How To Make Sure That Tr**p Does Not Run Again For Prez In 2024.....

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. But why?

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.

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

But doubt it could get past Moscow Mitch.

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.

DeathSantis will, and he is much worse than Dump, he has a few brains and will be much more deadly
He is the dangerous one we have to worry about

The court makeup is not that different from then and it doesn't matter if it is a federal or state law.

Congress cannot by law add eligibility requirements beyond what is listed in the Constitution, that presidents must be 35, natural born citizens ect.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.


Nothing about requiring tax returns.

Noel Casler worked with Trumpy on “The Apprentice” and has said some pretty inflammatory things about him (surprise! He hasn’t 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 doesn’t 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.

End of story.

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."
