    Yeah, not sure how that visit could benefit his campaign. It would be like Alex Jones running for office and doing a stop at Sandy Hook Elementary. Continuing to double down on these wild conspiracy theories is not expanding Trump’s base, which he needs to do if he actually wants to win the legal way.

        His sole purpose for running is to stay out of prison, and with his stacked Supreme Court he knew they would disregard the constitution to help out the guy responsible for their lifetime appointment. It’s why he announced his running so early as well, he knew he was about to be indicted for some of his crimes, so he announced so he can play the “election interference” card again.

          Don’t forget, he also had to announce so he could run his life with campaign funds too. He’s fucking broke without that money. (Unless he somehow manages to cash out of truth social before getting stuck holding the penny stock).

            He is also grifting his base on his NFT cards, several different coins, $2 bills with his booking photo, his new crypto currency that they can’t explain, his Bible and like dozens of others I’m forgetting. He has fleeced his followers for so much over the past 8 years that it’s wild they never stopped to think about how much more disposable income they might have if they didn’t give it all to the guy that has nothing but disgust for them. He might pretend to hate the “libs” and “immigrants”, but the people he thinks the least of are the people he cons into buying his snake oil.
