Trump, who tried to overturn a legitimate election, files to run for president again

Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, announced he is running again for president in 2024

"I am announcing my candidacy for president of the United States," Trump, 76, said flanked by massive American flags, at his Mar-a-Lago club and home in Palm Beach, Fla.

Trump claimed, "Your country is being destroyed before your eyes."

The announcement — and official filing — came just a week after the 2022 midterm elections, which saw a lackluster performance from Trump-backed Republican candidates in key Senate races and competitive House elections. As a result, Democrats were able to retain control of the Senate.

1. That's a lot of American flags for him to hump.

[niyad]

4. all made in china.

[doublethink]

2. Cool ...

Split that Fascist party to bits.

[Rebl2]

3. 🤮🤮🤮

[niyad]

5. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

[peppertree]

9. Hopefully, not without giving the Flawrida Smurf one of his own

[niyad]

10. That image still puzzles me.

[peppertree]

11. deSadist probably thought it made him look "empathetic"

Of course, he couldn't look empathetic if he showed up dressed as Gandhi (wither the thought).

[niyad]

12. No sane person wears white surveying a disaster area.

[peppertree]

13. Yeah. His PR people no doubt meant it as a practical joke

He must bully them non-stop - and they got back at him.

[GB_RN]

15. He'd Gotten Too Big...

For the rest of his stormtrooper armor.

[niyad]

19. you nearly owed me a keyboard.

[cstanleytech]

31. I'm betting a number of Republicans are hoping that he does.

[LeftInTX]

6. The rallies will be non stop

[joshdawg]

29. So will the free media coverage.

[cstanleytech]

32. Without Twitter supporting him that will be more difficult unless Musk decides to help Trump and

decides to let him come back.

[hibbing]

37. For sure

As long as the ratings are there, they will air every single one of his stupid rantings.

Peace

[BWdem4life]

7. "Your country is being destroyed before your eyes" - true.

Nobody can blather forever without occasionally speaking a truth, even if true for the wrong reasons.

[Justice matters.]

16. Projection again.

hair furhair started the destruction from within back in 2016 and even earlier during the nomination.

We saw it straight before our eyes, and hair furhair still destroys our country ever since!

[cstanleytech]

33. Actually the Republican plan to destroy American started a number of decades ago.

That is why the Contract with America thing they hyped was really the Contract on America.

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Jesus!

He had to ruin the country's holiday season because he's a selfish narcissistic bastard. I wish the justice dept would take him out of commission before he commits more crimes against the Country and the Constitution.

[aggiesal]

27. This is what they should do to Pendejo45 ...

14. Say what you will about the orange turd blossom, it took courage to announce he has gangrene.

I haven’t always agreed with him, but it took courage to stand up in front of all those people and announce he’s contracted gangrene of the penis from fucking dead goats. Respect.

Haven't seen it, nor do I plan on to. Anytime his voice comes over Youtube, I fast-forward through it, as I do for any republican shit-gobbin.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

17. It's time for

14th amendment, section 3

[LudwigPastorius]

23. Yup, the Constitution is very clear on this scenario.

[azureblue]

18. 2 reasons

1 - to grift more money
2 - to use running for office as a reason to avoid prosecution

Leading America is the furthest thing from his mind

But now the GOP really does have a bull in its china shop..

[Marthe48]

20. does the bag o'shit

think running will protect him from answering for his previous crimes? Just wondering.

[Pluvious]

21. When you've lost Matt Child-rapist Gaetz...

What scumstain is left ?!!

[Justice matters.]

22. Still sore loser hair furhair wants to lose again.

Bigly

Let's Go Fani Willis

[Bayard]

24. Thank goodness,

I fell asleep in front of the TV and missed hearing his nauseating voice.

He has no interest in serving this country. There are only 3 reasons for him to try this gimmick again:

--More grifting from his brainless minions
--Have media hanging on his every utterance again
--Try to avoid prosecution.

Finish kicking him to the curb.

[inwiththenew]

25. He's not going to win but he's still going to do a lot of damage

Like an arsonist.

[jmowreader]

26. In other words...

"Good evening. My name is Donald J. Trump. I ran for president twice already. In 2016 three million more people voted for the most hated woman in America than voted for me. In 2020 eight million more people voted for a man whose son stopped doing blow a few years ago and only ever did about a third as much as mine. A week ago a lot of the people I endorsed for Senate, House, Governor and Dogcatcher races lost, and lost big, in an election that should have been a walk in the park for the GOP. So, since my entire party is pissed off at me right now and I'd really like to know what it's like to get defeated by ninety-three million votes, plus my handlers in the Saudi Intelligence Ministry and the Russian FSB say I better start sending them new top secret documents quick or I'm gonna get whacked...here I am again! Send lots of money, my pretties! They can't throw me in jail where I belong if I'm a presidential candidate!"

(Phone rings...)

"Who is this? Bob Barr? You say they can? Fuck you, you loser, what do you know?"

[jmbar2]

28. Just tell him he already made America great, and now his job is done.

[forgotmylogin]

30. I want to know if the Republicans are gonna have a primary. n/t

[bdamomma]

34. That's alot of projection

HE wants to burn the US down, 2nd insurrection being planned again.

Why isn't he being arrested??? That bastard needs to be stopped in his tracks!!!!!!

[Mr. Ected]

35. Where have you gone, Merrick Garland? The nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Or have you turned your back on us?

The sounds of silence from the DOJ cast a hazy shade of winter.

[myohmy2]

36. "...who tried to overturn a legitimate election..."

...if at first you don't succeed, try try again...

...trump is very persistent and some Americans very ignorant...

...Sieg Heil...

[republianmushroom]

38. Of course he will.

How many presidential candidate have been indicted by the DoJ. Google show none.

22 Months and counting

[ificandream]

39. Daffy Trump hates losing. He should get ready to do it again.

[Wonder Why]

40. I hope he becomes the first presidential candidate to spend his campaign time

in the federal and/or state penitentiaries.
