Trump 2024 announcement "on pause" due to "legal problems" & "legal bills." NO! OMFG, NO!

[Miles Archer]

According to a report from the Washington Post, Donald Trump's plans to announce his run for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2024 has been put "on pause" due to his growing legal problems and equally expanding legal bills.

After a week in which the former president saw his bid to slow down a DOJ investigation into the theft of government documents with the appointment of a special master blow up in his face, and New York Attorney General Letitia James announce a plan to seek $250 million from the Trump family for real estates fraud, the Post is reporting that the former president is facing multiple obstacles to getting his incipient campaign off the ground.

"These and other setbacks for Trump come as at least a half-dozen additional legal efforts proceed against him and his allies — committing him to months of legal wrangling as he seeks to raise his political profile for a possible 2024 bid while also increasing the prospect of becoming the first former U.S. president to face indictment after leaving office," writes the paper.

One obstacle beyond Trump's control are plans by a group of Democratic lawyers to keep him off the ballot if he does announce due to his connection to the Jan 6 insurrection.

1. Well at least he will stay in the news.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. "Trump For Prison 2024".....that could happen. He can't pause that. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Is Anybody Making Those Signs?

I saw plenty of "Pelosi For Prison" signs a few years back, and the same for HRC. This was despite the fact there was zero evidence any crimes were committed & the opposite is true now.
Fighting fire with fire seems appropriate, because it's irrefutable that crimes have been committed by the Idiot King & his minions.

3. Interesting...the giant sucking sound...

I saw a clip this morning flash by from his Hannity interview (I believe) where he stated he would love for Joe to be successful!

He doesn't care - Dem, Republican - out of his great love for America, he just wants them to succeed....

SMDH!!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

4. And, fucking Fascist Desantis

has "Legal Problems" too!

[DJ Porkchop]

5. He's gonna use that Save America PAC money to pay Tish

...and catch another case.

[Brother Buzz]

9. Trump super PAC raised just $40 in August

That well done dried up.

"I decided I already won!"

[bluestarone]

8. Looks to me like he's going for

BIG DONATIONS time again! He will SUCK the money out of his CULT!!

[dembotoz]

13. i can almost see the email now

only you can help us keep americas flame alive.
the commie dems are coming for your guns, trucks and beer.



aw damn i could write this but it would be too damn offensive and get me in trouble....

[bluestarone]

24. yea we ALL know what these cult people are all about

I cannot even begin to understand how their minds work. ( i know i'm giving them too much credit on the brain comment) It's so draining just watching them getting away with everything.

[dalton99a]

10. He is building up the anticipation and excitement

[Blue Owl]

11. Man. Woman. Prison. Camera. TV.

[OrangeJoe]

12. Not running in 2024

Neither President Biden nor Donnie are running in 2024. Biden will announce this some time early in 2023. Trump will never say anything because he wants to keep the grift going, but he'll either be in court, jail or the fairway of his golf club.

[jerseyjim]

15. YES! YES! n/t

[maxsolomon]

17. BURN THE WITCH

He has no desire to actually do the job; he just wants the adulation.

[Martin68]

18. Sounds like another fraudulent fund-raising stunt to me.

[SheltieLover]

20. Pathetically begging his minimum wage base to send $!

[Wednesdays]

21. Your headline! ROFL!

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

23. 👍🏼👍🏼

[Heather MC]

25. Hello Reality, You're doing great! Keep working on him

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[in2herbs]

26. I thought I read a report a while back where the RNC said they would stop paying his

legal bills if he announced his intention to run for pres. Given the events of the past few days and what his legal costs are going to be and how we all know he doesn't want to pay these costs, this is a more likely reason for putting his announcement on "pause."

[ShazzieB]

27. Pause, my ass! 🤣

Unless "pause" means something different than I think it does, calling this a "pause" is...cute.

"Dead in the water" would be more accurate.

[czarjak]

28. Nothing beats his Republican worthiness though!

[keithbvadu2]

30. At first glance, it looked like 'worthlessness'.

At first glance, it looked like 'worthlessness'.

At longer second glance, same/same.

[czarjak]

38. Totally interchangeable. The R's have it.

[WarGamer]

29. DeSantis just giggled.

[Riverman100]

31. now we need

to charge desantis with kidnapping etc. Get him out of the picture

[Joinfortmill]

35. Yup, indict the f*cker

[MissMillie]

33. I think it's time he used a line from one of his predecessors

"To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home."

You know... the whole, idea that it'd be best for the country to let go of his political ambitions. He's got enough on his plate.



Don't imagine that will happen. He's never done anything that didn't involve self-interest.

(And yes, I'm aware he's not President)

[Joinfortmill]

34. From what I understand it's the only way he can continue the grift of his followers.

[FakeNoose]

36. Awww ... that's a shame

[gldstwmn]

37. He'll announce. He doesn't have it in him not to.
