Is it not just a bit early to start campaigning for his next term? There is more to this than meets the eye.

It looks like the Russian Candidate is trying to change the narrative from his possible impeachment to his possible second term. This will likely appeal to his base and may intimidate his critics.

On the other hand, the next presidential election will likely be very expensive. It takes time to accumulate that kind of money.

On balance I think RC is trying to change the narrative.
