It has nothing to do with "the powers that be," everything to do with the fact that nobody should be permitted to run again after being careless with nuclear secrets and military intelligence, or even worse, selling them to the highest bidder. That said, triggering the 14th amendment may require congressional action, at which point it would almost certainly stall. I have no doubt the Republican party, spinless as it is now, would allow Trump to run from prison or even Russia if he managed to maintain a slim lead over DeSantis.
literally all of those things are conspiracies, just so you know, its weird how the left clings to them when it meets their needs, but otherwise chooses to debase anyone when it doesnt. Also, yes absolutely it is about the powers that be as there is literally by definition, no case here. Im also not sure where the 14th amendment comes into play, i guess the argument is even presidents can be held accountable, and thats true, but there really need to asterisks that say " where a case actually exists."
