Could Donald Trump get asylum in Greece, where they’ve just finished a border wall?

Democrats in New York are continuing to pursue Donald Trump (see, for example, “Trump Organization Could Face Criminal Charges in D.A. Inquiry” (NYT, June 2021)).

Where could our former leader find like-minded folks who might host him in a sovereign jurisdiction where he could be free from politically-motivated prosecution?

“Greece finishes wall on border with Turkey, amid fears of Afghan migrant crisis” (CNN, August 21, 2021):

Greece has finished building a 40-kilometer (25-mile) wall along its border with Turkey, amid concerns in parts of Europe that the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan could cause an influx of people seeking asylum.

Greek government ministers toured the fence on Friday and said the overthrow of Afghanistan’s government gave greater urgency to their effort to reduce the flow of migrants across its borders.

“The Afghan crisis is creating new facts in the geopolitical sphere and at the same time it is creating possibilities for migrant flows,” Greece’s Citizens’ Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis said in a government statement after touring the completed border wall on Friday. “As a country we cannot remain passive to the possible consequences.”

“It is our decision… to defend and secure our borders,” Chrisochoidis said. “Our borders will remain secure and inviolable. We will not allow uncontrolled and erratic movements and we will not allow any attempt to violate them.”

This raises the question… where in Greece would The Donald most likely live if he did request and receive asylum there? My vote is Meteora, in the old monastery at the top. To get to their prey, Cyrus R. Vance Jr. and fellow Democrats would have to scale the cliff as James Bond did.
