    I don’t think he’d have run again if he didn’t land a bunch of charges. He would have continued claiming he was defrauded, but I think he would have fucked off to his shitty club and played golf and run grifts.

      In any halfway normal person, I’d agree.

      But this guy is a deranged narcissist. He must lead the country and then . . . Ze Vorld!

      When he got elected, people said “Oh, he’ll get sick of it and resign in a few months.” Then, when he didn’t resign, they said, “Oh, well, he for sure won’t run a second time”, despite the fact that he never stopped campaigning, even while he was in office.

      I’m not buying it. The guy loves being president. He loves the power, he loves the attention. He isn’t going to just dry up and blow away.
