In my opinion Trump is not going to survive all the investigations he is facing. He will be indicted. Trump knows becoming president again could save him or another Republican winning in 2024 could pardon him. Trump knows he is in great legal jeopardy.
Trump is a cornered narcissist and he will do anything to protect himself. He will most likely run for president and he will create chaos during his campaign. I can see him attacking the DOJ/FBI constantly. He may run on that. Only I can fix the corrupt DOJ/FBI. It is not hard to make predictions about Trump. He is like a broken record. He repeats the same patterns over and over again.
If another Republican wins the presidency in 2024 I would not be surprised if they pardoned Trump.
It is crucial we reelect Biden in 2024. If that happens, Trump cannot escape.

(22,031 posts)Trump has been making noises about running in 2024. That makes it news and worthy of discussion.
The upcoming elections are more immediate, of course, and require our attention and actions to support our Democratic candidates. We need to hold the House and Senate and win local and state elections. But were not so one-dimensional that we cant walk and chew gum at the same time.
Its a strong accusation to suggest the OP is pushing right wing talking points. If you feel that way, theres an alert system to make your point. (I dont think its warranted, though.)

(4,006 posts)loses the GA election indictment. Regardless of when he goes to jail....
-NYS or NYC will seize his remaining properties for back taxes due to undervaluing same for tax purposes.
-Trump Org. already in deep shit, falls apart due the above and/or lying to banks, via overvalued property, that made big $ loans to his organization to keep things afloat.
-from jail or at least before he goes, he loses his ability (gag order) to raise funds, contact Putin and the Saudis for financial help, and ends up not broke (i.e. no money) but instead deeply in debt. Those banks now foreclose on his U.S. and even foreign-based golf courses and other residential properties.
-thing rapidly accelerate as knowledgeable staff at Trump Org. and/or the golf/residential properties leave in droves for not getting paid, a Trump specialty.
I don't think this is fanciful thinking as this pattern has occurred with other insolvent organizations. The Bernie Madoff case following his jailing has much in common as do dozens of other cases when the head honcho swindled or otherwise broke laws and got caught. Oddly enough, Mara-Dildo as I call it cannot be taken away at least by a bankruptcy and FL law prohibits anyone from seizing a FL resident's primary home for any reason, which is why I'm sure he slyly moved to FL. Still, at the end of the day, he may only have this dirty, shabby, outdated and ill-fated home to his name as the rest of his empire went poof!
Let's hope I'm right.
Edit: I do sincerely hope that someday in the not too distant future that TFG finally realizes that his ill-fated run for the presidency and his terrible administration of that office was the BIGGEST MISTAKE he ever made! And I salute President Obama, for goading him via that wonderful verbal roast of TFG at the WH Correspondent's dinner, for what he did that fateful night. It's only too bad he did win the election for which we all suffered for 4 long years.
