You only have to ask, "What would Donald Trump do in my shoes?"I have been listening to talking heads on the tub talking about the idea that Trump will announce his candidacy for president earlier that otherwise expected to stop n indictment from either the Feds, New York or Georgia. The idea would be he could yell it is all politics if indicted. I am not asking if trump is guilty or not, but if any candidate for president, or even any other office, should be indicted while running for that office? My opinion would be if the evidence is there for a substantial offense, then yes, you can and should indict.
Yes, he will, and no it shouldn't.I have been listening to talking heads on the tub talking about the idea that Trump will announce his candidacy for president earlier that otherwise expected to stop n indictment from either the Feds, New York or Georgia.

DT is a full blown psychopath. Thus his actions are easy to predict. Will it benefit DT? If yes, he will do it.I have been listening to talking heads on the tub talking about the idea that Trump will announce his candidacy for president earlier that otherwise expected to stop n indictment from either the Feds, New York or Georgia.

Normally I would agree. The Trump phenomenon is much more difficult. The democrats have been screaming accusations since he announced he was running, along with making fun of his candidacy. When he began to pick up support for the nomination it got worse and when he won it they went ballistic. Of course when he defeated Hillary despite almost every pundit's prediction the left went in a complete mental collapse and the fabricated Collusion story quickly came about. The farce has been rebuked but the left clings on to it. As a result we saw 2 impeachment proceedings and several investigations while he was President and that practice seems to be going to continue as democrats seem more concerned with Trump than inflation, Ukraine, crime, gas prices, food shortages, energy prices, immigration, drug trafficking and pretty much every other thing.You only have to ask, "What would Donald Trump do in my shoes?"
Yes, pursue his defeat any avenue.
If I were him I'd wait until after the midterm and the congressional members are sworn it. It's likely to end this mess as the republicans look poised to take both houses. If that happens the republicans are going to stop the investigations and Cheney and Kinzinger will have no say. Kinzinger will be out and Cheney may be reelected but will have no voice.If he announces early it will be to put the attention back on him and off of DeSantis more so that thinking it will help him avoid indictment. It won't.
They were right to pursue him from the start, a person like Trump always needs strong opposition, look what he did, and think what he may be waiting to do if opportunity affords.Normally I would agree.

I have heard this repeatedly over the past year, "partisan witch hunt". If you're an American citizen, wouldn't you want to know how this all happened, who planned it, were there others from inside Congress who were aware of this happening? Wouldn't you like to know how this country can avoid another 'Jan 6' in the future? Don't you want to know who was responsible for the lack of manpower by Capitol police? How come you don't want to protect our democracy in the future, since it literally was on the line on Jan 6, 2021?Well, IMO he does not have to "yell 'it's all politics'" because it IS "all politics."
The 01/06 Committee is a partisan witch hunt. (Don't say it'd got 2 Republicans, they are both "partisans" too).
I would prefer Trump not run. I am not sure he could actually win, even with all the anger developing over the progressive policies of the Biden regime.
But IMO trying to stop a potential run simply because of personal hatreds is not a very "democratic" way of handling elections.
Yep, Trump absolutely earned/deserved the dubious distinction of the only president ever to be impeached 2X.… we saw 2 impeachment proceedings and several investigations while he was President …
You seem to be under the impression that he'd listen, or that he'd do anything not to his own perceived advantage. If he willingly decides not to run, it'll be because his ego can't handle another beating.1. The elders of the Republican Party should visit Mr. Trump (for whom I voted twice and would do so again) and tell him NOT to run. That would be a sign of his patriotism. The nation simply could not tolerate another one of his campaigns.
Because he's been keeping such a low profile that 'fade away' would even be an optimistic possibility? What world are you living in? And even if it were... well, I suppose it's a pretty consistent pattern for the party of 'law and order' posturing to want their own members protected at all costs.2. The elders of the Democratic Party should visit the current Attorney General and tell him NOT to prosecute Mr. Trump, not even for jaywalking. Just let him fade away. Most Americans are too darn busy with their precarious financial situation to give any thought to him anyway.
The committee will produce its report before any transfer of power (should it be a peaceful transfer?) The committee is irrelevant, and the report doesn't magically disappear if and when Republicans win Congress.If I were him I'd wait until after the midterm and the congressional members are sworn it. It's likely to end this mess as the republicans look poised to take both houses. If that happens the republicans are going to stop the investigations and Cheney and Kinzinger will have no say. Kinzinger will be out and Cheney may be reelected but will have no voice.
Announcing now may just stir the pot. Democrats are incensed with hate for Trump and nothing matters more to them.

I'm sick of hearing from Trump apologists and defenders of this insurrection brushing it off as though this was nothing but people using their First Amendment right to protest. That's bullshit.
Yep. What looks like (and is) chaos is highly predictable. Has his niece Mary ever been wrong about anything?The fact that everybody expects him to announce a run just to be a spoke in the wheel of prosecution dampens his goal of achieving that. He's so predictably corrupt that he's his own worst enemy.
It's similar to when he telegraphed his narrative of how the 2020 election would be "stolen" half a year in advance. When he inevitably did it everybody was basically prepared.Yep. What looks like (and is) chaos is highly predictable. Has his niece Mary ever been wrong about anything?
Trump has been screaming accusations since he announced he was running. He said months before the '16 election, when Clinton was leading in the polls, that it was being rigged. There was hardly a week during his administration without him accusing someone of mistreating him. He went so far as to say the judge in the Trump University fraud case couldn't be impartial because he had an Hispanic last name.Normally I would agree. The Trump phenomenon is much more difficult.
