Trump 2024
I actually hadn’t considered this.
I’m not sure it’s as much ego as it’s his motivation not to die in federal prison.
In any case, keep in mind that Trump needs to maintain the fiction that the 2020 election was rigged. So what happens when he’s running as an independent against some centrist Democrat (Biden?) and a strong Republican, and he winds up with 7% of the popular vote?
“I was destroyed by the radical left and the mainstream RINOs, both of which have always hated me, even though I did everything I did to keep America first.”
That may sound kind of stupid, even to the hateful morons who still adore him.
