To avoid prison, is Trump forced to run for President?
The question of whether Donald Trump is running for president primarily to avoid prison has been a subject of discussion.
While it’s hard to ascertain Trump’s genuine concerns about potential jail time for the criminal charges he faces, he has publicly voiced his apprehension about facing prosecution due to what he calls “Left’s witch hunts.”
During court appearances, Trump remains largely silent, but he becomes vocal outside, appealing to the court of public opinion rather than a jury of 12. He intertwines his election campaign with his legal challenges, using the charges against him as a central theme in his speeches to supporters. He portrays himself as a victim of persecution by the establishment, claiming that they fear his re-election as president.

Trump has also used campaign funds, around $40 million, to cover his legal fees. He has stated that no verdict or sentence will deter him from continuing his presidential campaign, even if it means running from behind bars. He has hinted at using the power of the presidency to quash ongoing prosecutions or pardon himself if he gets elected.
However, running for president to evade legal difficulties may pose scheduling challenges. When the trials begin in various states, Trump will likely be required to be physically present during the proceedings, making it difficult to maintain a full-fledged campaign trail.
So far, Trump’s indictments have increased his poll ratings and consolidated his hold on the Republican Party. However, things might change during a general election when he faces Joe Biden and when evidence against him is presented in court.
Despite these uncertainties, Trump continues to dominate the political debate, keeping the focus on himself.

Could Trump’s Middle East peace deal reshape the global economy?
Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.
Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.
Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.
Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.
As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia rushes to finalise billion-dollar minerals deal with the U.S.
Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.
Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.
Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.
The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.
However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
