t get into government, to create a path for the guys like Elon and Ron Paul and Tulsi [Gabbard], and you know, they like to do what they do best.
‘So we got to keep those guys out of power positions.’
He went on to say he dreams of ‘being able to spend a week in tent somewhere, but that probably won’t happen if we win.’
Trump Jr. concluded his video by saying, ‘One way or the other, we’ll either be busy or relaxed, or in hiding.’
Trump had already secured victories in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia as of 8pm Tuesday
Trump had already secured victories in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia as of 8pm Tuesday.
He is also expected to win in Georgia, where independents favored the former president over Vice President Kamala Harris 54 percent to 43 percent, according to CNN.
Yet top pollster Nate Silver has said he thinks that Democrat Kamala Harris will come out on top.
He said it’s ‘literally closer than a coin flip,’ with Harris winning by only a small percentage in the majority of his matchups.
According to his model, Harris won the Electoral College in 50.015 per cent of the simulations compared to Trump’s 49.985 per cent.
That equates to Harris winning 40,012 simulations to Trump’s 39,718.
Silver added that he had never seen anything like this during his years of predicting elections.
