Will be so glad to see the last of this blowhard in November

I want him to lose and run again in four more years to really give the GOP the killing blow.

That would indeed be most gratifying but since this thing is motivated by greed, attention and avoiding jail, it’s probably quite likely that as his polling craters he will finish strip mining GOP, the NRA & magaTards then throw them under the bus to drop out and run to Biden for a pardon.

Don’t laugh, doing a Nixon is very much within the remit of the elite, of which this man is part.

Wonder who will be the unlucky one to be the last minute GOP candidate with no election funds? 🤔

I’m old enough to have lived through Nixon.

The world was shocked and infuriated when that thing was pardoned and got to have libraries named after him as he lived the rest of his life in wealth and privilege.

You may be right, but prepare yourself for the possibility of the wealthy closing ranks around one of their own ‘for the good of the country’

If Biden pardons Trump he risks disenfranchising millions of Democratic voters.

He knows that.

You can bet your ass Trump will squeal like a pig. Maybe even on public media!

So….he has either already started, or will begin using AI to generate the illusion of bigger crowds at his rallies.
