I'm glad he's running.
I'll vote for him.
If anyone talks about the steal he's called a "denier" so we won't hear about it from any of the talking heads.
There was massive vote fraud but talking about it is like saying nigger in the Apollo theatre.

I’m seriously torn. Desantis is the golden boy but so much really stinks there too. Trump disappointed me. Covid and failure to take on deep state was nuts.

I'm just glad he's running to shut up all of the morons, that keep asking me, "You don't really think Trump will run again in 2024, do you?"
At this point, I look at Trump as a seat warmer for DeSantis. A Trump administration, would be an excellent administration for DeSantis to work on the dream Congress, and supporting staff. And god knows how much more of the façade will he chip away and expose just running in the election. I don't think the corrupt election system will stand up to another go. I'm optimistic at this point, that who ever is on top of the election fraud and building court cases. Aren't running on every War Room live stream announcing their every move, before they even filed the papers. And bringing Hoaxes and inserted disinformation, that was fed to discredit the Election theft accusations. If the Dominion or any voting machines are used in the 2024 election. Then there isn't a mother fucker in our Courts or in Washington that we can trust. Because the courts are about to be bombarded with court cases, way too many for Clinton's fixer to get in front of an Obama Judge.
Oh and Trump is running for President. Why wouldn't he, there's nobody better at this point that to run on 2024.
Oh and there will be RINO shenanigans, I'm sure we can expect Trump having to defeat every Primary opponent one by one, like he had to do to all 16 candidates in 2016. Which never happens, When a top Candidates beats the other top two or three, the rest dwindle away. If they had 2% interest early on. They don't all of a sudden gain 50 or 60% which the polls tried to suggest, and Trump had to debate and his lawyers battle their lawyers on those battle state's primaries. So yeah, there's more absurdity ahead.
As we will see, DeSantis wont have the same problem when he finally runs. He will only have to beat his top contender early on, then will be projected in every poll to sweep the rest of the states. He wont have D grade candidates upgraded to A listers, just because the last top guy lost.

hes got my vote in 2024

He wanted to maximize fund raising and intimidation of any challengers.

Trump’s priority has always been money so naturally the earlier he announces the sooner he can get fund raising ramped up.

And he loves the limelight so now the focus is squarely on him, the only whale in the room. (Unless you want to call Obiden a whale but it is more like a monster)

If the “deep state” had any actual power at all, Trump would be dead before he can run again. If the deep state can’t kill a nearly 80 year old man and make it look like a heart attack, accident or another natural ailment than the deep state doesn’t exist.

If democrats can rig voting machines and steal elections, stage school shootings, rig explosives to the twin towers, kill and cover for Epstein… then taking out Trump, if he’s really a threat, would be child’s play.

TRUMP: "We will abolish every Biden covid mandate and rehire every patriot who was fired from our military with an apology and full back pay."

That would be a good start.

TRUMP: "I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. I will ask for a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns, a lifetime on lobbying by former members of Congress.. a ban on members of Congress trading stocks on insider information"

Wait, I think there should be MORE taxpayer funding of campaigns, to give people a chance to get elected without selling out.

RationalModerate says

if he’s really a threat,

And there it is. Maybe he is no threat at all. I mean, look at how they cowed him into Covid lockdowns and botched medical interventions. He is either secretly on their team or too stupid/weak to stand up to them when it counts.

Trump's new campaign slogan.

Patrick says

It would be nice to see what campaigns looked like, if they relied solely on taxpayer funding and perhaps a cap on the spending as well.

Then again the U.S. is in a perpetual state of campaigning with some type of election for someone every two years so put term limits with taxpayer funding.

Is it going to happen ? None of us will ever live to see it.

Trump's new campaign slogan.

MAGAGA?

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/trumps-big-announcement-lights-up-palm-beach/

The smarter pundits had begun to wrestle with the plain fact that in any objective analysis, the GOP — including its dominant MAGA core — actually won substantial victories. If the results were more victory than defeat, and if Trump was responsible for that, would that not make him a winner? As he crowed in his announcement speech, of his 232 endorsements so far decided in the midterms, his candidates won all but 22 races. Some of those losses were admittedly jarring and perhaps even avoidable, but many were close and barely any seem to have happened simply because Trump’s fingerprints were on it. The Republicans received some five million more votes than the Democrats nationwide.

Ever the populist, Trump’s rhetoric showed another remarkable shift. This time he barely mentioned the 2020 election, which he has volubly and consistently declared stolen. Indeed, he talked far less about himself than in any speech since he left office. The movement to save America, he told his audience and the world with uncharacteristic self-effacement, transcends any one person. Defeating the power and corruption of the uniparty establishment will depend on them, and ultimately on all of us. Let us see if anyone can offer a better message as 2024 draws near.

This election was no loss for Trump
Incumbents of all bents were returned to office, and the right still has all the energy

I voted for DeSantis. He's great.
He is probably not interested in running for president.
He's got a good setup in Florida, and voter fraud there is difficult to do.
He's got young children and probably doesn't want to raise them in shitty Washington DC.
There will be massive voter fraud in many states and he's aware of it.
You couldn't pay me to move from Florida to a northeastern hellhole city, it's not worth it.
I bet DeSantis feels the same way.

The difference between Trump's speech last night and what he was saying running up to 2016 is that now he 'has the receipts', with the outlandish and obviously corrupt foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC actively destroying the country and attempting to start WWIII. Obviously, nobody would have believed it if they didn't see it.

Would you consider a hellhole city somewhere else if the price was right ?

I wonder; maybe I could go to a third world city for a ton of money.
In the third world you actually can have a great time with your money.
Vietnam, Thailand, Peru, Ecuador, Philippines etc come to mind

DD214 says

There is something to be said for being 'king of the hellhole', with hot and cold running hookers and servants operating day and night to attend to your Mandarin excesses. However, the dangers of kidnap and hostage ransom might put a little edge on the situation.

The elites hate Trump and the MAGA movement because populism gives the everyday person a say in how America runs. ...

They are utterly repulsed by the people Trump represents, and they are nothing short of disdainful of the American people who told them to shove it.

Sounds right to me.

For example, Denise Richards (a committed leftist actress) just had her truck shot by a rando road rager on her way to the studio.
Sometimes you have to leave your walled compound, and then you’re subject to the denizens of the Hell your policies have created.

What happens when CNN and all of the other news channels don't cover Trump and his rallies 24/7 like they did in 2016?

How will Trump stay relevant and win over the huge chunk of the voters he needs to win if the Media basically ignores him over the next 2 years?

Already, it seems like Trump's announcement speech was months ago and he is being eclipsed by other events.

Who are you voting against?

Trump already won twice, of course he's still popular.

Trump won't win.

clambo says

this go theyll try to lick him out via media blackout. they control a lot.

gabbar says

Trump won't win.

That is what they said the last two times he ran.

So let’s elaborate more on that. With Trump he is up against big media, big medicine, big Pharma, a weaponized DOJ and FBI. And despite all that roughly half of all living voters gave him the thumbs up in 2016 and again in 2020.
Let’s face it, the establishment elitists never thought that Hilary was going to lose. Either that or the past 6 years of 24/7 endless rheeeeee and synchronized Trump bashing by mainstream media and RINOs is just a smokescreen to divide and distract us.

Either Trump is what we think he is, the populist, or he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing playing the role of hero to the common man all the while leading them to slaughter.

If Trump wins, I will tend to believe he is the wolf. Because, I don’t believe the establishment will let him win if he is for real. That being said, how utterly ridiculous is it that now we have another special counsel investigation into Trump? Is it just theatre and he is in on it or is America now descended into a banana republic?

I’m seriously torn. Desantis is the golden boy but so much really stinks there too. Trump disappointed me. Covid and failure to take on deep state was nuts.

Desaintis really hasn't been under the national media spotlight outside of covid handling and governors race (to an extent). Real money hasn't been spent on opposition research by the DNC and PACs nationally. Everyone has a skeleton in the closet. That includes wife, relatives, any business dealings all sorts of things that a state governorship race really doesn't have the time or money, or that the DNC even cared about. They had the polling numbers and he was an incumbent in that race.

Trump is known commodity as a former POTUS with a good record economically until covid. Biden doubled down on Covid masking, stay at home and vaccines. He was the most accused candidate of absolute lies and won. Biden will be a cake walk in the debates, if he even runs. DeSantis would win too, but as I mention above the X factor is he'll be thoroughly vetted in a national election. He could have been an angel his whole life, but highly unlikely.

I don't think either will win against the deep state though, or at least eliminate it in any fashion. He needs the House and Senate by a amount of seats. Guys like Romney are still around that will vote out of spite because of the 2015-16 primaries. He's a sore loser. VP gets the tie breaker so that would help with guys like Romney. If they can get to 53-54 Senate seats that would be nice.

Other X factor is if the DNC will even let Biden run. They may put someone forward to primary him or just ask him to retire to his coffin. At the DNC convention they could surprise everyone and put in another that the opposition/Trump will have much to time research. '23-'24 are going to be interesting. I'd like Desantis, but his time will come. We do need a younger POTUS like him or someone else in 2028.

No doubt. As crazy as it is Gavin is the future for dems I believe. I find the whole Florida election very interesting. Is Florida the only state that is conservative or was this election “rigged” to get the guy they want? Something stinks I believe. It’s a shame we are in this position that after Trump we don’t trust elections anymore…..

keeprubbersidedown says

No it isn't.

You shouldn't have been trusting the elections for over a decade.

I can say this, but people wouldn't believe me in 2010. They'd just write me off as a nut.

The biggest problem that we face in fixing anything in this nation, is acknowledging the problems we have. The reason we don't have verifiable elections, is we don't have elections. It's HONESTLY quite trivial to have a verifiable election system. It's easy. Cameras are cheap, internet bandwidth is cheap. It's easy enough to collect all the ballots, have a count of the ballots FIRST, then the next day, actually sort them. Each ballot can have a matching serial number, that's easy to do. Just print out all the serial numbers and the recorded vote on each - place it on the net.

This was simple to do 30 years ago, cameras maybe not so much, but certainly by 2010. People just don't believe our elections are bullshit, YET it's super easy to validate them but they aren't, and the only explanation for that is they don't want a verifiable election system and the public is unaware of just how trivial this is to do.

Trump still hasn’t posted anything to Twitter since his reinstatement there. I think he made an agreement that he would be a Truth Social exclusive. But his final tweets of Jan 6 telling everyone to be peaceful and respectful, and of January 8, condemning in video anyone who broke the law at that time, and committing to an orderly transition, are all anyone really needs to see for the moment. Just having those available is quite a thing.

Did Trump actually win in the midterms ? I’m not so sure ? Election deniers lost big as did American First endorsed candidates . Assuming Fla is no longer a swing state ,key elections in other swing states were lost in what should have been a red wave turned into more of a mild wake .Especially when we consider the policies of Brandon that have brought to working Americans empty pockets . Trump’s legal problems still exist ,there’s division within the party and will Trump even when the parties nomination ? How would that senerio play out ? Since it’s a given he doesn’t like to lose will he bow out or run as an independent splitting the party into factions fighting one another . It’s certainly conceivable .I hate to envision a Gavin the first walking in on a blue wave . https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/kevin-mccarthys-war-against-maga/

Lol, the media hate is still a free publicity machine for Trump.
