My guess is Trump is running because someone is paying him to run. Another distraction from reality. We already know he took a million from Pfizer; who's to say he's not making more such deals?
I really need to win the Lottery. It’s been great to connect here with so many reasonable people, but I really cannot endure another two years of wash, rinse, repeat. And if Trump was to win, that’s four more years of playground politics...at our expense. I agree with Al Bundy.... just shoot me.
Oh, God, I almost choked……”just shoot me”……I get why you said that…….hours ago, I was calm and collected about how pleasantly surprised and pleased I was with Trump last night. Then so many people here started analyzing in depth Trump’s method of operation…….people here that I pay attention to…….that I agree with you…….just shoot me……….I just threw my hands up……heading to the closet to eat my weight in bon bons now.
I just polished off the remains of our Halloween Candy. It really doesn’t matter what any of our assessments of Trump were or are...look at what Congress did to him, we all know the list of “ trumped up” charges. Don Jr was interrogated behind closed doors by Congress for 13 hours...grilled about campaign donations to comping his college buds at a Trump resort... Hunter Biden? That’s really the best simple example I can give of the ridiculous hypocrisy that will only escalate. And criticizing Biden will be deemed “ pathetic what aboutism” and disrespectful of an aging Statesman.....🤮🤮🤮. It’s sad that our government is FUBAR corrupt but they are and that’s a juggernaut that’s not going to be broken .
I appreciate SimCom for gathering a fantastic group of commenters. I’m left mulling over a summary of the comment questions. What IS Trump? Is he a “useful Idiot for the Deep State” as Lillia Gajewski wrote? Or, an uncapturable outsider that the Deep State fears? A cunning strategist or a handicapped narcissist? Controlled opposition in one of many possible ways? Does the phenomenon of Trump matter more than what Trump does? How will the intense emotions of the Trump movement be used to manipulate, herd and divide the R brand and the D brand? What are DeSantis and Trump cooking up between them with their “rivalry” in the art of war? What does Trump believe, and what will he do, about the plandemic elephant in the room? Is he waiting until the Republican house investigates? What does any of this matter if elections are not transparent and fair? The more I think I know, the more I am aware of what we don’t know. And the show goes on….
I don't see either side repeating their 2020 mistakes. No, there will be new POTUS candidates, and they will make 2024 mistakes, you know, the ones no-one is anticipating.
I don't think Trump wants the job, just revenge. Me too. But he's more strategic than most people give him credit for. The art of the deal is like Sun Tzu, strike where unexpected. "Let your plans be as dark and inpenetrable as night." He and Ron have it all planned out.
The greatest benefit of the election will be the public revelations of the pandemic fraud. Even the dumbest disciples will get a heavy dose of exposure to the truth. Everybody is going to want revenge. Dems are going to become endangered species.
You know, that would be the ultimate trolling, Trump and DeSantis setting it up like that. First Trump ropes the (D)opes, then steps aside and lets DeSantis knock'em down. If that came to pass, I wouldn't be surprised to see DT be put in charge over a real lightning rod of a department - like the one responsible for border security. The media's TDS would focus so hard on DT, DeSantis could do the helicopter in the Oval Office and no one would notice.

An NBC News correspondent has been suspended after his Today report on the details of the attack on Paul Pelosi was later retracted by the network.
Miguel Almaguer was suspended pending an internal investigation, The Daily Beast reported. A source confirmed the suspension.

"Trump Announces Run" would have been a surprise if it'd been him going for a jog.
Yeah. Isn't "Trump Announces Run" sort of a dog bites man story? I want to hear about *real* man bites dog stories!
😁 😆 😅 😂
Trying to change things up; and, it's gotten harder to listen to politics news the past 5 days or so.

Wow! Those are some tough questions. Even a know-it-all like me is basically stumped.
And could it be that DJT is so far off the "normal" track/path/human that he is all those things at once?
Are we all living in The Truman Show?
The Trumpman show you mean.
We don't call it that, Sim234789234
Can we move on to Sim234789235?
Uh-oh. The Commander doesn't usually resort to technical mumbo-jumbo.
This could be serious, peeps.
TERM LIMITS!!!! Hell yeah he said it.
Operation WarpSpeed. He owns it, claims it is a grand accomplishment and brags about it to this day. He paved the way for vaccine mandates.
Trump is probably the only candidate Biden can beat.

Hey, SimCom, wake up, the natives are restless!!!
Not restless enough to show up with booze!
You snooze, you lose.
At this point you need a dictator. A Lincoln who isn’t afraid to burn a city to the ground “Sherman’s march from San Fran to the sea”.
Jail journalists, jail political opponents, force through emergency legislation and root out all the communists.
Or you know, keep telling yourself how great that moral high ground us, from under the boot on your neck.
Yes, this is always the temptation from the beginning of civilization. "Please daddy, fix everything!"
Well…keep voting I guess. Lol
SimComm is asleep. Gotta love how he drops "bad" news on us and then bails....;)
Yeah. Wake him up, I say.
Don't do it, it's a trap!
Arrrgh!
Hmm...but at least we start the battle now. It looks like it will take a while.
Pop some corn.
If Trump loses in primaries he goes 3d party. Make no mistake, this is about him and always has been.
I don't know. He's awfully old. Let's see if Mr. DeSantis can win over DJT's hardcore supporters.
