A Trump rival was booed for suggesting he is only campaigning to keep himself out of jail. But is he completely wrong?

    His personal motivation might have shifted towards trying to stay out of prison but even if there is no investigation going on I am fairly certain he would still be running. There is too much money to be made. Too many favors he owes to repay or to gain by giving away positions.

      Remember when he made $5 million in minutes from NFTs? Yeah, he’s not going to stop being involved in politics

    That would turn the election into America decision to prosecute a president. That would be something.

    No. He was going to run regardless. Now he’s especially keen on winning because he knows it’s likely the only thing that can keep him out of prison.
