Trump’s back door strategy
Looking down at all his screw ups and legal woes he is clearly looking at a long term plan.
If he can delay the potential convictions until after the next election… technically he can’t pardon himself… however he can take a short medical leave… defer the presidency to his VP… then have the VP who is acting as president to pardon him. Then recover and re-assume the presidency with no chance of ever being convicted of anything pertaining to his business, his support of Jan 6 or his gross miss handling of secret documents.
His only hurdle is getting elected. I can see a path to him beating Biden… however it will be tough. Polarized politics in the US has widened.
He would strategically have been better off… supporting a more moderate Republican presidential nominee and then once the Republicans won to pardon Trump and take that noise off the table.
Some will scream it’s unfair that some are above the law however the US just needs to calm down.
Next is countries should try and find the best to run the country. It’s almost like a case of hot potato. No one wants the job and the potato gets tossed to someone shady. It’s a weird world of politics.
