Trump suggests he and Musk should flee to 'far safer’ Venezuela should ‘something happen’ with election

Former President Donald Trump quipped that it would be “far safer” to take refuge in Venezuela if he loses the election in November.

Speaking with billionaire X owner Elon Musk in a two-hour interview, the Republican presidential nominee noted again how Venezuela has been “emptying out” its prisons by sending criminals illegally into the U.S.

“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it’ll be a far safer place to meet than our country,” he said.

“OK, so we’ll go. You and I will go, and we’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela,” Trump told Musk.

“Venezuela – their crime is down 72 percent,” Trump said, adding that violent criminals are being released from the South American nation’s prisons.

“Venezuela has not gotten rid of all of them. They’ve gotten rid of about 70 percent of their really bad people,” he continued. “Their jails are about 50 percent, put into the United States. Same with other countries, over 30 percent. Some are at 50 percent. They’re all different.”

“But the bottom line is they’re all going to be 100 percent. Why wouldn’t you put 100 percent of it?” Trump asked. “Their crime rate is coming down and our crime rate is going through the roof. And it’s so simple.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet because these people have come into our country and they’re just getting acclimated and they don’t know about being politically correct, law enforcement or lack of law enforcement and our police,” Trump continued.

The former president spoke about New York City where he lived before relocating to Florida, telling Musk how the so-called sanctuary city became “overwhelmed” with illegal migrants that it purported to welcome with open arms.

“I saw it today in New York, where somebody was knifed, where they raped the girlfriend of a man that stood there watching in New York in one of the shelters and started pulling out the knives,” he said.

The comment was likely in reference to reports of a knife attack in the Randall’s Island migrant shelter and a suspected migrant who raped a 46-year-old woman at knifepoint on Sunday next to the Coney Island boardwalk. Another illegal migrant reportedly fought off the victim’s 34-year-old boyfriend.

“The unprovoked attack reportedly happened outside a hotel housing asylum seekers Sunday around 9 pm, and has since resulted in rumored Nicaraguan migrant David Davon-Bonilla, 24, and 37-year-old Mexican Leovando Moreno’s arrest,” the Daily Mail reported.

“Bad things happen today, but this is happening every day,” Trump told Musk while speaking of the violence in the Big Apple. “We’re already overwhelmed. Elon, we’re overwhelmed.”

“You had to see the news tonight about New York – New York, and I love that place, and what they’re doing to it is horrible. What they’re doing to it, and all the courts do is they try and focus on Trump,” he said.

The GOP nominee also took a shot at his Democratic rival, reminding how Vice President Kamala Harris was supposed to oversee the immigration problem at the southern U.S. border.

“She was the border czar, and people can’t allow them to get away with their disinformation campaign,” he said. “Now, she’s saying she wasn’t really involved … she was totally in charge.”

“She’s saying she was strong on the border. ‘We’re going to be strong.’ Well, she doesn’t have to say [it]; she could close it up right now,” Trump contended. “They could do things right now. It’s horrible.”
