It is clear that Trump is an increasingly irrational (and dangerous) lunatic, who not even most thoughtful Republicans want to run again.
Most such Republicans are apparently hoping that the Justice Department will discredit Trump, or Trump discredit himself, just enough so that he will not choose to, or be able to, run again. Of course if he is indicted — or convicted — as a result of any investigation now going on, Republican moderates will scream the Democrats are waging an “unfair” and entirely partisan political prosecution.
It is hard to run a country as crazy as ours. I do not envy the tough decisions leaders of the Justice Department must make in trying to do their jobs — while Trump and his minions, and others too, preach crazy conspiracy theories, or openly threaten civil war and “secession.”
