    I agree. I think his original plan was to run, lose, and then claim that the election was rigged against him. Then, he’d have spent 4 years grifting. He’d also have been paid to appear on right wing media to talk about how President Hillary was bungling X and how he would handle X so much better. (All without giving any details on how he’d handle X.)

    Basically, what he’s done since leaving office in 2021.

    Of course, once he was in office, he got addicted to the power and now he wants that back. Plus, he sees it as the only way to avoid prison. So his 2024 Presidential bid is 100% serious.

      Well put. The irony is he could have just straightened up his act once in office and got away with his old crimes, but he is incapable of that.

      The compounding factor is he’s a pootin puppet so once in office, it was a deluge of new crimes to sow chaos and please the master.
