I agree with your statement to a T.
I also believe with all my being the man didn't want to become president and that he hates it...running was just a brand enhancing deal to him, he really needed an influx of cash flow at the time as his "empire" was seriously over-leveraged and he had large loans (from the few lenders who would give him money, Deutsche Bank and Alfa Bank) coming due....in 2015-16 he was quite "property rich and cash poor".
Also, that he knows he's very, very likely going to jail if he's not in the Oval Office...tax crimes are relatively simple exercises to prosecute. If he lost in 2016, nobody would have really cared about his taxes. By winning, everyone did.
Add to that, Melania renegotiated their pre-nuptial 18 months ago and has his rear over that barrel as well, because she
was going to leave him after the Stormy Daniels deal. He's also likely not getting a "Nixon Pardon", after all this bull he's put the country through since November. Although, if anyone would give him that pardon, it's Joe Biden and his Catholic centric viewpoint, TBH.
Such a tragic and sad man, for all his bluster. Shakespearean, even. I don't hate a man I don't know. I actually feel incredibly sorry for him....not too many people can literally fail at everything they do and still be rich. Well, I mean, he
was successful at selling out his country, but whatever. Some of you actually should read what Mueller put to page someday, because Cadet Drumpf is far from innocent, nor was he "exonerated" as so many of you love to crow. It's in English, and is a free government document, so read away.
Once some of you get out of the "just got dumped" phase of your Trumpian love, you'll start seeing straight again, hopefully. And if you don't, you'll never win another national election again. That's the rub. A strong United States Republic demands strong fundamental policies, from both Conservative and Liberal sides, because Independents outnumber both. When you stop playing in reality, you stop winning elections.. the writing is on the wall for my old Republican party, unfortunately, which will eventually lead to a weak Democratic party as well. The craziness that has become Conservative politics is turning away the middle, who will just rubber stamp liberal policymakers, whom they increasingly perceive as the only adults left in the room. Which, after a time will lead to them not even trying, as well. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, a fundamental truth for all.
The bastions of Republicanism are very old and they are dying. When those lever pullers die, in Florida and Texas and the midwest, it will become very difficult for the Republican minority to win a national election. Republican Party membership has been declining for better than two decades. Ten years ago, 48% of voters were Republican. Today that is at 30%. Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina are all turning purple right now. Look around you, there are scary liberals everywhere, setting up coffee shops and eco-bike stores. That should push every conservative out there straight into reality, but it hasn't yet.
Without policies based in reality, I'm sad to say, my old party is dead, and I fear so is the Republic itself unless a strong option replaces it.
