His neverending desire for revenge
Trump is again the immediate front-runner for the Republican nomination, but his force within the party is drastically diminished. After the results of the last week’s midterm elections finally came in, with Democrats keeping the control of the Senate and Republicans expected to get a much smaller majority in the House, some Republican elites started to push Trump to step aside for good from the party.
His number one lie, that the 2020 elections were stolen from him, eventually led to an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, which prompted various investigations by the Justice Department and Congress that eventually unfolded in the midst of this year’s midterms. Even if he lost the election by over 7 million votes with virtually no signs of mass fraud, Trump still believes that he was the true winner.
One of the many reasons why Trump wants to run again is the fact that he wants to seek revenge against Biden, whose victory led him into believing all sorts of false conspiracy theories. The rage occurred right in the middle of the campaign he and his allies planned, wanting to invalidate the 2020 election results.
He jeopardized the nation’s tradition of peaceful transfers of power, and it culminated in a serious attack on the Capitol that managed to delay for a while the official certification of Biden’s win.
