31. Two possibilities, one good and one bad.

Sat Jul 5, 2025, 08:08 AM

Jul 5

The bad one: he knows all future elections are rigged and he can do whatever he wants

The good one: he doesn't plan to run again and doesn't care what kind of trash heap he leaves for his party or our country when he goes.

I'm going to choose to be optimistic because I don't think he likes being president, and he only ran again to stay out of jail and get back at us for not electing him in 2020. I think he thinks (rightfully, as we have learned all too well) that no one has the spleen to make him pay for his crimes, so he doesn't have to run again.
