What Excuses Will Trump Give For Not Running in 2024?

[Seymour Flops]

I don't see the same economic schizophrenia in DeSantis as in Trump,

Not sure what you mean by that.

nor the racism towards anyone who is not white.

Wait until DiSantis is nominated for president. Then the media will make up racism for him and you will believe it like you believe “Trump is racist.”

Trump did capitalize an anti-elite blowback that is also seen in europe, and maybe elsewhere. And DeSantis shares that, and may actually believe in it. And I'm not sure it's such a bad thing, either.

Agreed.

Trump posed as an authoritarian, while he's personally a libertine who violates any law or contract that is inconvenient to him personally.

You’re in the ballpark of right. Trump never posed as an authoritarian, the media unfairly called him one just as they unfairly called him racist. Some evidence that he is either.

If he were more authoritarian, he would have built the walls instead of kowtowing to Congress over it. He would have put immigration on a “we need you,” basis instead of the current “we know you need to bee here, so we want you to come” basis. Which was the basis under all presidents between Reagan and Trump, regardless of party.

I’m sure you know people who allow themselves to be pushed around, and when they finally do take a stand it turns out to be over something ignorant and they look like a fool. That’s what Trump did on Jan 6th. He finally became authoritarian in order to push his Hail Mary pass of getting congress to not certify the election.

For some reason, the last year had convinced him that riots are an acceptable way to bring about political changes. Jan 6th was a stain on Trump’s record, but I’d rather that than another Democrat for whole the challenge is finding the clean spot, not the stains.

Turmp is certainly authoritarian in his personal morals or business actions but only to the point that he does what he personally wants. DeSantis is also an authoritarian, but he may believe that laws should apply to everyone equally ... unless its abortion, of course. LOL

Who does DeSantis not want abortion laws to apply to?

OK, at least I know what you're talking about now.
We'll see if the DOJ is interested in any charges against Trump.
The FBI already said there was no evidence Trump was involved in the violence of J6, do keep up.

FBI finds no evidence that Trump and his allies were directly involved with organizing the violence of the Capitol riot: report

The FBI has not found evidence of an "organized plot" to overturn the election, and it hasn't found any evidence that Trump organized the violence.

If you want to see what a real "insurrection" looks like look at this. Not sure how old you were in 1993?

That article is from August 2021. A whole lot of new information has come out since. The investigation is a long way from being closed.

Which do you think the left hates more? Jesus Christ or Donald Trump?

I think Jesus weeps over the profound hypocrisy of the religious Right.

 

[g5000]

You’ll hate DeSantis with the same emotionally disturbed passion as you hate Trump.

If he slashes the deficit, I will be first in line to praise him.

 

[g5000]

It may get to the point where Trump supporters are the RINO’s

They already are, and always have been.

Trump is most certainly an authoritarian. He was just too ignorant and stupid to know there are safeguards against assholes like him.

He did his best to tear those safeguards down, with the assistance of self-loathing lickspittles, but we managed to squeak through.

It's not the time to even consider the deficit.

Just because you are a mindless media sheep doesn't mean everyone else else is.

And ol Ronnie will have some past actions to answer for, like moderating a Facebook group that welcomed racist memes.

 

[g5000]

It's not the time to even consider the deficit.

It is way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way past time to consider the deficit.

Our debt is the single greatest threat to the security of the United States.

Not abortions. Not homosexuals. Not Mexicans. Not Muslims.

The debt.

We never recovered from the DOT COM crash.

The Federal Reserve has caved to public pressure and become all about pain avoidance. The public and the business sector do not want to pay the price of their mistakes.

But by pushing the pain down the road, the inevitable pain will be that much greater.

The piper has to be paid.

As we used to say in the military, "It's a real shit sandwich, and everybody has to take a bite."

It was an attempted SELF COUP DE'TAT.... which requires no physical attack, it is done when a legally elected leader, abuses his power to ILLEGALLY stay in power.

I’m sure several hundred million homeless and starving will work out real well.
It’s obvious you feel you won’t pay the price, but when your bank accounts have $0.00, you’ll change your tune.

Several hundred million starving.

In a country of 340 million.

If Trump does not run in 2024 I am more interested in what excuses the left here in D.C. in the media and all across the country will make up to keep talking about him. It seems that those who wanted Trump gone the most are those that are having the hardest time moving on from him.

Look at how many of your heroes are grabbing their ankles for him. Go whine to them, they are the ones keeping him relevant.

You fell for Trump's hoax that the wall was almost finished. You DESERVE to be lied to. Only about 80 miles of NEW fencing was built. Even your own link says most of the 458 miles of work was improvement to existing wall.
And I'm sorry, but your geography sucks. The border with Mexico is a LOT longer than 458 miles. The wall was nowhere near finished.

You post lies with no proof. I post links that prove my assertions. Your lie that only 80 miles of "new" wall was constructed is based on areas that had no old wall. The short dilapidated old wall was REPLACED WITH TALL NEW WALL, DUH.

https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-02-07/how-much-of-president-donald-trumps-border-wall-was-built

"The vast majority of the 458 miles were constructed in places where some kind of barrier already existed, but most of the preexisting structures were far less imposing than the new wall and included fencing and rudimentary technical barriers. The total figure also includes what the agency calls “secondary border wall” or sections of wall built behind preexisting barriers that ultimately remained in place."

You want a list of the scandals, indictments, and resignations, do ya?

Challenge accepted!
Roger Stone guilty on all counts in federal trial of lying to Congress, witness tampering
First sentencing in Mueller probe: Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan gets 30 days in prison, $20,000 in fines
Michael Cohen pleads guilty to making false statements to Congress
Rick Gates, Trump Campaign Aide, Pleads Guilty in Mueller Inquiry and Will Cooperate
Tom Price, Trump’s scandal-plagued HHS secretary, is stepping down
George Papadopoulos: The Mueller Probe's First Guilty Plea
Interior Secretary Zinke resigns amid investigations
Lobbyist Sam Patten Pleads Guilty to Steering Foreign Funds to Trump Inaugural
Steve Bannon, three others charged with fraud in border wall fundraising campaign

Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy charged in illegal lobbying campaign​

Rudy Giuliani’s DC law license is suspended​

Pruning the list to items somewhat connected to Trump:
Rinky-dink "crimes". 30-days in jail? The "scandals and crimes and resignations" you list are damning when you look at them collated in a list. Nice work. I can push back here and there, like Comey's setup of General Flynn for a "perjury trap". Michael Cohen's crimes had zero to do with Trump. Steve Bannon stole wall money, so I hope he dies in prison, etc. Price, Zinke, Broidy, are all crooks, I hope they go to prison.
Your list is why I'm not supporting Trump in the 2024 primary, assuming he even runs.

Your next "challenge" is to defend Joe Biden's list of disasters.

So, being on the left, you 100% support Trump being the Republican Nominee...as you are confident he will lose...correct?

1000%
MAGA

The DOJ doesn't have an active investigation open. All you have is a one-sided "kangaroo court".
