8. I don't agree. The stakes are higher than in 2016, when he just wanted to juice up his brand.

Winning this year means keeping a job he hates, is terrible at, and keeps a spotlight on him at all times that's not always fulsomely complimentary.

But losing this year means going to jail forever, or into exile in Russia. Not sure which one I'd pick. Have to flip a coin on that one...
