Today's Political Comment

The Internet is full of people asking the musical question, "Is Donald Trump going to run for president again?" I don't know why we're wasting valuable data bytes over this when the answer is pretty obvious: He's sure gonna try. And I don't mean just in 2024. I mean every time he can for the rest of his life. There are many reasons for this but let's just do four…

  1. When Trump runs for office, there are people who send him money and not just small amounts. Trump likes people sending him money.
  2. No one, not even Trump, knows exactly the full list of legal indictments and trials he may face but whatever it is, he'll want to claim that it's all political, ginned-up by people who know he'll easily retake the presidency and must be stopped.
  3. By running, he'll get way more attention than he will receive by not running.  Trump lives for attention.
  4. And crowds.  And rallies.  And people cheering him.  And you get the idea.

He also may think that once he announces, his very presence in the race will scare off a lot of potential challengers and leave more donations and attention for him.  Why would this man not run again? And any setbacks or losses he experiences along the way will all be explained as conspiratorial sabotage by his opponents.
