118. He doesn't want to make it to the election. He's afraid of losing again.

Jan 2024

He knows he lost in 2020. He knows some people view him differently after Jan 6, the E Jean Carrol trial, the New York civil fraud trial, stealing government documents and lying to the FBI about it and the Dobbs decision and he knows he'll lose the general election.

How many times can he cry wolf (they stole the election) before his support dwindles more.

He loves mass adulation from a large rally crowd. I've heard the size of his crowds is dwindling. He knows all his legal woes were exposed and/or prosecuted as a result of his first term in office. He loves money as much as he loves crowds. Another term would surely result in more lawsuits and wipe him out. He's a very unhappy man now. He's on a runaway train of his own making but he wants off. IMHO
