Oh, ffs, will this never end? Lara Trump wants to run for the Senate in NC


?s=20


New: Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, is looking to run for the US Senate in North Carolina in 2022.

North Carolina is her home state.

I believe that Democrat Jeff Jackson , a well-liked NC State Senator will be running against her. I hope he does.

I think she might be positioning herself to run in 2028.

I hope she runs....afoul of the law in 2021.

Barron 2056

Have you seen the T-shirts?

Trump 2020-2024
Melania 2024-2032
Ivanka 2032-2040
Don Jr 2040-2048
Eric 2048-2056
Barron 2056-3000

Something like this was in one of the Daily Show videos. I think they had one of them only serving one term, and I might have embellished a bit on Barron.

How the heck will the foreign-born Melania legally be elected president?

However, the threat that Trumps might be president until 2064 (because there's always Tiffany, correct?) is enough to advocate sewing the entire clan, including Barron, into a canvas sack with three Tasmanian devils and a bobcat and dropping the sack in the ocean five miles off Cape Hatteras.

I guess they view her as the least-tarnished Trump. Where did the "excitement" for Don Jr. evaporate to?

Eric, her hubby, is under investigation for fraud.

Could it be a money-making scam for the Trumps? A run that never materializes, but that rakes in bucks from gullible Trumpers?

Lara figured out how nice it was to have that campaign fund so handy as a bank. She got used to the $15K/week salary for working Trump's campaign, but won't have that little ditty now. She's gotta find her own fund.

after January 20, but it seems they are determined to cling to whatever shred of power and limelight they can for as long as possible. I am hoping their crimes and misdemeanors will catch up with them quickly, before they can cause further harm.

Eric Trump Foundation. She is also just as glib and reflexive a liar as her husband or any of her in-laws.
