Trump's words come as no stranger to controversy, as he has been vocal about his opinions on various matters during his time in office and beyond. This comment received huge flak from people online and in the states who questioned the loyalty to the country of the former President. People took to Twitter and stormed with their backlash for such a selfish statement amidst the indictment Trump is facing. A user, Machine Pun Kelly Redux, stated, "I bet he'd much rather be in a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty. Might be time to take away his passports."



 

 

While many users chimed in with similar thoughts, Tweeter, Lonnie Hammak wrote, "Well I wish he would just move to the south of France. We have an extradition treaty with France & can haul him back as needed for his court appearances & lock him up if convicted." User, Darren Kaplan wrote, "He's going to end up running for POTUS from Moscow. Bets he still wins the Republican nomination?" Throughout his presidency, he often expressed dissatisfaction with aspects of American policies and institutions. This latest statement, delivered in his characteristic rhetorical style, adds another layer to his complex relationship with his home country.



 

 

It is worth noting that Trump's remarks were made during a campaign rally, where he frequently addresses his supporters and shares his thoughts on a wide range of issues. His off-the-cuff remarks have been a hallmark of his political communication style. The former president's longing for life in the south of France or at his Mar-a-Lago estate underscores his desire for an environment that contrasts with his experiences and perceptions in the United States. 



 

As Trump's words reverberate across media outlets and public discourse, they offer a glimpse into his state of mind and his thoughts on his past decisions. This latest statement adds to the ongoing narrative surrounding his legacy and his impact on American politics and society.
