President Donald Trump gave his first public indication that he may run for office again in 2024 on Tuesday night.
TL;DR ā āTrump Has 4th Bowel Movement of the Morning, Huggies Running Lowā
Hey, TPM, how about covering someone relevant?
ETA: Alternate headline was āHuggies Riding Lowā but I thought it too esoteric.
Oh cāmon. He was not reelected and he wonāt run againā¦he is a grifter. He thinks there is money (and evidently there is) in it to keep lying. He is a loser.
Kimmel thinks Trump should start his campaign at Bidenās inauguration! The Melania Christmas decorations and album are funny too.
I guess any hope of his disappearing from our screens and consciousnesses after January 20 is futile. Whether in prison, in exile, or on the campaign trail for four straight years, he will continue to insert his malevolent presence on a daily basis. The only possible silver lining is that he could take the entire GOP down in flames with him.
Leave it to this idiot to complicate his life with his own lack of vision. Step 1: Pardon your family and yourself. Step 2: Run for office under the cloud that you lead a crime family. Idiot!
Well, thereās nothing in the Constitution that prevents someone from running for President while theyāre in jail so, weāll see. Hell, he might even get the Republican nomination while in jail. How cool would that be?
[āItās been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years.
Iāll see you in four years,ā he said during a holiday party with Republican National Committee (RNC) members at the White House, per Politico and CNN.]
Amazingā¦that not all words in a series of words have the same value⦠
Hereās what I believe will happen.
Heāll keep talking about running in 2024, and grift potentially billions from the morans, then decide around April/May 2024 that heās not running due to health, family, etc.
Itāll be the most successful grift the world has ever seen.
Aināt going to happen and who gives a ratās ass. Not even the beginning of the Biden/Harris administration and we have to carry the thought of this idiot returning to run again, aināt going to happen.
I would not worry much about this. Trumpās public presenceāwithout him being POTUSāwill be dramatically reduced. For one thing, the President MUST be covered. Second, his real power is gone, once he becomes a private citizen. Third, in his efforts to duplicate his POTUS presence, Trumpābeing an emotional infantāwill fuck this up, royally.
Hey, if he wants to overshadow the rest of a potential field of 2024 challengers, I think thatās great. If he wants to hold the GOP in a cult of personality as its adherents die off over time and are not replaced, I think thatās wonderful. Go for it, Donnie.

He lies so often, what cause is there to believe that thereās any substance to this threat?
And, even if there is some actual intent, why believe that lifeās course (through a major medical event or death) or the actions of a prosecutor wonāt bring his daydreams to an end?
Theyāre having an extra difficult time making the transition to our future and reporting sanity. Obviously way more clicks to be had with the idiot.
And I can think of 15 people who are none too amused at the prospect of Diaper Don sucking in all the oxygen & money.
Namelyā¦
Their level of misery is in inverse proportion to my level of pleasure at their misery.
h/t to @rwdorsey for their like-mindedness ;p
Youāre talking forty or sixty flushes right there.
If everything from the last four years that needs to be investigated and prosecuted actually is investigated and prosecuted, then the GOP can hold their whole damn party convention there.
By Trump throwing his hat in the ring he is making it hard for democrats to let bygones be bygones.
Those blanket pardons that he wants to give his associates, family and even himself, are just as good as the new administration reluctance to prosecute. If they really want to keep the Trumpies busy they can just investigate, prosecute piecemeal and go all the way to the SCOTUS figure out if the crime is covered in the pardon, giving the accused a lot of opportunities of committing new crimes in the attempt to cover each other up.
For tRump, itās always all about the grift. If he hints at a 2024 run, he can maintain his stranglehold on the tRumpublican party and, more importantly, the MAGAts will keep giving him money. IMHO, however, I think that there is about a 100% chance that tRump will either be dead, in prison, in exile, or in an alzheimerās home long before 2024 rolls around.
