That is just another leftist delusion. But hey, don't take my word for it, here is noted constitutional lawyer Jonathon Turley:
It is hard to understand that finding. Trump is one of the most recognized faces in the world. Where would he flee? Moreover, he has been sued and charged around the country without going on the lam. Yet, the district court cited the flight risk in ordering the secret subpoena. He also has 24/7 Secret Service protection. Was the court afraid that he would lose (and then evade) his security team, don a disguise, and hop a fishing boat to Cuba?

I didn't say he would be hiding the subject here is flight risk. Not sure what the current stance of Cuba is with regard to extraditions but there are regions where someone of high celebrity could reside if they chose to leave the US under threat of prison time. Roman Polanski comes to mind.
And yes pretty much exactly that Trump would ditch the Secret Service and board a private plain to somewhere friendly to his wishes. Are you saying he does not have the resources, balls, or network of allies to accomplish that? Again I think it is silly and don't believe him to be a flight risk. I am also not sure I give the idea that he would turn himself in for a 10+ year prison sentence high probability.
Maybe I am overestimating his abilities?
