REPORT: TRUMP THINKS A 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RUN WILL KEEP HIM OUT OF PRISON
Donald Trump famously hated the actual job of being president of the United States, given its emphasis on reading documents, listening to experts, and giving a <deleted> about other people. On the other hand, he did enjoy the power, and one aspect of the power he really seemed to like was the fact that, according to his lawyers, he couldn’t be held accountable for any crimes while in office.
Trump will definitely still run.
His motivation has nothing to with hoping to be a good public servant for the American people.
Rather it's a desperate attempt to avoid facing any legal consequences for his many allege crimes.
He's hoping that the DOJ etc. would never dare to indict once he becomes a formal candidate as he could spin that as political interference.
Of course nobody knows if that game will work for him but it makes sense for him to at least try that on in case he does.
