Trump considering trolling Biden inauguration with 2024 campaign event: report
Published 2 hours ago

By Meaghan Ellis, AlterNet


President Donald Trump may be leaving the White House in the very near future, but it does not look like he will be going away, as promised, anytime soon.

The lame duck president is already strategizing for a 2024 presidential run to regain control of the White House, according to The Daily Beast. The publication reports that insiders close to the situation have revealed details about the president’s latest plot.

Two knowledgeable inside sources have also revealed Trump is going a step further, mulling over the possibility of holding a 2024 campaign-related event the week of Biden’s inauguration if his post-election legal battle ultimately falls flat.

Trump and his campaign advisors are reportedly already seeking out major donors for his next presidential run. Although some donors are not pleased with the president’s antics, and one has even filed a lawsuit against the Trump campaign demanding they return his post-election contribution, surprisingly, there are still many donors willing to contribute to a new Trump run. In fact, some still believe the delusion that he still has a chance of a consecutive second term.

“I 100% believe Donald Trump will win this election in the end,” said Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and Minnesota co-chair for Trump 2020. “But any day that we can have President Trump as our president is a blessing. So if that would happen, yes, I would fully support any opportunity for him to serve the American people for as many terms as possible.”

What he can't comprehend is that Biden won't give a flip if Donny has a 2024 rally that week. Because Biden's an actual grownup.

Trump's positional power will all go away after Jan. 20. Poof!

He'll just be a regular citizen with his carnival barker routine. I believe the MSM just won't care about him any more. I mean, what's news about his shennigans if he's not President? Unless he does something illegal or is indicted. Time for his cult to go off into the woods and wither on a vine.

Publicly paid staff at his elbow for every whim and wish, af-1, marine-1, overwhelming staff presence everywhere he goes, and the press HAD to follow him.

Poof. Now he has to pay his bills or the limo driver won't even show up anymore. And all of those aides will be long gone. None will stick around. Who will do the leg work required to produce an event that size? He will even have to pay for security. He will only get a skeleton crew of ss, and they will tell him to piss off if he wants to hold large rallies.

to place an over sized one over his ample face.

I saw an episode of Intervention with this guy, he was hooked on all kinds of things. One would think he would be a more empathetic person after experiencing the horrors of addiction. The way he is hog tied to trump tells me he learned nothing.

no support. Got them as a gift, worst pillows ever! Absolute junk, looked like they were stuffed with pieces leftover from making mattresses.

The My Pillow guy is a marketing huckster, the same type of con man as Trump. He floods the TV with ads bragging about his company and glowing testimonials so consumers think he's selling a quality product.

Like Trump Steaks, those cheapo pillows are nothing more than a marketing scam. They are a total ripoff!

Pieces on my clothes for weeks ( even after cleaning out the lint catcher several times) and then the dryer died and I had to replace it.

The mere fact he is starting his 2024 run so early is about EGO and nothing more. Trump wants to avoid any LEGAL hassle that comes his way.

I say, pour the heat on and turn up the temperature.

The venues, sound design teams, seat and stage rental etc will force payment up front as will the police and emergency services. Nobody will go by the "honor system" with him anymore once he's out of office.

He's going to have to pay to get there plus pay for everyone else to get there like the Secret Service, his pals and sycophants, family.

He'll have to pay for his family's security team.

The big news organizations won't be assigned to cover these since they aren't newsworthy enough so if he wants coverage he's going to have to give them space on the plane too, ka-ching!

It's possible his mega donors will keep dumping money into his "campaign" but they won't keep pouring the millions he'll need to fund these for four more years. I'd guess that pretty soon #Traitor will have to charge his cult to attend. That's going to make a dent in his attendance sparking a vicious cycle of diminishing returns...

The logistics and cash demands are going to crush these fast.

If they don't see major effect from it, then he'll be out of pocket for the next time he wants to rail at a crowd.

It's always been said he enjoys the campaigning part more than the job - he immediately started his 2020 campaign directly after inauguration so he could start making money from it. He just wants an audience, preferably those who will praise him. And money, of course.

One last government contract or lease. One last chance to get a pardon for some relative or business associate. The second Twitler leaves office they will scatter.

Plus Trump at 78 will be very different than Biden at 78. Trump is overweight. He has an awful diet. And he does not exercise.
