Donald Trump privately discussing running for 2024 elections!

[MenInG]

The thing refuses to go!

===

President Trump has already told advisers he's thinking about running for president again in 2024, two sources familiar with the conversations tell Axios.

Why it matters: This is the clearest indication yet that Trump understands he has lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden — even as the president continues to falsely insist that he is the true winner, that there has been election fraud and that his team will fight to the end in the courts.

Presidents are limited to serving two terms but they need not be consecutive.
Officials with the Trump campaign and White House could not immediately be reached for comment.
Be smart: Aides advising Republicans who are likely to run in 2024 are dreading the prospect of a Trump run given the extraordinary sway he holds over millions of GOP voters.

Even four years after leaving office, he could remain formidable in a Republican primary.
That fact alone could freeze the ambitions, fundraising and staffing of individual candidates — and of the Republican National Committee as it seeks to regroup and move beyond Trump.

Don't forget: On the day he was inaugurated, in 2017, Trump filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to qualify as a 2020 candidate.

I think it is over for him permanently. I don't see him winning again. Trumpism was a fad.

Trumpism is not a fad. Racism always existed in the american society albeit slightly under the surface. He has scratched that veneer off. On the way, He was actively enabled by the republican apparatus and guess what 70M people liked it.
The result is, We now have elected a member of congress that is an active subscriber to QAnon that spouts conspiracy theories like Senior Democratic leaders are part of a pedophile ring run out of a pizza parlor in DC (I kid you not).
A sitting US senator and chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee no less , advocated scrapping PA's election ballots and replace it with electoral college members selected by the PA legislature (controlled by Repubs).
South Dakota's Republican Governor while being interviewed refused to accept the results and alleged voter fraud without providing an iota of evidence.

This will not go away with a swish of a wand. This is the new norm.

President Donald Trump has sacked Defence Secretary Mark Esper, announcing on Twitter that the top US official has been "terminated".

Christopher Miller, the current head of the National Counterterrorism Center, will take on the role immediately.

It follows a public falling-out between Mr Trump and Mr Esper in recent weeks.

Mr Trump has so far not conceded the US election to President-elect Joe Biden, and has vowed to challenge the projected result in court.

Mr Esper clashed with the president over the White House's use of the military to quell public unrest during protests over racial injustice earlier this year.

In the weeks before Mr Biden takes office on 20 January, Mr Trump is still empowered to make decisions.

Thats a good sign that atleast transition will happen, it still looks messy.

One should know when they have lost.

I know what you are saying. However, Trumpism was not just about racism. It was also about other factors (nationalism was one). Trump attracted many black voters too.

Trumpism was a complex combination of many factors (including racism).

The MAGA movement is well and truly established. Even if Trump doesn't run in 2024, someone else will on his vision.

70M MAGA voters. The Republicans must embrace MAGA if they want the votes.

It's possible IF Biden somehow has a worse term.

I don't know much about American politics, but surely the Republicans would want a more controllable asset. Trump's vision can easily be repeated using a more polished politician.

Very good last point. Trump is a lose cannon. I don know if republicans will want to hang on to him personally. They can do the same thing with another guy. Ted Cruz maybe

Trump will be 78, he'll be too old. I know people will say Biden almost 78 and really old but those are exceptions, he in fact broke Trump's record of being the oldest person elected (He was 70 in 2016). More likely one of Trump's children like Trump Jr will run for office, his kids all have aspirations for high office and are already well networked with the Republicans and other alt right figures. Trumpism has sort of replaced the Republican establishment now so I think Republican who wants to run now has to inherit Trump's coalition and run with the MAGA ideology - however it is too soon see what the world will be like in 2024.

There is a hush hush dilemma for republicans right now that nobody wants to talk about openly. Whether to embrace trumpism or go back to the Republican roots before trumpism. They know trumpism lost but it does have a massive support. They don’t know whether they show cut all ties and regroup or go all in.

One things for sure they wouldn’t want a another trump in charge again. It hurt them big time. The trumps talked a good game but they played poorly and weren’t able to accomplish any of the stuff they talked about. The wall was never built. Didn’t get anywhere with China, manufacturing is not back at all. And people kind of jumped ship in the administration all the time. It was chaotic. The career politicians don’t like this stuff.

My prediction is they will disavow trump in a year or two and and start a new platform for 2024, with Rubio and Nikki Haley and Romney, Santorum, Et al.

After people will ultimately be unhappy with this administration, he unfortunately will have a chance. So not the worst idea unless the whole Republican Party completely shuns him

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He should use the slogan MAGAAA Make America Great Again Again Again

Well this time he used KAG - Keep America Great.

His hostile takeover of the GOP will retain influence. Looks like he is going on tour again, whipping up a renewed sense of grievance.

I reckon Ivanka vs Kamala 2024.

It’s a good sign that Trump is ready to concede 2020, which he should do imminently and graciously. Despite increasing his popular share and getting a truckload of votes, Biden simply performed better than him on all fronts. Trump has clearly lost this particular ballot.

I can nevertheless definitely see President Trump making a comeback in 2024, and whipping up a lot of support once more. MAGA was (rightly or wrongly, begrudgingly or not) a stroke of genius, and it has created a movement that will not go gentle into the good night.

If not Trump, then Don Trump Jr. If not Don, then Ivanka. If not a Trump, then Jared Kushner.

Post-war US politics has got a history of “power families”. The Kennedys, the Clintons, the Obamas. Next — the Trumps?

 

[Robert]

[MENTION=1842]James[/MENTION] - Ivanka strikes me as the smartest and best informed of that family.

 

[Stewie]

It won’t happen. Americans have disavowed dynastic politics and will not go for her simply because she runs on her father’s platform. The GOP won’t have it.

I don't think GOP will have to do much, Biden/Harris will pretty much destroy USA, ushering in a dynasty of MAGA.

 

[Varun]

Biden won't even remember his name by then, and Trump will still be a fireball of energy set to return!

This is the thing. Trump haters don't realise that ousting him has made him more powerful and dangerous.

Republicans have already admitted in public that the Republican party must change to win MAGA votes in future.

It's MAGA time!
