Unlike most other candidates who face allegations of wrongdoing, he hopes to use them as part of a strategy that he hopes will help win him re-election.

President Donald Trump is facing a hurdle no other president has an unprecedented onslaught of investigations into almost every recent organization he has led.
In California, investigators are examining the more than $100 million donated to Trumps inauguration. In New Jersey, theyre looking into the treatment of employees working at a Trump resort. And in New York, theyre scrutinizing Trumps now defunct foundation.
In total, Trump faces at least 15 criminal or civil inquiries by nine federal, state and city agencies into his business, his charity, his campaign, his inaugural committee and his personal finances.
As he launches his campaign for a second term on Tuesday, Trump doesnt plan to avoid talking about the investigations. Unlike most other candidates who face allegations of wrongdoing, he hopes to use them as part of a strategy that he hopes will help win him re-election.

(24,259 posts)3. His strategy... blame the Democrats for HIS illegal crap...
even with evidence as plain as the nose on his face, it is NEVER the fault of a narcissistic conman like Trump. It's always blame, lie, deflect, distract, project, gas light and...
"dance a little sidestep"...
