Trump is not angry with the Democrats and the “Deep State”, the dark entity, which he says are behind the alleged manipulation of election results, which deprives him of his re-election, and wanted to prevent him from winning the House- White in 2016.

Annoyed, exasperated and furious, Trump is a clear and immediate danger to the national security of the United States. It will be even more so after January 20, 2021. Here’s why.

He is aware of many state secrets that he could sell: the procedure for launching nuclear weapons, the existence of advanced or developing weapon systems, etc. He was also introduced to many CIA and NSA secrets that would be of great interest to adversaries of the United States.

In his case, ignorance does not mean innocence

Some believe that his proverbial ignorance greatly mitigates the risk of betrayal he poses. Trump paid little attention to his briefings daily to the intelligence services. His ignorance did not prevent him from revealing, out of stupidity, secret information to impress or intimidate foreign governments.

Welcoming Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the Oval Office in 2017, Trump confided in him information of the highest security classification the United States had received from Israel. He thus endangered the life of the Israeli spy within the Islamic State to the chagrin of his friend Netanyahu.

In August 2019, he tweeted a photo taken by a US spy satellite of an Iranian launch pad. From the image Trump leaked, “geeks” were able to determine which satellite it came from and calculate its orbit, “top secret” information.

Betray and flee, his only option?

When he leaves office, Trump will face hundreds of millions of dollars in personal debt to foreign, possibly Russian, creditors. Selling state secrets would be a way out for an amoral and unprincipled individual like himself.

Trump said at a recent campaign rally that he believes he will leave the country if he loses. Does he consider seeking political asylum in a country from which extradition would be impossible? Russia, for example.

How to stop Trump from betraying and fleeing? The authorities will have to quickly arrest him as soon as he loses his presidential immunity. He is the subject of investigations by the City and State of New York for allegations of bank and tax fraud.

And if Trump betrayed while he was president, he could also face charges under the “Espionage Act,” already successfully used against officials for leaking information that undermines US national security. Trump poses a clear risk of flight abroad and a danger to public safety because of the state secrets he possesses. A court would have every reason to refuse his release on bail.

I suggest he be held at Guantanamo while awaiting trial.
