Why Trump Says He ‘Just Might Have to’ Run Again

The Bulwark: “Two motivations appear to lead the pack of emotional wolves that maraud Trump’s brain. First, as his niece Mary Trump has said, he owns ‘the most colossal and fragile ego on the planet.’ His frail self-image fears external confirmation that he’s a loser. Restoration would represent redemption.”

“Second, and likely more important, is his fear of federal prosecution. The presidency brings immunity from it under Justice Department memos… Although Attorney General Merrick Garland has appeared reluctant to prosecute Trump, he remains exposed to federal prosecution on a variety of charges—including charges related to Jan. 6th—absent a return to the White House.”
