will Trump run ? interesting take

[VitaMan]

Donald Trump will run for president again, because he feels like he has no other choice, according to a conservative commentator.


The former president hasn't decided when he'll announce his campaign, but The Bulwark columnist Charlie Sykes says Trump wants back into the race for the power and money, but mostly to satisfy his ego and exact revenge, and he knows he must move quickly.


"Trump may not be a deep strategic thinker, but he understands that if he doesn’t run he instantly becomes irrelevant, and an embarrassing and deplorable artifact of political history," Sykes writes. "You’d be amazed how fast he never happened. The money would dry up, the ring kissing would fade away.


The longer he waits, the louder the whispers grow about Ron DeSantis, so he needs to quickly freeze the rest of the field, and multiple criminal investigations into his business and presidency are picking up speed.


"This may be wishcasting on his part, but Trump has a long history of successfully bullying prosecutors and regulators," Sykes writes. "By announcing, he thinks he can change the subject from his role in the insurrection .


Republicans don't want Trump to announce before November, if they want him to run at all, because that would turn the midterm into a referendum on him -- which could hurt GOP candidates but personally delight the attention-starved former president.


"Team Normal understand that Trump’s early announcement is a huge gift to Joe Biden and the Democrats, who otherwise can’t seem to catch a break," Sykes writes. "Trump, to put it mildly, doesn’t give a sh*t, and hopes to take credit for the expected Republican sweep. And, again, it puts the squeeze on DeSantis, who is running for re-election in Florida this November."

What a disaster this would be for the Make America a Joke Again Swamp Cleaning Party...The only way China ‘Handsie’ Joe wins re-election is if this dumb narcissistic mother fucker puts his hat in the ring and if he indeed does it before the mid-terms it’s proof his ego is truly out of control.

... Blimey! ... Charlie Sykes is conservative??
Hmmmmm... reckon he's as "conservative" as the lads
from National Review...

Obviously will take same credit for Republicans Winning
come November - as Trump has made nearly 200 endorsements
and has WON all but 10 of 'em...

Trump can announce or not announce whenever He wants.
And ...uh.. HOW is Trump "attention starved"??

HE is leading in the polls - WAAAAAY ahead of DeSantis
and any other Republican... And Trump is the odds-on
favourite to Win the White House in 2024.

How much MORE attention does He need??
Trump already has all YOUR attention, Vita... Day and night.

Newt Gingrich said last night that he has talked to Trump and asked him not to announce before mid terms. I hope Trump takes his advice.

That was definitely good advice. Trump better take it too.

Newt Gingrich, Trump whisperer...Lmao...I can imagine Trump waiting about 2 seconds to get out of earshot from Newt to say, “Fuck him!”...Where is Steve Bannon when Trump’s ego needs him?...At least with Ivana gone now after her Stairway Hip Hop Workout Routine setback there is one less cheerleader to Rah Rah Trumpie on!

I hope he doesnt run. Especially as a 3rd party candidate!
His ego can/will destroy the party.

I don't know who this Charles Sykes is but he doesn't seem all that smart. Doing it for the money? Trump and his family all lost money when he was president. Someone tell Mr. Sykes that little truth. The power...you mean waking up every morning with a target on the back and radical democrats spraying spittle from their mouths 30 minutes after he got elected in 2016.

No, Trump needs to be president to go burnt earth on the swamp.

Trump's Ego will destroy the Republican Party and Biden's blatant stupidity will destroy the Democratic Party. This country really has seen some better days.

And much to my dismay, the upcoming generation seems to fall right in line with this new Democrat party that cares nothing about sound economic policies and at this point, appears to be only interested in so called LBGTQ+ "rights", like biological males competing against biological females and destroying the energy policy that made us the economic power we "use to be".

The Democratic Party has unleashed the misfit generation.

Yes we will. Especially if Twitler plays hard. If he backs away, maybe the fall of the GOP waits another cycle. But trumpism is a sickness.

Have they ever. If they don't see it on TicTok or Instagram, it has no meaning to them and what they do see and read on those social media platforms, has nothing to do with making sound economic and foreign policy decisions.


For anybody with young children, I hope you are enrolling them in Mandarin classes, they need it.
