Former President Donald Trump is facing 37 federal felony counts related to his mishandling of classified documents. Trump has denied all wrongdoing, claiming the investigation was politically motivated.
Although the charges are serious, Straight Arrow News contributor Peter Zeihan doesn’t think they’ll impact the election. He argues we’re still looking at a 2020 rematch — with the same results.
Excerpted from Peter’s June 13 “Zeihan on Geopolitics” newsletter:
If reading the headlines gave you some major déjà vu … welcome to the club. Trump is getting hit with a series of new indictments, but will it impact the election?
For those who love their red hats, Trump can do no wrong. If you try to tell them otherwise, it’s either a plot or a conspiracy theory. And regardless, you can run for president from the comfort of your prison cell … so he’ll be all right.
But none of this matters anyways. Biden will take the independent vote since Trump threatened to take away their voice, allowing Biden to run (or slowly and carefully walk) off with the election.
As long as these two spring chickens can keep clucking until the election, we’re looking at a 2020 rematch with the same results. So you get a double dose of déjà vu today.
