Trump says he won't drop out of 2024 race if he's indicted



Former President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would not drop out of the 2024 presidential race if he were indicted in any of the federal and state investigations he faces.

“I wouldn’t even think about leaving,” Trump told reporters at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, where attendees named him their favored presidential candidate shortly before he took the stage.

Trump is facing a number of investigations that include several criminal inquiries. Prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, have been probing the effort by Trump and his allies to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, while the US Department of Justice is investigating the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, as well as Trump’s handling of classified material after he left office.

2. He has nothing to worry about. He's never going to be indicted or face any consequences at all.

It feeds his ego and pays for his expenses.
And its a perfect front for his grifting.

Being the narcissist he is; believing he’ll never be held accountable; he’s counting on it to play the victim card during his campaign…

It’s all a Hollywood reality show to him; and this is the next bit of drama he plans to release in the next season.

Then our American experiment has failed. That means he's above the law and our system is hopelessly broken/inadequate.

14. Of course, he won't. It's a win win for him. He'll have something to whine about and something

to solicit more donations about. My only fear is he'll drag out any proceedings and then, by some horrid act of fate, win the election and then everything comes to a screeching halt. If any indictments are coming, it's time to put up or shut up.
