5. It is important to remember

May 2021

Donald Trump didn't want to be President. It was a scam to steal money from the gullible to pay off his debts and probably start some new media platform. He had no acceptance speech written on election night 2016. The perfect storm or events lead to him winning and he was miserable the entire time.

The only reason Donald Trump ran for re-election is because of the legal exposure he created. He knows his crimes and knows that now that these things are being looked at(tax fraud, bank loan fraud, insurance fraud), he is caught. But he lost, and indictments will be coming on these State charges at minimum.

There is no reason for him to run, again, for something he never wanted in the first place. This will especially be true once he is indicted by NY State. He lost the popular vote, twice, by huge margins. He was impeached twice. He is disgraced. What possible angle could they run him as a candidate from? They can't just shut down conventions and give him the nomination - he isn't the sitting POTUS. Others will want to run, knowing Trump is clearly a losing proposition. Its May 2021. Three years from now, he will be a bad memory.

This is true-- he would do that- dawg day May 2021 #1
