Ran across an interesting argument today: Trump isn’t actually trying to get elected president. Here’s why -
1) Trump knows (or, at the very least, has been told) that he can’t win without independents. His cult has been weakening to the point where he can’t garner enough votes in the EC. So, instead of joining the debate, which would be watched by independents, he’s opted for the Carlson interview which will only be watched by those people most likely to send him money.
2) While in office, he said more than once that he didn’t like the job.
3) It’s not likely about presidential immunity - he thinks he’ll be convicted and not receive jail time.
Not at all sure if I agree with this, but it’s an interesting viewpoint.
