Trump has told associates he will run again in 2024 if he's healthy enough, report says

Former President Donald Trump has told close associates that he plans to run for the White House again in 2024 provided that he's in good health, Politico reported on Thursday.

The former president's standing in the party took a fall in the wake of the January 6 insurrection on the US Capitol.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as White House physician under Trump, also recently told Insider's Kimberly Leonard that he believes Trump will run again.

"He has been saying he's going to. He's seriously considering it - he's probably going to do it - so we'll see what happens," Jackson said.

We all thought his nomination in 2016 was a sure-fire win for Hillary Clinton, and we've spend every second since that time regretting that short-sightedness.

Never underestimate the cruelty and hatred of the Trumpsters. They''ll do anything to bring about their nightmare vision of the U.S.

Their fanaticism makes the 9/11 hijackers look like weekend dilettantes.

nominee either by not voting or voting for people like Jill Stein with regards from the likes of Susan Sarandon, Briana Joy Gray, Nina Turner, David Sirota, etc.

That trap that you refer to was put to bed in 2020

Getting out the vote is the key

It won’t matter if the nominee is trump or someone else, the Republican Party today is trump

That Trump rallies and campaigns for 3 years and then backs away to let Haley, Noem or DeSantis run.

money. His niece Mary said that he won't run again. His ego would not be able to handle it if he lost again and he won't take that chance.

I just don't want him to run because I don't want him back in the spotlight again. We can't be dragged through the nightmare of him again, even if it is just for the duration of the campaign period.

If he doesn't run, will he return all the illegally collected donations?
I sincerely doubt it.
