The prospect of TFG announcing a new presidential campaign

[no_hypocrisy]

Another excuse to "fund-raise" and keep the money.

Get the RNC to pay for his rallies where he blathers.

Making Truth Social into a rolling lecture series.

Making the media focus on him, not the J6 hearings.

He's bored at Bedminster.

He misses the adoration of his minions. Likely the only thing that sustains him these days.

Better ratings than Biden or Cheney.

Why not? He's out of ideas.

1. And to keep others from running.

Many have said they won't run if he does.

2. ...and more towns and cities to stiff when $ comes due for protecting this POS.

5. They can start banning Chump's rallies, if they're smart

I can see that happening in certain cities. But Chump mostly avoids cities anyway, too many - ahem - "antifa" there.

3. And watch the delighted TV news people fawn over him to get access

4. The spectacle of another Trump run will hopefully destroy what's left of the Republican party.

[Bayard]

6. Bring it

The race won't even be close. Hurray for the Jan. 6 Committee!

7. Fuck trump.

[FalloutShelter]

8. Fuck the MSM for continually pumping hot air into that flat balloon.

9. Like with Sarah Palin

he's never really gone away, never changed. The prospect of him running for POTUS again is, frankly, horrifying and sickening.

[Novara]

10. All of the above, plus ...

... he thinks if he steals another election it means he's immune to prosecution. I've gotta think that motivates him more than anything else.

11. Trump wants to undercut Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy before the midterms: former GOP lawmaker

TFG wants to put himself on the ballot for the 2022 midterms and to undercut McCarthy and MoscowMitch if the GOP does well. This will be fun to watch

Reacting to a report that Donald Trump is giving serious thought to announcing his 2024 presidential run very soon, one former GOP lawmaker suggested the former president has multiple motives -- one of them being undercutting the GOP leadership team of Sen. Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy......

"Donald Trump is going to plan an announcement for two reasons," he began. "One, vanity, secondly, strategy."

"The vanity is he cannot let Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell retake Congress and make the story about McCarthy and Mitch McConnell," he explained. "He has to make Republicans resurgent in November about him, so he has to jump in front of the parade -- that's vanity."

"Strategy is because [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis is nipping at his heels," he added. "As soon as Ron DeSantis is reelected in Florida, should that happen, all eyes will turn toward whether Ron DeSantis is running. I actually think Ron DeSantis is running. I think he is currently passing Donald Trump, and it's very easy for DeSantis after his November election."

If the GOP win controls of the House or the Senate, TFG wants to claim credit.

I want TFG to be in effect on the ballot. The more we make the mid teerms about TFG, the better off Democratic candidates will do

12. He thinks it will prevent indictment.

He will take the OLC memo all the way to SCOTUS and expect a "STAY OUT OF JAIL FREE" card.

[misanthrope]

13. That's the biggest reason in his fevered little mind

He is scared.
