Donald Trump Jr. suggested he would flee the country if his father loses the presidential election so as not to “end up in the gulags.”
In a live Election Day video on TikTok, the 46-year-old businessman answered a question from a follower who asked him what he would do once the race was called.
“If we don’t win, then I’ll probably, you know, the way the Democrats work, I’ll have to fly to a non-extradition country and, you know, settle there so we don’t end up in the gulags with Elon (Musk) and everyone else.” Trump Jr. said as the filters crossed his face.
He went on to say that, frankly, he was “only partially joking about it.”
“And if you’ve been looking the other way, you’ll realize that it’s probably only partly a joke,” the former first son said.
Former first son Donald Trump Jr. has suggested he would flee the country if his father loses the presidential election on Tuesday.
He said that if his father won a second term, he would probably “be pretty busy with the transition.”
However, if former President Donald Trump were to win a second term, Trump Jr. said he would likely “be pretty busy with the transition,” referring to the team tasked with ensuring a smooth change from one administration to another.
He said he wants to ensure that some unelected bureaucrats, whom he referred to as “last time trash,” are removed from office.
“So we’re going to make sure those guys don’t get into government, to create a path for guys like Elon, Ron Paul and Tulsi (Gabbard), and you know, they like to do what they do best.
“So we have to keep those guys out of positions of power.”
He went on to say that he dreams of “being able to spend a week in a tent somewhere, but that probably won’t happen if we win.”
Trump Jr. concluded his video by saying, “One way or another, we’re going to be busy, relaxing, or hiding.”
Trump had already achieved victories in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia as of 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

He is also expected to win Georgia, where independents favored the former president over Vice President Kamala Harris by 54 to 43 percent, according to CNN.
However, top pollster Nate Silver has said he believes Democrat Kamala Harris come out on top.
said it is “literally closer than flipping a coin”, with Harris winning by only a small percentage in most of their matchups.
According to their model, Harris won the Electoral College in 50.015 percent of simulations, compared to 49.985 percent for Trump.
That’s equivalent to Harris winning 40,012 simulations compared to Trump’s 39,718.
Silver added that he had never seen anything like this during his years of predicting elections.
