We know he's not serious about 2024

... Trump’s recent actions .. show he is not seriously contemplating another .. run in 2024 ...

... While his cruelty still astounds, his temper tantrum also reveals the foolishness of Republicans who placated and defended him for four years. They enabled him throughout his presidency, prevented his removal in the impeachment trial, tried to subvert our election so he could remain in power and spent four years insisting that supporting him was the right thing to do for the sake of the “rule of law” and an economic boom (both of which he undermined). He is rendering Republicans who tied themselves in knots even more uncomfortable when they are pressed to answer, “Was it really worth it?” ...

If the plan here was to keep an iron grip on the Republican Party and clear the way for .. 2024 .. this .. is not going to deliver ... He is on the right track, however, if he intends to go to war with the Republican Party as a means of soliciting money and/or attention ... (Republicans abandoned me — send a check!)

... after corrupting the party, Trump would be the perfect means of destroying the GOP. In doing so, he might finally make a contribution to U.S. democracy.

7. Jared told Trump early on that they were going to "monetize" the base. And that is what they did.

Shell corporations and all.
Yes of course, all the money goes directly into their pockets.
