I realize that Maggie Haberman is a Trump normalizing hack but what interests me is her pronouncement that Trump plans to run again only IF the investigations progress. So is this like some sort of blackmail like... "fuck with me and I'll give you 4 more years of the worst fucking president you've ever seen"? Or is it desperation, like aides realize the only way the scumbag stays out of jail is if he somehow becomes president and they start arguing again whether any illegal shit he does can even be questioned? I'm assuming some combination of both, but who cares about Maggie Haberman here how fucked is it that they will openly say "yeah if you ignore all his crimes, then he won't run, he never was that interested in it anyway"???
