Whispers in the ear of the chunky Orange Caesar grow increasingly urgent, imploring him to begin a campaign to reclaim his imperium immediately if he is to escape the feared Praetor Merricus Decimus Meridius Garlandum and his Venator Christophus Gaius Wrayton, the Guardian reports.

Or, without the fake Roman bullshit, Trumpus Fatticus’s minions are telling him he “has to” announce a campaign within the next week or two if he wants to avoid indictment. Since this isn’t real legal advice at all, we probably can dismiss the possibility that this source is also somehow informed that an indictment is imminent within that timeframe. Still the die is cast, as they say, and Orange Caesar pretty much let Garland cast it first with the raid. But Trump really probably should cross the Rubicon and finally launch a 2024 campaign already. We don’t want him to be president again, no. But in his own interest, from a neutral perspective, he absolutely should do it. It would fire up his fans and give him a morale boost personally, even though it won’t mean shit legally. And in our interest, from a non-neutral perspective, he still should do it because it’ll fuck things up for the Republicans in the Midterms (though the raid has definitely already helped do that anyway).
