Can someone please explain 2024??

Why? Why run? He just lost, he was just given the boot by the American people, who thought he did a piss poor job.
He fucked up, fucked everything up. Why in the hell does he think anyone wants him back? Honestly I'd die of shame, begging for money, refusing to act like an adult.

That way, he can keep fundraising and grifting the money. It keeps him in the press and keep his hold on his cult followers. No one said he will last till 2024 or win the nomination.

He can raise money, draw media attention, hold rallies...all to feed his ego. And 4 years from now he can claim another round of victimization from billions of fake voters in PA.

It's all one big grift. Personally, I hope he is dead by then, or if not at least in prison or a nursing home. This guy is not long for this world. It will all catch up with him very soon.

People shouldn't underestimate the number of people who have been waiting all their lives for a Trump to come along. A candidate who just doesn't give a shit and hates all the people they hate. If Biden doesn't tick every single box the American electorate wants/needs him to check in the next 4 years, look out.

It is imperative that the GOTV campaigns do not let up, and the need to engage the young people, millions of whom will turn 18 every single year, into taking part in elections.

Our side of the political spectrum thought we took major strides forward when we elected Mr. Obama twice.

To be sure, we did, but the other side is not going to go down without a fight.

I have said this before, but conservative political ideology can not win on a national scale unless they cheat, and they are VERY good at cheating.

Underestimate his chances of launching an effective campaign in 2024 at your own peril.

He won't admit he was beaten, so in defiance of that he needs to prove he was cheated by winning in 2024.

Not so coincidentally, it also provides a cash cow of money from suckers. One's the primary motivation, but since the second is there... no contest.

So now he is going to run again to prove to all you libtards that he is the greatest most popular President in the history of the world.

Yes it is completely stupid but that is how simplistic Trump's pea sized brain is.

A rerun of 2020 but with the incumbent advantage sounds pretty good to me.

so they get out and vote. After 2022 I don't think they will give a damn about him. My question is how does he avoid jail during that time.

And he's going to need the money-- huge loans coming due, he probably owes that $100 million back to the IRS. Grifters gotta grift.

things like homeless advocacy, anti racism, women and LGBTQ rights. I knew that trumpism would still be around, but I thought it would cool down enough to get back to other issues.

Looks like I was wrong. Going to have to do some time management.

The supposed billionaire can continue to solicit donations from idiots who are living paycheck to paycheck and rent property he owns to his own campaign, along with many other grifts It makes me think of wealthy televangelists who convince people who are living on social security to give them money.
