And this is purely strategic thinking, like a war game.
He'd be better off to drop out of the race, hand pick a P and VP candidate, maybe Noem and Vivek, whoever...
Go 100% in support to hand over the MAGAt's to them...
Continue his legal defense fund for the grift...
His hand picked folks can punish the right people and pardon him of Federal crimes IF they were to win.
At THIS point... IMHO...
An alternate nominee WITH the support of Trump... will carry more voters than Trump alone.
Anyone think Trump would do the smart thing? (lol)

I think the DoJ would be more likely to make favorable plea deals if he was out of the scene.

(18,742 posts)best strategic move, rather than the thing he most wants to hear. You wouldn't last a week.
The guy is a fucking narcissist. His advisors tell him what he wants to hear, or they aren't his advisors much longer.

(2,973 posts)GOP is afraid of all the fans who ditch the election if he is not the nominee which will hurt senate and house races as well as state
