Read a story a few weeks back, and might've even posted it here, that said Trump has been consistently lying for so long he can no longer keep track of things on a day-to-day basis. That's partly due to obvious cognitive decline. Basically, whatever comes out of his mouth is what he believes to be true at that given time. He is likely to totally contradict himself the next day. It's amazing this guy will get more than 70M votes on 11/5.
He's the worst kind of ignorant too -- he thinks he's an expert on every single subject that comes up.
Correct. Trump doesn't want to be POTUS for any of the right reasons. He loves power and bilking people for money, which he can easily do (with immunity now) from the White House. He's been running for two years simply because of his legal issues. All that is 100% true. I've wondered myself if he's bucking for a pardon in this -- like if Harris (or then Biden) had offered to pardon Trump just to get the whole sordid thing behind us so we can "heal" and move on as a nation -- but don't have a definitive take on that one way or the other. While the single most important thing for this country is ensuring Trump doesn't get back into the White House, almost as important is not letting somebody like Vance, or anybody else with Project 2025 backing, win the presidency as well.
Personally, I say fuck off on pardons. Trump is in a very beatable position now and we could get EVERYTHING -- Kamala victory, Trump's final defeat and then Trump justice (hopefully). I would like to see him lose this election and get turbo-fucked by the courts but I'm not losing sight of the fact we just need Harris to win this election first and foremost.
