Hear me out here

Is it possible that Dufus doesn't actually want to be President again, knowing how badly he hosed it last time? But he doesn't have the knowledge or the balls to just step down?

So his solution is to just sabotage the whole damn thing?

Just a thought.

1. Unlikely, imo, due to his many convictions, past and up coming.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. With Been A Dick Donald,

anything is possible, except of course, his sanity.

[malaise]

3. He wants the title and the perks

He doesn’t want responsibility. It’s all a reality TV show to the evil lunatic.

[Chellee]

6. I think JD Vance is counting on it.

He'll absolutely take all the responsibility, do all the work, pull the levers in the background, while Trump distracts people out front.

8. don't forget the immunity...

and disappearing his convictions/sentencing...

[malaise]

9. Yes indeed - that is key

Rec.

4. "Is it possible that Dufus doesn't actually want to be President again..."

No.

He’s counting on another 2016 – lose the popular vote for a third time and win in the EC with enough razor thin majorities in enough swing states; that’s what his supporters are counting on as well.

5. Looner advising him might be almost as good as if I had infiltrated somehow. She's doing fine so far. LOL

It's total insanity and even worse that he's letting it cause a possible scandal. That's the guy that thought banging Stormy Daniels would be some kind of feather in his cap so who knows what's going on.

10. I never thought I'd thank Don Jr or Eric for anything but...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting this guy on the ticket

7. To stay out of jail...

If he steps down his replacement will have to promise to pardon him

[underpants]

14. Exactly. Plus $

There’s lots of money to be made being in office. Scores to settle too.

Charging for golf carts and exaggerated room rates (way over GSA limits) are paltry compared to Saudi money to pay off whatever he owes Putin.

11. Like so many actions of this...person,

I thought I couldn't be surprised any longer. The "I hate Taylor Swift" statement has me absolutely dumbfounded and thinking along the same lines. It makes no logical sense to me. There must be something brewing.

IMO.

[berniesandersmittens]

12. Possible, but very unlikely

IMHO I think he's taking a gamble on what is essentially a 50/50 shot at staying out of jail.
That's why he's willing to do anything to win.

If he were to win, then no jail time.

But who knows with the weirdo?

[sheshe2]

13. No.

The WH and the world were his personal piggy bank. He enriched himself in every way possible, strong arm tactics, selling highly classified documents, blackmail, threats and will again.

He sees it as his get out of jail free card.

And most importantly, he wants revenge.

[Turbineguy]

15. For him, killing a million American because of his incompetence

is just an amuse bouche.

[Bev54]

16. I thought that in 2016 and I think it was true more so then than today. He doesn't

want the work, just the power and money and of course to keep himself from prison. He has convinced himself that people love him, has absolutely no insight. He thinks he can cheat his was through it all, afterall it has worked for him in the past and now he has Maga SCOTUS in his corner.
