Trump reveals he will hold rallies in battleground states 'soon'

Donald Trump has revealed plans to return to his signature MAGA rallies in battleground states including Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Georgia 'relatively soon'.

Speaking on Thursday, the former President said the rallies would resume in the coming weeks, amid speculation he will run for the White House again in 2024.

'Relatively soon, we'll be doing one in Florida, we're gonna do one in Ohio, we're gonna do one in Georgia, we're gonna do one in North Carolina,' Trump told One America News.

'We'll be announcing them very soon over the next week or two, and I think we'll probably start in Florida and Ohio and we'll be announcing the rallies very shortly.'

He is keeping on the move. It isn't like he travels on commercial airlines that pass through TSA. Plus, all the states that are mentioned have Republican governors.

He may be stirring up the base to threaten violence as a way of dissuading NY or the Feds to press charges.

But men in fatigues armed with AR-15's shouldn't be allowed to enter Capitol buildings and intimidate State Legislators like they did in MI last year.

Nor should Cliven Bundy been allowed to get away with not paying the fees for his use of government land, and then call in the RW militias when he is on the verge of getting arrested.

Funny how these Republicans in Congress don’t want to have a 1/6 Commission because they want to “move on,” yet they’re going to be stuck with Trump doing constant “I wuz robbed” rallies for the next 18 months.

I mean that’s what these rallies are going to be, right? Just two-hour-long whinefests about how Trump thinks he’s still president.

Sad!

But they'll be non stories soon after than and people will stop showing up.

He's going to charge admission too.

His “loyal” followers won’t even go to his blog..why would they bother going to a rally where instead of being paid to attend...they have to pay.

Except to keep the insurrectionists riled up, and create more violence and division?

The only thing he's running for is to get away from various prosecutions.

Get the money up front.
Require a 3 million security deposit or you'll get screwed.

His campaign stiffed nearly every city he performed in during his presidency, because they had to pay for police overtime and other expenses to protect him and were stiffed by the Trump campaign. The same reasoning doesn't apply now that he's a private sentence, so make him pay up front.
