Officially file his next campaign (2024) with the Federal Election Commission, thereby allowing him to hold campaign rallies for the next four years and collect donations.
If you will recall, he filed on inauguration day 2017 for his 2020 re-election bid. He never merged his 2016 campaign committee with the party committee, and the separate Trump campaign committee continued to raise donations for the 2020 election.
This will allow Trump to continue his feel-good rallies that keep his followers hyped-up on their 2 minutes of hate as Trump feeds off their adoration - all the while collecting donations and selling campaign merchandise.
According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), there are several permissible things that a candidate can do with the money theyve received while fundraising. They can use it for moving expenses, pay campaign staff, purchase gifts of nominal value to those who arent a member of their family, donate it to charity, move it to a state or local party committee, transfer it to a future campaign, or to a state or local candidate.
Transfer it to Ivanka? Junior? Keep his own campaign going until he dies?
Trump and his spawn could potentially wreak havoc for years to come.

(90,766 posts)Trump needs to be pushed off the public stage with no chance of his return. Including his spawn.

(6,377 posts)When people lose at the presidential level, that's typically it for them, because they now have a "loser" brand, and people remember it and don't like voting for them.

But I don't want his children in the public eye either.

(90,766 posts)I just want him completely removed from the equation. Along with his spawn.

(2,977 posts)Theres a reason Putin is going to ground, reportedly. The Russian mob will want their money. Now that hes not going to be President hes of no more value. The bill is due. Putins operation has failed. Biden will not let his actions go unanswered.

(22,124 posts)for trump in the future. I'd like to 100% claim that trump's days are numbered and over with, but that's a pipe dream I suspect.
I'm waiting for the flood of lawsuits that are waiting in the wings. Also, we do have from the Mueller report a unnamed person not charged yet w/ a crime(s) but should have been, obviously we all know who this is.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, that trump will issue pardons to all of his mafia buddies before too long, and will somehow be paid off. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Solly Mack
(90,766 posts)He'll probably issue a mass pardon, I agree.

(17,538 posts)He is no longer the new, exciting millionaire of the common people. I do not believe that the Republican leadership will back him, with anything but lip service, going forward. He is an old man with old schtick. He is done politically.
Solly Mack

Not sure about the Republican leadership. They aren't exactly better.

(13,552 posts)He wants to keep the adulation events going to feed his ego, and to feed his bank accounts he'll keep soliciting donations.
Unless repubs get some balls and shut this guy down they're going to be saddled with Trumpism for at least a decade.
Solly Mack
(90,766 posts)And it would stop the rallies. Except for those his followers held outside the prison walls.
I just can't see any healing as long as his victims don't get justice.

(90,766 posts)Or, he could be held accountable for what he did at the border.
I want him held accountable. By that I mean charged and imprisoned. Because he is guilty.
Not just him - but those folks can share a cell with him.
