Trump sorta faded from the limelight in 2021. He’s everywhere now. How much of that is because of his multiple prosecutions?
Don’t get me wrong, I think he should be imprisoned for treason. But if there hadn’t been these cases against him, how likely would it be that he just fucked off into the sunset and didn’t run for a second term? He might have run otherwise, but now he’s kinda forced to (as though he wasn’t a narcissist who craved attention – I’m not debating that).
Obviously, we can only speculate. But I’m curious what others think about this?
Yes he would still run. He tries to give the impression that he’s a big winner that wins bigly, who never loses because losing is for losers. He can’t allow himself to end on a loss, his brand image basically demands that he keeps trying and he can’t be satisfied until he wins a second term.
