Have Congress enact a law:
that requires any person running for president - by law - be required - to make his/her tax documents available and public. No exceptions.
This would be mandatory the moment they declare their intentions to run. Even in the Party Primary for the nomination.
That would keep the grifter out on the sidelines in 2024.

(1,773 posts)First, there are already established rules, and having a controlling party set new rules on candidates is a dangerous game that will backfire. Make no mistake about that.
But the primary question would be why try to stop him? It's a guaranteed loss for republicans.

I would hope we have learned something from recent history.

Make sure every Trump endorsed candidate loses. Every last one of them. The GOP might actually notice that.

No question that would keep Tr**p out of the 2024 race. I'm not convinced he will run anyway. He's terrified of losing - and losing TWICE would make him explode (not that that's a bad thing). He only wants to run for three reasons: 1) Feed his sick needy ego; 2) grift lots more $$; 3) try to keep himself out of prison
We shall see.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,365 posts)Noel Casler worked with Trumpy on The Apprentice and has said some pretty inflammatory things about him (surprise! He hasnt been sued! I wonder why!?! ) and he suggests that if he was actually going to run again, he would not have let go of the lease on the old US Post Office building that was the DC Trumpy Hotel.

I agree. He doesnt want to run again because he knows deep down he lost twice and he would get absolutely trounced a third time.
But he can keep teasing that bullshit and grift the living hell out of his gullible marks
errrr
followers for years yet.

Instead we will need to beat his fat ass--and we will.
I almost refer that TFG runs and is repudiated (again) as a "loser."
