      He does indeed have to run for president. Without the presidential immunity, he may face some judicial repercussions for his life of crime.

      Yes, he’s selfless, lol. He’s doing it for financial gain and has damaged democracy in the process.

      Consider that he is not doing it for fun, or not doing it for nothing. He’s not only making money by becoming president, if he doesn’t he’s in danger of going to jail like so many of his gifting comrades have done already. Becoming president kicks that tin can down the road.

      If you think that Trump is somehow doing this for anyone but himself you haven’t been watching. Not watching closely - you just haven’t been watching at all.

      He doesn’t have to run for it, no, but he run for his own personal gain. Like, come on, it’s not hard to see how being one of the most powerful person in the world have some perks, yeah?
