Reminder why Trump wanted to be President again:
1. Escape criminal charges for committed crimes incl. insurrection & stealing national security secrets
2. Line his pockets w/riches only made possible by being President
3. Retribution against *all *perceived enemies
That's it.

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.
