Former president says he's running for the last time

@Shuck

go through a third campaign four years from now

Fourth (fifth if we count 2000). Meanwhile he’s never won the popular vote.

ETA: He’s a perennial candidate.

I thought someone had alluded to this (i.e. besides the continuing grift) upthread, but I guess it was elsewhere:

Trump asked Russia to find Clinton’s emails. Within 24 hours, Russians attacked her accounts

IIRC, it could protect him as a political candidate from critical remarks, as those could be construed as political speech themselves, and possibly subject to FEC oversight. Can’t find any reference to this now but I recall it (perhaps incorrectly) from early 2017.
