Former President Donald Trump files to run in 2024

[Scott]

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed his paperwork establishing his candidacy to run for the presidency again in 2024.

Trump’s paperwork landed with the Federal Election Committee shortly before he was expected to make his announcement at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida waterfront estate.

On the brink of a campaign launch that elicits both enthusiasm and dread from different corners of his own party, Trump’s quest to return to the Oval Office could face untold obstacles in the months to come, even with his loyal base firmly intact.

Live on TV now. Half if what he is saying so far is BS. Sigh....blaming China for the 2020 election issues as well..

[Berkshire]

News Flash:  In his announcement to run for POTUS in 2024, Trump is already claiming that the 2024 election was stolen from him. 

[ThailandRyan]

He is claiming that the US is a disaster and he was the only president to never have a war during his time in office, that the Ukraine war would never have happened and that the strategic oil reserves have been drained by Biden...this guy is taking pot shots at all.  He also has stated that North Korea never launched a missile while he was in office either.

"Millions" of people crossing the "non existent southern border". "Blood in the streets" (mainly from domestic terrorists but he missed that).

 

No war in his time, he got on great with the various countries. The lies keep flowing. The only countries he got on well with are our enemies.

"If, as expected, Donald Trump announces tonight that he is running for president for a third time, one unlikely group will be cheering him on: Democrats," CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza wrote. "And there’s political logic here. The simple fact is that Trump has never won a majority of the national vote.

Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg testified Tuesday that Donald Trump personally green-lighted untaxed benefits that are the center of a Manhattan criminal trial against several of the ex-president’s eponymous companies — including a gratis residence in New York City. “The rent was authorized by Donald Trump,” Weisselberg said less than two hours into his time on the stand in State Supreme Court in Manhattan.

"Nobody ever discusses nuclear weapons, can you imagine?" sheesh.

I'm sure Melania is thrilled.

Trump claimed he filled the national oil reserve but Biden emptied it. The fact is that the national reserve was less when Trump left office than when he assumed it.

So nothing has changed, many many lies and much accusations and twisted rubbish. 

 

- Wonder who from the GOP will also run and if any have any credibility.

- When will charges be laid for all the laws he has clearly broken. 

[Eric Loh]

Regurgitating the same old boring hits of yesterday. Low energy announcement. I think he running to avoid indictment. He is not running for the love of the country. That's the nature of this narcissistic and selfish man.

Given that they've waited this long, the Feds will likely wait until after the runoff. I hope not but we'll see.

America, where anyone can grow up, run for President and lose the popular vote three times.

A dead dog should beat Biden.

He effectively closed the Georgia Senator Election.  Warnock will prevail.  Dr. Oz and Kari Lake were endorsed by Donald Trump.  Oz lost to guy recovering from a stroke and Lake lost to a candidate that would not debate her and did a disappearing act.  His time is over.

Yet the trump dead dog failed to do so...and the trump dead dogs fared badly in the mid terms.

It appears that Biden has been grossly underrated.

Go Dark Brandon!

[Hummin]

Only way to stop next election circus, is to make a new rule. No sitting president can be above 75 years old in his term!

There would probably be bipartisan support for that but it would need a constitutional amendment so no chance.

For those train wreck afficionados, the action starts today in the house and senate leadership battles. Will Scott defeat McConnell? Good luck with that. Will McCarthy be challenged for the house speakership? Fun times.

I think we have reached the point where the new delay goalpost is after November 7 2024.

I don't see why anyone still even mentions the Hatch Act, Comey took a hatchet to it in 2016.

Something about Rick Scott gives me the creeps, can't say what it is.

The more things change the more they stay the same in conservative land.

 

"But as I've said before, the gravest threats to our civilization are not from abroad but from within," Trump argued. "None is greater than the weaponization from the justice system, the FBI, and the DOJ. We must conduct a top-to-bottom overhaul to clean out the festering rot and corruption of Washington, D.C."

Actually, a dead dog lost to Biden. It just doesn't know it's dead yet.

As Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that he is running for president for a third time, one unlikely group was cheering him on: Democrats.

 

“As an American, the idea of another Trump campaign and all of his lies and divisiveness and his efforts to undermine American democracy is an absolute horror show,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told The New York Times ahead of Trump’s announcement. “On the other hand, I got to say that as a politician who wants to see that no Republican is elected to the White House in 2024, from that perspective, his candidacy is probably a good thing.”
