Will Trump flee the U.S. for Russia?

I recently sent the DCI a one sentence letter to the editor stating: “I predict that Donald Trump will not run for President but will run for Russia within six months.”
Karen wrote back to say it was too short, so if this gets too long you can blame her.
My prediction is based on several things I’ve learned about Donald Trump over the years, beginning with his book, “The Art of the Deal,” and continuing through the years with news stories about the man, his wives and his businesses.
Things I’ve learned about the man are:
   He is a narcissist and demonstrates all the relevant characteristics:
Self-importance
Sense of specialness and uniqueness
Fantasies of specialness and uniqueness
Need for praise and attention
Strong sense of entitlement
Lack of empathy
Jealousy, envy and scorn
A pattern of manipulating others
Frequent use of the word “perfect” when referring to his own speeches, actions, etc.
   His first wife, Ivana Trump, said he kept a volume of Hitler’s speeches beside his bed.
   He has quoted from Hitler’s speeches, i.e. opponents are “vermin,” immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”
   He complained to Marine Corps General John Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”
   His frequent comments of approval of Putin.
   He has filed for bankruptcy six times.
   His former business partners say he is a great salesman and a very poor businessman.
Based on the above, I don’t believe Trump will stick around as it becomes more clear that he will face criminal trial for his nefarious shenanigans.
I interpret his most recent support for Putin to feel free to invade NATO nations who are behind on financial responsibilities to be preparation for a welcome from the Russian leader when Trump feels he needs to escape the U.S., and I predict he will feel that need within six months.
