‘Get Ready,’ Trump Tells Iowa Crowd as He Prepares to Announce White House Run

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Former President Donald J. Trump is expected to announce a third White House campaign soon after the midterms, possibly as soon as Nov. 14, according to people familiar with the planning.

The potential announcement date was first reported by Axios.

On Thursday night, Mr. Trump opened a swing of four rallies in the final five days of the midterm elections in Iowa, where he was joined by Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican seeking an eighth consecutive six-year term.

His Iowa stop highlighted both the power and the limitations of his political brand as he inches closer to announcing a third presidential campaign.

1. Ah right, his term... Where everything was someone else's fault and "leakers" were everywhere

He wants a return to that?

[PatSeg]

6. The wolves are at the door

Maybe he thinks if he becomes a presidential candidate all the lawsuits will magically disappear.

Or maybe he looking for more grifting opportunities from his loyal base.

“Get ready — that’s all I’m telling you,” Mr. Trump said. “Very soon.”

“Very, very, very, probably.”

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. Gross.

[jcgoldie]

3. I thought he never lost

Been shadow presidenting the whole time from Florida now isn't he term limited?

[PatSeg]

7. Ha, ha, ha!

[FSogol]

4. That's translates as "get your credit cards and checkbooks ready" Grifters gotta Grift!

[PatSeg]

8. That was my first reaction

After all, his bills aren't going to pay themselves.

[2naSalit]

16. Indeed...

All his other grifts have been exposed or stopped so he has the campaign card to play for fund-raising. It's all he has left for demanding donations and think he's getting away with it. I hope it doesn't work out for him.

[LuckyCharms]

5. Then, he said "pull my finger".

[FalloutShelter]

15. or bend over...

[Meadowoak]

9. Trump and Gassley have 165 years combined experience at fucking over America

USA. USA. USA

[Emile]

10. This will give assurance to getting out the democratic vote. I

would prefer Garland put the SOB in prison!

[hibbing]

11. Great, so every minute of every stupid speech will be on the cable again n/t

[PatSeg]

14. God, what a depressing thought

I look forward to the day when the sound of his truly awful voice is a very vague, distant memory.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. It will be posted here whether it's on televised or not.

People seem to hang on his every word and movement here.

I’ll never understand it.

[Girard442]

12. Expect Garland to do nothing before Trump announces and then...

...state that, since Trump is a declared candidate, DOJ will need a Special Procrastinator...errr...prosecutor.

[PatSeg]

13. I think that may be what Trump is hoping

but I don't think Trump will escape justice that easily this time. There are too many lawsuits in the works.

[Midnight Writer]

17. I would love to see a Special Counsel appointed.

I think it is long overdue.

[Genki Hikari]

18. More "two weeks" nonsense from the grifting traitor scum.

nt

[lees1975]

19. Why not announce before the mid-terms?

Unless you're scared spitless it would motivate even more Democratic vote turnout.

[PatSeg]

22. I think he wants to raise more money first,

money that won't be subject to FEC rules. If this doesn't raise enough money, he may delay the announcement a bit longer while holding more rallies.

[tblue37]

20. "Will be wild."

[Takket]

21. Hahaha I KNEW IT!!!

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=17316847

[PatSeg]

23. That probably is what he is hoping,

though I think he'll be disappointed. There are an awful lot of investigations against him going on. I don't think all the time and effort is going to be shelved because he claims to be running for president. I think the walls are closing in on him and he is getting desperate.

25. THIRD Presidential campaign??

I dunno, I've lost something there. Let's see, 2016, first term; out of office at end of 2020. 2022, Midterm campaigning, but this is not yet the Presidential campaign. He campaigned one time in 2015. His second campaign will commence shortly. Third campaign?

You can't be a President a third time. ( If you could, Obama would be my choice.) So, what am I missing here? I guess you can campaign as many times as you want. But, you can only be President twice.

What is the advantage of saying that this would be the third campaign? This is not the first time I have seen people saying this is his third time. Can you think of anything that makes this a strategy for Trump? Did he campaign against Obama, and I missed it?? Is this a birther thing? He wasn't a candidate then, was he? I'm mixed up here.

[PatSeg]

26. This would be his third run for the office

2016, 2020, and 2024 if he really does declare he's running. I'm still not sure.

[EndlessWire]

27. Wut???

I'm clearly lost here. I thought we were doing Midterms. Well, I'm not voting for any Republican, so it doesn't matter.

Vote. them. all. out. of. office. That's my advice. A vote against a Republican is a vote against fascism.

Edit: Oh, this about the 2020 election that he lost. So, we're talking 2015, 2020, and now 2024? Thank you for helping me out.

[PatSeg]

30. Yes, three presidential campaigns

if he really runs again. Of course, Trump would like to make every election about him!

[Grown2Hate]

29. So... about 2 weeks? Like the infrastructure plan? And a GOP Healthcare plan?

Two weeks... "very very very probably". LoL This fucking guy and his "two weeks"...

[PatSeg]

31. Ha, ha, that is so true

He is so predictable - "We'll see what happens."

The "very, very, very probably" cracked me up. He talks like a 4th grader.
