Trump WILL Announce 2024 Candidacy by the End of the Year--So Investigations Politically Motivated

.

Trump could attend Biden inauguration as a 2024 candidate after announcing run by end of year: report

President Donald Trump may announce a third presidential candidacy by the end of December, allowing him to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration as a candidate.

Reuters first reported that the president is considering making an announcement before Biden is even sworn in.

“A source familiar with internal discussions said Trump was telling allies he planned to run for president in 2024 and could announce it by the end of the year,” the report said.

Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney has also predicted that he will run again in 2024.

“I would absolutely expect the president to stay involved in politics and would absolutely put him on a shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024. He doesn’t like losing,” Mulvaney said.

Yeah, he doesn't like losing, but what he really doesn't want are criminal investigations.

He can scream that any investigation against him is politically motivated if he announces his candidacy.

change anything. Candidacy won’t shield him like the presidency did.

He could claim that the aliens helped cheat him out of his win. Of course the Trumpanzees will buy that, but once again, all that bloviating doesn't make it so. All he does is extend the time that it takes the GOP to rebuild into something palatable again.

If the GOP wants used cat litter like that for a candidate again, then they are more psychotic then they appear to be.

A LOT can happen in for years and the Orange Toddler has many items awaiting him on his plate.

He seems to think it protects him from legal issues. There should be a law created that establishes the earliest date one can file for a presidential run, like no more than 12 or16 months prior to an election.

Since he is limited to two terms, announcing his candidacy for 2024 amounts to a concession.
