Trump privately plots his next act -- including a potential 2024 run

Trump would have the world falsely believe that he won the election and is preparing for a second term.

In private huddles and phone conversations, however, Trump has been discussing an entirely different next act: another presidential run in 2024.

In a nod to the reality that he is destined to leave office in January, the president is seriously contemplating life beyond the White House, telling advisers that he wants to remain an omnipresent force in politics and the media — perhaps by running for the White House again.

Trump has told confidants that he could announce a 2024 campaign before the end of this year, which would immediately set up a potential rematch with President-elect Joe Biden.

Not so certain he'll be alive still.

First of all, Twitter will shut down your account at 12:01 on 1/20/2021.

Second of all, Cy Vance has your phone number.

Third, ain't gonna be any more politics for you unless you are planning to run for recess monitor at Sing Sing.

He'll be desperate to grab the headlines away from Biden and probably will think this is his best chance.
I hope the media ignores him.

...but fizzle out later. Of course, blaming and whining about he isn't getting the donations he needs because the big pockets won't donate to him after he helped them, yakity yack yack schmack schmack.

He had a billion dollars for his re-election...and completely squandered it. Koch, Adelson, etc. aren't going to double down on a bad investment...Mercer's maybe, but they will be the few.
