I found it interesting also that he said “win or lose, he’s going to spend his life dealing with court cases”. Then why would you put him front and center as the candidate for president?

He will make the federal cases go away if he gets into office.

Yes, and they are actively trying to make it so that state cases can be moved to federal courts. It seems so obvious to me that they just try to change the rules if they can’t win by following the rules. Why isn’t this more of a red flag to voters? I honestly don’t get the loyalty to Trump. The comment convinced me even more that there’s something even more sinister going on behind the scenes. It’s not Trump, it’s what they can do with Trump.

This has been something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. Why isn't Trump's failure to follow the rules of more concern to his supporters? I've only come up with one conclusion, and it's fairly scary. They believe that the "system" is rigged against Trump therefore any "rule breaking" he may do is justified because the other side is also breaking rules in their minds. They cannot fathem a reality where Trump is doing anything wrong. Every single thing he does is justifiable. All of it. He is infallible in their eyes. When people call MAGA a cult, they really aren't that far off the mark. When he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and no one would care, he wasn't wrong. His supporters and those who fear angering him will find a way to excuse anything he does. It's terrifying.

That part made no sense to me either. He has no say over his state cases. He can pardon himself of any federal ones, but why would you want a president who had ANY sort of cases against them??

I took it as “people will be going after/accusing Trump for the rest of time”
