There are few here that would claim Trump does not have a LOCK ON 2024, should he decide to run. However, he will be four years older, and after he has a chance to unwind and return to life as normal, he might just decide it is not worth his time. I would not blame him.
And worse yet, the corrupt media will be ruthless. Now we all know he has nothing but scorn for these wankers, but one does get to a point where if you cannot line them up and deal with them as they well deserve, then who needs their bullsh*t. For their inappropriate behavior, many should have been tossed from the Press Corp long ago. The lack of integrity and professionalism is tiresome.
So, should Trump say no, then I like Noem for one more key reason, she is not a stinking lawyer. I have zero love for lawyers. Now, Desantis, I like him, but he is a Harvard lawyer, and I think Harvard is a school I would like to see slide in regard within America, for I believe it is grossly overrated.
