    The grift is 100% there but I think he does want to be president again because he believes that that will absolve all crimes.

          He’ll pardon himself in Georgia, too, even though that’s totally not a thing, then double-dog-dare Georgia to do something about it.

          It obviously has never been put to the test, but all the hypotheticals about the subject I’ve ever heard about conclude that what would most likely happen is that the verdict would still stand, but any kind of incarceration would be deferred or outright eliminated because the execution of his Presidential duties would take precedent.

          He wouldn’t be able to pardon himself, but Trump would clearly spin the fact that he avoided punishment as “TOTAL EXONERATION”, which is often enough for his ego and to placate his base.

      He also wants to be president because legally he is FUCKED in NY state – the judge rescinded ALL his NY business licenses, for every and any entity connected to him or any of the five defendants – but as president Putin and MBS will pay him billions regardless. Just ask Jared, lol.
