Trump Is A Candidate For President Of The United States

A lot of conservatives would rather Trump didn’t run and see his brand as politically tainted, it will be interesting to see how this plays out along that crowd.
 
Thread could easily be titled "Libertarian reverts to authoritarianism once again."
 
Thank god for Fire TV Stick.

At least I can avoid the networks while they have this selfish narcissistic asshole plastered all over our TV sets 24 hours a day for the next two years.
 
Republicans are in a tough situation now. They can pick Trump who we already know can't beat Biden as the 2024 nominee . Or they can not pick Trump and then watch him run as an independent and split the vote, guaranteeing a democratic win in 2024.

The next couple years of Republican infighting are going to be a lot of fun to watch.
 
I don't know if there's a scenario where people will flock back to him because he's a damaged brand; especially outside of his base. The Trump choice also means the possibility of a continued political circus and election chaos; he made claims about election fraud in some of the election losses of the candidates he backed during these midterms. The Trump choice not only has to go on faith he can fix anything (he didn't really fix anything before), but what gets broken in the process.

Many American voters are still displeased with #046 - even after dems managed to keep control of the Senate. . . If we remove COVID from the equation, Trump was a much better president.
It's hard for me to come close to agreeing with this mainly because COVID was the crisis he had to face and failed pretty badly at managing it outside of Operation Warp Speed. Oh, and I thought he prison reform policy was a good one too. As a president he walked into what was an economy already on the way up, and no major international crises to deal with. Despite that, he managed to make a mess of international politics and sow discord domestically. It could have been different, but what his presidency convinced me of was that he does not have the capacity to adapt to the situation. Instead, he tries to force everything to his will.

Dems need to dump #046. Maybe Gavin Newsom?
Now that Trump is running, it could seal the deal for a Biden 2024 if the premise is this head to head is a somewhat known quantity. The problem I see with it is as it stands right now, both Trump and Biden are more or less tied in unfavorable percentages (low to mid 40s on RCP), and what I would not like to see again is an election of unpopular candidates like we did in 2016. Newsom might be a better pick against DeSantis should things go that road. What makes me question his candidacy is him being a bit further left than a centrist like Biden.

“Well, heading to Syria,” Fox Business Network editor Maria Bartiromo said, correcting him.

“Yes, heading toward Syria,” Trump said, after a brief pause.

Trump called Belgium “a beautiful city”

The only ones who think Trump has greater cognitive abilities are his bootlickers on here and have even less cognitive ability than he has.
 
God help America if that useless moron ever gets into a position of power again. As if four years of disastrous policies wasn't enough of a lesson, some idiots want to vote for even more failure!

Such weak sauce.
Do you still tell “your mom” jokes?

Wait, we pivoted to talking about Walker?
 
Watching the highlights of Hannity and Huckabee slobbering over Trump's announcement.

Sweet Jesus it's like listening to 13 year old girls drooling over a boy band. What a travesty to manhood.
Both were sporting erections under the desk.

Oh the coming civil war within the GOP. It will be delicious. Rupert Murdoch and some republicans have already drawn a line against trump. Let's see how long that lasts shall we?
They’ll cross the line and reboard the Trump train, I’m afraid.
 
He's like a bad rash that you just can't find the right ointment for. The thought of him pontification for at least another 2 years is nauseating. What will it take for this gremlin to disperse??

A lot of cash and a get-out-of-jail-free card.
 
My most fervent wish is for Trump to get ousted by the Republican party, and still deciding to run, but as a third party candidate. I hope he also decides to bring his own MAGA House candidates that'll all run third party with their dear leader.
 

Don’t forget the imaginary Armada he said was steaming toward North Korea to tell them to stop launching missiles.

Or buying Greenland.

Or redirecting hurricanes.

Or shoving world leaders,and hanging up on them.

The list is endless.
 
Conservatives: "Haha, trump is living rent free in your heads. He hasn't been in office for over two years!"
Trump: "Gonna run for President again!"
Conservatives: "Oh ffs."
I don't think Trump's supporters mind if people talk about Trump as long as they don't talk about what Trump has actually said or done. When a MAGA Republicans declare "TDS", they mean, "just be nice to Trump or don't talk about him".
 
Who is going to kiss trumps ass first to get his blessing for GOP senate leader between Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott. My money is on Scott.
No, McConnel is a puppet master. He's responsible for packing the court with people from the Spanish Inquisition delighting the religious right. He'll maintain his leader status.
 
The GOP will do just fine.

It's the Dems who have a really tough row to hoe. (IMO)
Well, now the anti-Drumpf coalition will be re-energized. Will there be a primary for the GQP I wonder? Will DeSanyis risk taking his sanctimonious anti woke bigotry up against the king of racism & hate?
 
Where were Trump's darlings? No Ivanka or Jared and even Melania snubbed his big day. Not a great start if his own family won't endorse him.
Ivanka announce she's "out of politics". I'm not sure about Jarod. Jarod owes Trump for facilitating the $2 billion of unsecured loans from the Saudis.
 
Dems just need to keep their heads down as the GOP tears themselves apart trying to divorce themselves from their messiah. I'm sure they will lose and fall back in line and worship their orange messiah once again.
They will be back in line soon. those with integrity already left.
 
Not only was this expected, but now we get to see where the Republican Party really goes. The civil war between these factions will be popcorn ready to watch.
