In the twilight of his presidency, Donald Trump is discussing different ways to disrupt the impending Joe Biden era, chief among them by announcing another run against him.

According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch. The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden’s inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.

Trump’s scheming about a future White House run is both an implicit recognition that he views his own current legal efforts as longshots and a reflection of his inherent desire to maintain political power and public attention.

According to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter, the president has privately bragged that he’d still remain in the spotlight, even if Biden is in the Oval Office, in part because the news media will keep regularly covering him since—as Trump has assessed—he gets the news outlets ratings and those same outlets find Biden “boring.”

1. Maybe info wars will carry it..

No one else will....

[Cameliano]

2. He better watch his obesity so he doesn't have a heart attack

In the next four years.
Obese people have a heightened chance of dying at his age.

[JI7]

3. Remember how he said he already knows what he is going to do on Inauguration Day

but he isn't going to tell anyone yet ?

Something like this is exactly what I have been thinking about. BUT doesn't he have to pay for a place to hold a rally and all the other things ? I'm guessing since he is no longer PResident he will not have certain access or easily be able to do certain things.

Things like having to pay up front for renting places would prevent him from doing it.

[Maeve]

4. Yep--there goes Air Force One, for example

However, he NEVER pays unless they force him to up-front!

[bullimiami]

17. he wont be able to grift off the payment for his expenses anymore. as president, noone would enforce

any rules, payments or take him to court.

that will be over. so besides funding his lavish lifestyle, he will actually have to pay his expenses from the campaign slush fund.

[Alliepoo]

22. I thought if he officially announces a run for 2024

That he can use these so called campaign events to make $$ and run payments for everything thru the “campaign”.. Its disgusting.

[Joinfortmill]

5. Never mind Trump - focus on the Georgia Senate races.

[Siwsan]

6. Everyone involved in staging the production had better ask to be paid, in cash, up front

Otherwise he will undoubtedly stiff them like the campaign has stiffed so many other venues/workers during the 2020 campaign.

7. Pathetic and small.

Let's just forget this insignificant loser.

[True Blue American]

8. This is all that matters now.

9. Who says he's unpredictable?

[UpInArms]

10. And they can stream it on Russia Today

What a dolt

Edited to add:

No one will be watching the hasbeen

They will be looking to a brighter future

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Sorry Donny, but

you refuse to acknowledge that you lost. Therefore you won. And since you won, you can't run for a third term in 2024.

There you go: Trump-Think

[Just_Vote_Dem]

12. I thought this a while ago

Knowing his psychology and his need to grift, figured it was a slam-dunk

[tman]

13. Trump is a media creation. They'll NEVER abandon him.

So he's right about the last part.

[Tanuki]

14. I know that he is entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest

of his life, but are we going to be on the hook for the massive costs involved in providing security for him in huge events like this? That would b e intolerable.

[Iliyah]

15. shithole will continue to counter Biden/Harris over the 4 years and beyond .....

I'm pretty sure they know that. shithole refuse to gracefully, well he never was graceful nor considerate.

Majority of Americans are tired of shithole and ready to move on to a more lifting attitude and hopeful that the next administration will tackle COVID-19 and the economy. Most Americans know we are in deep doo doo with COVID-19 and the economy.

[spanone]

16. Suspected this weeks ago.

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. It will be known as the Loserpaluzza show. nt

[Tanuki]

19. Hahaha! Gonna steal this!

[dweller]

20. if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails

Wtf ... does that even mean ?

✌🏻

[durablend]

21. Told ya!

Wouldn't *at all* be surprised if he's 'sworn in' as the 'real president' (for his flock) on that day.

[marmar]

23. Because a POS is gonna POS

[Yavin4]

24. As I predicted!!!

[Thekaspervote]

25. He says a lot of things....most never happen

[mahina]

26. Joe doesn't care

If DiaperDon is on TV.

[David__77]

27. I think defeating Trump politically and legally is very important.

I do not think that this has necessarily occurred in the final analysis. Trumpism must be exterminated politically. He is a not just pro-fascist, he is pro-coup.
