Problematic to who? The Republican party, or the country, or some other


group?

I think he's more problematic to the Republican party if he does run again, because given his base, he'll win the primaries and be the candidate, UNLESS some stuff comes out in the next 3 years that can't be dismissed as fake news that shakes even THAT base.

But if Trump is the candidate, I just can't see him winning unless the Biden presidency is an absolute disaster. I'm talking 'worse economy than Carter', and throw in a few more complete fall on face screwups. Too many people in the general election will remember what a shit show the Trump presidency was for him to win. So Trump as a candidate is REALLY bad for the Republicans.

As for Trump as a kingmaker? I think that's bad for America because even if he doesn't run, he'll have a strong influence on almost every Republican primary run. Then, even if he doesn't run for president, he'll also have an outsized influence on who that nominee is, and if that nominee and so many congressional reps are beholden to Trump, that's bad news for America.
