5 thoughts on “Trump seeks White House again amid GOP setbacks, legal probes

  1. Trump’s announcement was grim, lacking any energy or optimism (a la John F. Kennedy in 1960 or Ronald Reagan in 1980) for our country’s future. But such an outlook is beside the point, since his sole motive for returning to the White House is to use the shield of candidacy or incumbency against indictment and conviction for a multitude of illegal acts as president. But his goal will not be realized as “no man is above the law” and, even worse for him, Trump will not be elected to office again.

  2. Baloney, Brent, but to be expected from you.

    If Trump stays on message and focuses on the future, rather than the past, he will be a formidable contender. Most folks who listened to the speech were impressed with his focus.

    Of course, there will be the usual Associated Press bashing him and other hateful nonsense, but he has hopefully learned to let that roll off his back as has Ron Desantis. You discount Trump at your own peril, Brent.

    1. “If trump stays on message”

      Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, Bob.

      But if you want to talk about people foolish to discount Trump, let’s start with Mitch McConnell as he tries to keep his position of power in the Republican Party. He could have given Trump the kill shot, barred him from office in February 2021, and everyone would have moved on and Ron DeSantis would have a lot of momentum to run for president in 2024.

      Nope, Mitch decided to show Trump mercy. For his trouble, he watches Trump nominate a band of loons as candidates and 90% of them failed, costing Republicans what should have been easy House and Senate majorities, and he has to deal with Rick Scott trying to oust him. Now we all get to watch Trump vs. DeSantis and the Murdoch media empire, and if Trump’s shown anything, it’s that he would rather destroy everything than admit he’s lost. Trump’s running in 2024, even if he’s a third party candidate and even if all he accomplishes is making Biden president again.
