I knew he would come back but it still is frightening seeing Trump announce it. Another 2 years of division, hate and fear in the USA.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The phrase "ongoing investigations on Donald Trump" is to me the new equivalent of "your check is in the mail."
In other words... sit down and wait for it, 'cause nothing's going to come of it. What a sham. I've seen articles calling Trump the new "Teflon Don" and they're right. Remember... this is the guy who bragged of being able to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and nothing would happen to him. That's about the ONLY thing he's ever said that is anywhere near the truth. Unfortunate... shameful... disgusting... but it's the truth.
Everyone is oh so excited about these investigations as if Trump was ever going to have to answer for all the criminal things he's done. Right.
The media reports about some GOP players (and even donors) who are turning their backs on Trump and ready to move on. Doesn't matter. In the end, the Trump Cult will find a way to make it through. Trump will beat the rap on all investigations being done on him... he'll hide behind his just announced candidacy in order to increase his Teflon coating... he'll rah-rah rally all his brain-dead minions into a frenzy... and there will be hell to pay for any decent Republican who tries to stand in his way. This is a movie we should all be tired of seeing by now.
Once the Narcissistic Orangutan has gathered all his minions, he'll easily win any primary for the Republican Party nomination. After that... there on the other side will be 82-year old Biden... waiting to be beaten into a pulp by the name-throwing, insult-hurling Orange Asshole.
We're in for 4 years of more hell.
40 percent doesn't amount to a haggard beleaguered exposed traitor grifting his way into office. He lost to Joe Biden. Last thing I want to do is try to get into the psychology of the GOP but cocaine Mitch emerged from his ice-cave today after the vote no worse for wear. McCarthy and fealty go hand in hand and he's already on bent knee trying to make deals and sealing up his own votes. I don't think he has much going on in his mental attic if you know what I mean and wouldn't be shocked to see his overwhelmed with infighting. I can only speak to personal experience, but I do believe independents and core Republicans will not have another stomach for the man, his ways and clear proven recklessness. And people in power or vying for power don't like to lose. And Trump is running up those L's. I knew and know decent people who voted for Trump. Friends-family and some others. 8 of 11 will not support another vote. Small circle but that's what I got. Running on the death of America, brash and crass bullshitting and whiney victimhood is where Trump is. That's his thing. It's so fookin tired. The mindset itself is slow erosion. Voters spoke once and he won. They did not make the same mistake when the opportunity presented itself last time and sent him on his way. I guess I don't have a great answer for ya Kirkland in terms of why he won't win but I know this Republic cannot endure another unconstitutional rule by chaos worm hole term. It's going be a bumpy ride bro but as a lifelong Independent I gotta have faith.
Trump 2024
I don't think he has a chance in the general if he's running against Biden but I'm not so sure if Biden can't run and he's facing Harris. I'm no expert on internal Democratic party politics but as best I can make out the black part of the party would go nuts if any alternative to Harris was even considered and it would cause a split. But if it's her as the nominee she'd probably fall apart before November, in fact it's a good bet. Even Democratic primary voters didn't like her and she pulled out of the race very early. Biden has as little as possible to do with her since the election and she's been not ready for primetime in front of the media which is ninety percent of the VP job. It would be like 2016 where the public had two candidates they couldn't stand and Trump got a load of luck.
Also like 2016 or at least 2015:
Bizarre speech to announce his candidacy.
Murdoch media dead against him.
Establishment conservatives and legacy GOP united against him.
Big donors staying away.
Vast quantities of free media coverage.
Look how that turned out.
Trump was a terrible businessman who inherited a huge fortune and turned it into a small one. His dad turned the family into the second or third biggest real estate family in New York. Now they're not even in the top hundred. If he put the money he inherited into an index fund instead of trying to be a businessman he's be about ten times richer than he even claims to be. One thing he does have a genius for is self promotion. And on the brink of what would have been a wipeout seventh bankrupcy he parlayed the image he'd created into a starring role in a popular tv show in which he played a brilliant chief executive. It's that tv image that's in Americans' heads and nothing will shift it and that's according to political consultants working for and against him who have interviewed hundreds of focus groups. And he's built for the dominance hierarchy display that is a GOP primary race. He managed to turn a minority of support last time into a crushing win and there's no reason he can't do it again. We need to hope Biden stays healthy and compus mentis for another two years.
While in office, President Donald J. Trump repeatedly told John F. Kelly, his second White House chief of staff, that he wanted a number of his perceived political enemies to be investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Kelly said.
Mr. Kelly, who was chief of staff from July 2017 through the end of 2018, said in response to questions from The New York Times that Mr. Trump’s demands were part of a broader pattern of him trying to use the Justice Department and his authority as president against people who had been critical of him, including seeking to revoke the security clearances of former top intelligence officials.
Mr. Kelly said that among those Mr. Trump said “we ought to investigate” and “get the I.R.S. on” were the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey and his deputy, Andrew G. McCabe. His account of Mr. Trump’s desires to use the I.R.S. against his foes comes after the revelation by The Times this summer that Mr. Comey and Mr. McCabe had both been selected for a rare and highly intrusive audit by the tax agency in the years after Mr. Kelly left the White House.

Five thousand out of a hundred and fifty million were audited and both these guys were on the list.

New York Post buries Trump 2024 launch: 'Florida Man Makes Announcement'
Here's a picture of the cover:
Ouch! Man... that's gonna leave a mark.
If there's anything that bugs the Narcissist Orangutan more than anything else, it's to be pushed to page 26 and not even have his name mentioned.
Dayam... good thing the NY Post is a conservative newspaper.
I'd hate to see how they would have treated him had they been a liberal one.
From the above article:
Inside, a brief column attributed to Post staff was dripping with sarcasm.
“With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement that he was running for president,” the column began. “In a move no political pundit saw coming, avid golfer Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and classified-documents library.
“Trump, famous for gold-plated lobbies and for firing people on reality television, will be 78 in 2024,” it continued. “His cholesterol levels are unknown, but his favorite food is charred steak with ketchup.”
"His resort and classified-documents library".... HAHAHAHAHA!! But Trump minions will find a way to excuse that criminal act just like they excuse every FUCKING criminal act the Orangutan has ever committed because they're too busy kissing his orange ass.
Yep... "firing people on reality television." Donnie's greatest claim to fame before moron voters made him President. He was full of himself THEN. Becoming President allowed him to blow the "Narcissism Meter" to smithereens.
"Charred steak with ketchup"... LMAO! Another way to say you can't beat CLASS into a classless, ignorant fuck. Fucking dude practically crawled out from under a rock into a life of inherited, undeserved entitlement.
Fukk Trump.
There were more fired twitter employees protesting in front of a starbucks than there were people protesting in front of a State Capital in support of Trump boot polisher Kari Lake. Ouch.
trump is low t these days, once the price of crudité stabilizes in PA he and his mates will have even less support.. Maybe Gretchen whitmer will make a run for it if old joe is indeed too old, the old git is successful despite his dreadful speeches and the dark Brandon memes are gaining steam.
trump currently paying lawyers to delay the investigations into him, , he might be in trouble for the classified documents, I'm sure the lawyers getting paid are having a good time though.

I think weißelberg was testifying that trump signed the Cheques for the benefits scam he's pleading guilty to... That should be fact checked though I've been on the ale.

Forty five billion, actually fifty five billion could be gone in a few days. Biggest business fuckup ever. The best concentrated source of real time information and expertise in human history and he fucks it up in a month.

Perfect. Because it's crucial this fucking nonentity runs for prez. One percent support if he's lucky and ninth place in Iowa.
There'll be another half dozen has beens and neverwases and a couple of plausible people like Pence and that black senator (Scott?) who just can't help themselves and together they might stay in the race long enough to stop any candidate with a chance of winning to assemble a bigger number of supporters than Trump.
Long way to the primaries though. Who knows how it goes.
