Edward Luce: “The obvious cure for Trump’s business woes is to recapture the White House. Unlike any federal convictions that Trump might suffer between now and election day, it is clear he would have no power as president to pardon himself for his spate of civil losses. But another term would give him great scope to replenish the family coffers in other ways. The world is mostly focused on whether Trump would pull America out of NATO, abandon Ukraine and start new trade wars. Trump’s domestic opponents, meanwhile, are preoccupied with the threat he would pose to America’s constitutional order.”
“All of these spectres are real; most are highly probable. What is guaranteed, however, is that Trump would go for the money.”
