Trump Vows a Comeback

Trump Vows a Comeback

"SNIP......

Former President Trump thanked his defense team and supporters in the Senate who voted to acquit him on Saturday, and promised that his “movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun,” Axios reports.

“Trump’s comments came in a statement issued moments after his second acquittal. He had closely watched the trial from Mar-a-Lago with his former social media director, Dan Scavino, and other advisers, and even directed his legal team ahead of their closing arguments on Friday.”

......SNIP"

If 60 million voters buy 1 MAGA hat at $45 that makes a profit of 2.4 billion. I know. I sold logo hats brought in from china at a college gear shop for $5. Trump bulk rates would be way less than $5 for the hats.

to make voting MORE difficult.

Oh and the new census will give the GOP around 8 more Electoral Votes.

They have the State Houses and they have SCOTUS.

Like I said before... '24 will be a referendum on the Biden/Harris Presidency. Good Governance will lead them to the win.

If things go off the rails over the next 4 years... who knows?

Once he announces his new super-pac he'll be rolling in money.

He's not going away.

He MUST be defeated with Good Governance.

Joe has the opportunity and time to show Americans how PROGRESSIVE Governance is better than the alternative.

If he announces then the money is subject to campaign finance laws..won’t be able to funnel it into his shell companies or pacs.

Hopefully he will be shredded by the criminal charges that are coming his way and in no position to run

He'll do rallies and work on his revenge list for '2022.

If the GOP does well and the Trump led "resistance" takes back the House/Senate and watch out, he's running in '24.

If the GOP fails in 2022... Trump disappears and pushes the best ring-kisser of the bunch

Even if both fell to the gqp the money is not there.

His base, who knows in 4 years if they will still be engaged..that’s a very long time, but that will not be enough money for him to run

The really big donors are gone! The koch’s and the mercers didn’t support him this time, they are done! The corporations are done with him. Sheldon adelson is dead
He totally fleeced the rnc, they refused donnie jr when he said he was going to take overmthe rnc...wise move on their part

To many holes that can’t be plugged..popularly is down 20 pts since December...he won’t recover from that

Ending with a Trial, that's had a change of venue to Burning Cross County... with a Defense that insists on 6 Trumpists on each Jury.

I can't stand all this talk of beating Trump by any means OTHER than just beating his philosophy. It makes us look scared.

I want the Biden/Harris Presidency to be so good... Trump could never win in 2024.

Obese people are at heightened risk of heart attack and stroke also cancer.
At his age the risks are higher.

Want to beat him AGAIN in '24?

Good Governance.

Display for the American people how both parties ARE NOT the same. Fix things.
Get a vaccination in every arm by June.
Massive stimulus, UI benefits through end of '21.
And MOSTLY, work on Wealth Equity.
Let's follow the recommendations of the UK Wealth Tax Commission and lay down a 5% one-time Wealth Tax for ALL wealth over 500k (GBP, so in the US, make it anything over 800k)
Avoid foreign entanglements, bring the troops home.
Stacey Abrams-ize all elections.
Hold killer cops accountable.

But make no mistake... if things go off the rails, Trump can win in '24.

without anyone nagging him to actually work. He'll concentrate on grifting and eventually forget about his "movement." He'll mentally and physically be in no condition to do anything else.

It will be interesting to see what his followers do. They always whine about being forgotten and not getting enough attention. Trump won't give them any attention.
