Outside Mar-a-Lago a large crowd of Trump supporters is forming. People are waving Trump flags and holding signs.

In reality I think anyone running in '24 will have the election rigged against them; but especially Trump.
I'm also wondering about the court cases against him. I read where he avoided showing up in court after he was subpoenaed. So how are all the cases going to play out?? I still think the leftists are going to find a way to prevent him from running and then what? Riots??

Notice we haven’t heard a peep in several weeks now from the corporate media about the Mar-a-Lago raid and stolen top secret documents. I think they dropped the stories because no one was buying the narrative, and the more we looked the worse DOJ/FBI looked.
Once you accept that the news we get these days is slanted or buried to either enhance or protect democrat deep state interests, things become clearer.

Things were improving nicely under the Trump administration. I expect his second administration will be even better.
A lot of politicians make promises when they run. Then they get into office and disappoint. Trump has a history that we can point to. He did what he said he would do. That’s enough to get my vote for the third time!

Trump got his mojo back 2nite. I was apprehensive he'd announce while GA Senate race in play, but he urged ppl to go vote for @HerschelWalker & Trump speech was pitch perfect--he focused on the American ppl and the future, not the past.

I still think there needs to be an honest understanding of Trump's fiscal record......
Okay, here are the numbers adjusted for inflation in what I have calculated with a 1981 Reagan CPI Benchmark Year....
1. Trump- $1.707T/yr. ($567 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
2. Obama- $1.039T/yr ($372 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
3. GWB- $763 B/yr. ($314 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
4. GWHB- $388 B/yr.($237 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
5. Reagan- $232 B/yr. ($166 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
6. WJC- $174 B/yr. ($86 B/yr. Inflation adjusted)
As you can see, and is what is interesting, is even with inflation adjustment the rankings have not changed, only less pronounced.
The deficit (even inflation adjusted) rose more under Trump's administration than any other since and including Reagan.
And to the detractors who previously stated that Trump had to deal with Crisis. All of the above minus Clinton had the same....
Reagan- Digging us out of the Carter disaster
GHWB- Gulf War
Clinton- Exception... No major crisis
GWB- War on Terror, and those unnecessary costs
Obama- Great Recession and worst economic conditions since the '30's

@art.prout @aligncare
I thought Trump's speech was excellent and on-point. I felt relief that he officially announced his promise to once again lead our country to its rightful place at home and around the world. I also felt hopeful for the first time in two years. Trump asked for my support: he's got it ---- He asked for my prayers: they wiil be unceasing ---- And he asked for my vote: take it to the bank.
There will be a coodinated and frenzied opposition from within the media, from every globalist and socialist, the establishment GOP, every wannabe, back-bencher, ankle-biter, and hater. So to anyone who supports Donald Trump, my unsolicited advice is: Buckle up! 888high58888

It will be easy enough to listen to what Trump says, but it's what he says that will ultimately sway the Republican party. (Yes, avoiding pundits and interpretations will help filter out the nonsense.) He will never be subtle and will chew on grievances to the bitter end. Trump will be nominated or go down in a blaze of furiousness. If he gets the nomination, I don't see how he looses.

Trump Shocks the World—by Nearly Putting Us to Sleep
By Bob Hoge | 12:45 AM on November 16, 2022
For all those tuning into Donald Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy Tuesday night expecting to see a rip-roaring, fired-up Trump tearing into Joe Biden, trashing the fake news, and just generally riling up the crowd, you were disappointed. Trump was unusually calm, almost somber even, and spoke mostly in a slightly-hoarse monotone. While he certainly delivered some of his red meat lines, he rarely went into his trademark ranting mode and stayed away from hot topics like the 2020 election, Crooked Hillary, and January 6. The words “Russia collusion” never came out of his mouth.

Okay, I get that. But we’ve been struggling with out of control debt and deficits my whole life. Government spending, albeit an important issue, is a distraction at this time. It’s vital that we focus on the big picture.
America is reaching a tipping point in politics that could threaten the very foundation of our constitutional freedoms and ruin irreparably America’s economic engine.
We need effective America First leadership now and Trump is the one person uniquely positioned to push back against the left. The agenda he outlined last night is exactly what we need, especially regarding elections. I hope everyone keeps that in mind.

@aligncare there have been several times where Trump has said something and then backpedaled and there are times where has hasn't done what he says he's going to do. Sure we can blame the DEMS but sometimes he runs his mouth when he shouldn't. Sorry, but that just being realistic.
Understand that I think Trump made a great president and he had this country headed in a positive direction. I get that.
He carries with him a lot of baggage and also has court cases that are still pending; those cases in themselves could be a hindrance to him running or being indicted. Then what??
His message remains clear and IMHO he needs to pass on the baton so to speak. I believe DeSantis is quite capable and his proven over and over again his ability to push back. Other possible candidates; Noem, Pompeo, Cruz, Youngkin and Paul. All would make good viable candidates.
Unless Trump, the GOP and the RNC can put systems in place to ensure election integrity, the DEMS will steal another election anyways. So before we get all giddy and excited about '24 something has to be done to ensure election integrity, there is no room to continue to kick this issue down the road.
Secondly, if he continues to berate good conservatives, he will fracture the party and inevitably hand the DEMS the WH in '24.
I have supported Trump for the most part throughout his presidency, but IMHO it's time he step aside. The MAGA movement is still thriving and I believe in order for it to continue he needs to select someone to carry on his legacy and back them.
-
I should say, I don't see how Trump looses in 2024 against Biden. And some governors mentioned as candidates to run for the Dem nomination are more left than left....

His message remains clear and IMHO he needs to pass on the baton so to speak. I believe DeSantis is quite capable and his proven over and over again his ability to push back. Other possible candidates; Noem, Pompeo, Cruz, Youngkin and Paul. All would make good viable candidates.
Unless Trump, the GOP and the RNC can put systems in place to ensure election integrity, the DEMS will steal another election anyways. So before we get all giddy and excited about '24 something has to be done to ensure election integrity, there is no room to continue to kick this issue down the road.
Secondly, if he continues to berate good conservatives, he will fracture the party and inevitably hand the DEMS the WH in '24.
I have supported Trump for the most part throughout his presidency, but IMHO it's time he step aside. The MAGA movement is still thriving and I believe in order for it to continue he needs to select someone to carry on his legacy and back them.
Very well put!!

Yes, in one of the most brazen stealing of an election in American history.
And it also happened during the mid terms. What has changed? The RNC, nor the GOP did anything. Certain states implemented some laws to protect the integrity of elections but for the most part, everyone sat around and did nothing.

There is no one that can replace Trump. Trump birthed the modern MAGA movement. It will die without Trump at the helm. I still consider Trump to be a non politician. Every one else that could potentially run are all politicians. Most politicians can’t be trusted with America’s future.

The GOP embodies the electoral concept of bringing a knife to a gun fight. This is going to go on in infinitum until some drastic measures are taken.

Okay, I get that. But we’ve been struggling with out of control debt and deficits my whole life. Government spending, albeit an important issue, is a distraction at this time. It’s vital that we focus on the big picture.
The money IS the big picture. They cannot drive us into the ground without destroying the dollar. They cannot control us and impose their will, shoving it down our throats without their overweening federal government which necessarily costs money.
Take away their money and the government HAS TO shrink. and as it shrinks it's power fades. Liberalism cannot exist in a proper federalist America.
It is NOT a distraction. There is no bigger picture. It is literally the ONLY issue, because the minute their money is gone, their power is gone.
This is no different than any other pseudo-conservative movement.
ALWAYS excusing big government... Throwing fiscal conservatism and libertarianism under the bus. AGAIN.
When the only fix IS fiscal conservatism and libertarian in nature.
America is reaching a tipping point in politics that could threaten the very foundation of our constitutional freedoms and ruin irreparably America’s economic engine.
And when you're done GROWING the government AGAIN SOMMORE, and the Democrats come to power again, That big 'beautiful' government you continued to build will be all the bigger and all the stronger for the Democrats to use.
This ain't rocket science. Half of winning at pool is leaving the cue ball in a difficult place for your opponent. Continuing big government is not doing that, and then everyone is surprised when the Dems get a shot and run the table. *SMH*
We need effective America First leadership now and Trump is the one person uniquely positioned to push back against the left. The agenda he outlined last night is exactly what we need, especially regarding elections. I hope everyone keeps that in mind.
Total bullcrap. Tumpy IS the left.

I disagree. Yes, Trump created the MAGA, but are you stating that the passion that his base has will die without him? He was their voice, not the other way around. Leadership is key, I agree but I believe that another leader without his baggage is going to be crucial in winning in '24. Yes, continue the MAGA agenda absolutely, just someone else needs to lead.
-
I think that the MAGA agenda is somewhat engrained into the Republican party at this point. Because of this, it will survive Trump. If he had formed a third party ala Teddy Roosevelt's Progressives (aka Bull Moose) party, the agenda would die with Trump as it did with TR. But it's now part of the second major party in the U.S. so I don't think that the faithful will let it die on the vine when Trump is long gone. His persona has enflamed too much of population that's found its voice.

I don't think this is true quite yet @BellyAche ---- not with McConnell/Ryan/Bush still running the show. This is why one of the imperatives for 2024 is to reject any candidate rooted in the legacy GOP -- or the MAGA agenda goes the way of the Tea Party.

Interesting! Many in the conservative media including WSJ ARE dumping on Trump now. And this would be fuel to a successful run. But Trump is so polarizing within the conservative movement that I think he needs to use some level of moderation? (If he can find that "mojo."). Perhaps that's why he sounded so muted during his announcement. In other words, Trump may have to be less "Trumpist" this time around. We'll see...

THE ORGY OF ANTI-TRUMP ATTACKS FROM GLOBALISTS SHOULD BE ALL THE IMPETUS YOU NEED TO RE-BOARD THE TRUMP TRAIN.
The National Post, Nov 16, 2022, RAHEEM J. KASSAM
(https://thenationalpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/RQPKU5EN2NO3NHBKGLUOVVL2LI-scaled.jpg)
PALM BEACH, Florida – With no sense of introspection, nor irony, the National Review has again made its feeble case against Donald Trump, for the 400th time in a row, all the while alleging that it is the 45th President of the United States, rather than National Review, that sounds like a broken record.
For their dwindling readership, the Review proffers clapped out arguments about the importance of the norms of Washington, D.C., the meanness of Trump’s tweets, and the already debunked notion that Trump himself was secretly the campaign manager for every mid term elections and should therefore be blamed for the lack of a “red wave”.
Of course, the National Review doesn’t care about the flimsiness of its own arguments. No one who publishes such dross could. Instead, their editorial, simply entitled “No.” is a cynical attempt to get name checked on television, mostly by CNN, with a view to propping up the left’s arguments against Trump. Which tells you more than their editorial does.
[...]
There is now – already – a massive, new, and dirty campaign against Trump. From people who grifted off him, like Ed Rollins and Mike Pence, to people he has brought immense amounts of wealth to, like Rupert Murdoch and Jeff Bezos. That these forces are singing from the Never Trump hymn sheet, in unison, should serve as enough of a warning to ordinary conservatives and independents. They are not your friends. They do not have your best interests at heart.
But more interesting is the hurried response from Team Biden, and his fluffers at The Lincoln Project. They are already deploying major advertising resources into attacking Trump on television and social media. Which tells you everything you need to know. They are not this afraid – in fact they are not afraid at all – of Mike Pompeo, or Nikki Haley, or whoever else inevitably throws their hat into the ring during the upcoming primary season.
No, they’re exclusively this afraid of Donald J. Trump. And for that reason, from The National Pulse, it has to be a resounding, “Yes.”

Fair warning; Trump knows the difference between a SOTU style address and a rally ---- so keep that buckle close by. :laugh:

I still think there needs to be an honest understanding of Trump's fiscal record......
Okay, here are the numbers adjusted for inflation in what I have calculated with a 1981 Reagan CPI Benchmark Year....
1. Trump- $1.707T/yr. ($567 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
2. Obama- $1.039T/yr ($372 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
3. GWB- $763 B/yr. ($314 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
4. GWHB- $388 B/yr.($237 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
5. Reagan- $232 B/yr. ($166 B/yr. inflation adjusted)
6. WJC- $174 B/yr. ($86 B/yr. Inflation adjusted)
As you can see, and is what is interesting, is even with inflation adjustment the rankings have not changed, only less pronounced.
The deficit (even inflation adjusted) rose more under Trump's administration than any other since and including Reagan.
And to the detractors who previously stated that Trump had to deal with Crisis. All of the above minus Clinton had the same....
Reagan- Digging us out of the Carter disaster
GHWB- Gulf War
Clinton- Exception... No major crisis
GWB- War on Terror, and those unnecessary costs
Obama- Great Recession and worst economic conditions since the '30's
Let’s be honest. Republicans and Democrats are both the same when it comes to fiscal stupidity. Both constantly spend more and more of tax payers money, the difference is just where the money is spent.
What they don’t realise is most of the world is going green in the next 50 years (rightly or wrongly), if it does happen, why would the world see the American dollar as the currency of choice? Once the dollar isn’t, America is f**** financially
The dollar is America’s strongest weapon.

If you want to be honest about the deficit, rather than looking at Presidential terms look at Congressional terms. Break it down in two year increments, and which party is in charge of both houses of Congress during those two years, and I bet you would see a different story.

Been hearing this, literally since I was born (I am 46). I don't think it will happen, baring some huge change on the world stage. Would require a massive change in thinking. Why? Because every other country that is in any way substantial in size is way, way worse than us in this reqard. China spends like there's no tomorrow, with little regard for fiscal sanity. And this green new deal crap has been exported around the world. Every country now wants some new high speed rail googaw for the world media pretty to crow about. Deficit spending is the new old norm.
I'm not saying this is necessarily a wise choice (it isn't) but the status quo will probably continue into yours, mine, and our children's lifetimes. As long as the US doesn't get worse than other countries. As long as other countries are building stupid things like "line cities" (Saudi arabia), high speed rail, green nonsense, I don't see why it would change.
No world leader wants to be the one with a thumb up their ass while China/US/UAE(Dubai) are building shiny new trains to nowhere. Or bases on Mars. Et cetera.

Since it's been mentioned. Here's the skinny....
From the National Review online:
Everybody already knows what they think of him. Very few Americans seem inclined to change their minds about Trump. His agenda is the same as before: Build the wall. Root out the “deep state.” He’s a victim. “Make America great and glorious again.” It is that same old narcissistic view of the world through a fisheye lens, where all good things come from him and his self-described “very stable genius,” and all bad things are somebody else’s fault. On Election Night last week, Trump summed up his worldview succinctly: “If they win, I should get all the credit, and if they lose, I should not be blamed at all.”
The editors of NR, as a whole, declared, “The answer to Trump’s invitation to remain personally and politically beholden to him and his cracked obsessions for at least another two years, with all the chaos that entails and the very real possibility of another highly consequential defeat, should be a firm, unmistakable, No.”

I absolutely agree.

So Trump should just sit down and shut up, because the things he says upsets the other political party, forcing them (boo hoo reluctantly) to rabble rouse and agitate the lowest common denominator of their constituent base into protests and violence against republican voters and innocent bystanders who happen to be in their way. Maxine calls it “get in their face” while they’re dining out with family.
I see. An amusing but ludicrous hypothesis—considering the essence of politics is debate. But, it seems our democrat and RINO friends prefer intimidation, to discussion of merits and solutions to issues.

No one is telling or expecting Trump to sit down and shut up. You bring up intimidation; sure he can intimidate the DEMS and RINO's (and that includes Pence) by all means. But he needs to treat conservative politicians in an adult manner (should they challenge him) and not fight them like a bully in a school yard. Alienating a portion of the GOP base like he did with Cruz is likely this time to hand the election over to the DEMS. Primary concern again, is election integrity!!
Another concern right now is all of Trump's court dates and lawsuits he has going against him. Do you think that the leftists are just going to allow him go on to become the nominee??

Far as I am concerened financial stewardship of POTUS is basically "on my watch" situation. Yes, congress spends, but a financially concerned and driven president would add his practical direction to the matter.
Want proof? Look at the second best performer of the 6----- Ronald Reagan. Arguably, he had to dig us out of the biggest hole of all after Carter's disasterous presidency. I mean we are talking 15% interest rates and inflation, while rebuilding the military.

Funny how you don't want to talk about the best performer on your list, Bill Clinton. Of course Clinton had no interest in controlling the budget, but with Republicans controlling both houses of Congress for 6 of the 8 years of his Presidency, he really had no choice.
True, if Reagan had the advantage of the Republicans controlling both houses during his Presidency instead of just one (the Senate, occasionally) he would have done better than Clinton. But the clear lesson is that controlling Congress (especially the House) is much more important for controlling spending. That is, if the Republicans in charge of Congress actually want to control spending... which they haven't been too interested in lately.

Clinton basically had a crisis free presidency. Plus Gingrich basically hogtied Clinton into submission.... especially in a time long ago, when deficit spending meant more to the electorate

You are correct in the matter that there are basically no fiscal hawks left inour government. Which will be our undoing end the end..... Like with people, you can not sustain on a limitless credit card, or what constitutes a blank check.

It does seem like Trump needs sycophants surrounding him. But he needs honest sometimes brutal advise, someone to tell him "don't be a jacka**!" But then that person would have his head given to him on a silver platter. Perhaps daughter Ivanka had some sway, but apparently she's done with politics. Her hubby might still be in the fray, but I think he's afraid of his father-in-law and he seems as fake as a three dollar bill to me. Soap opera stuff!!! :2popcorn:
-
It will be easy enough to listen to what Trump says, but it's what he says that will ultimately sway the Republican party. (Yes, avoiding pundits and interpretations will help filter out the nonsense.) He will never be subtle and will chew on grievances to the bitter end. Trump will be nominated or go down in a blaze of furiousness. If he gets the nomination, I don't see how he looses. Unless something blows up in his face or the ballots in donkey pouches don't reach their destinations!!!
Shhhhh.....don't tell anyone, but there are now more of them than there are of us. Game over....

Trump Shocks the World—by Nearly Putting Us to Sleep
By Bob Hoge | 12:45 AM on November 16, 2022
For all those tuning into Donald Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy Tuesday night expecting to see a rip-roaring, fired-up Trump tearing into Joe Biden, trashing the fake news, and just generally riling up the crowd, you were disappointed. Trump was unusually calm, almost somber even, and spoke mostly in a slightly-hoarse monotone. While he certainly delivered some of his red meat lines, he rarely went into his trademark ranting mode and stayed away from hot topics like the 2020 election, Crooked Hillary, and January 6. The words “Russia collusion” never came out of his mouth.

Well, if he is doing it to put those off, then, good! A good tactician should outmaneuver them, because a fearful swamp is working feverishly to derail Trump using any means necessary. Yeah, that’s right. They’re afraid of what will happen to them when Trump is “re”elected.

In reality I think anyone running in '24 will have the election rigged against them; but especially Trump.
I'm also wondering about the court cases against him. I read where he avoided showing up in court after he was subpoenaed. So how are all the cases going to play out?? I still think the leftists are going to find a way to prevent him from running and then what? Riots??
They'll make a series out of it.

Oh yeah right, how long will that last?
It took me about a microsecond to conclude that he will only live up to that as long as he is leading.
If things get tough, you can bet he'll drop the facade and go after them.

@art.prout @aligncare
I thought Trump's speech was excellent and on-point. I felt relief that he officially announced his promise to once again lead our country to its rightful place at home and around the world. I also felt hopeful for the first time in two years. Trump asked for my support: he's got it ---- He asked for my prayers: they wiil be unceasing ---- And he asked for my vote: take it to the bank.
There will be a coodinated and frenzied opposition from within the media, from every globalist and socialist, the establishment GOP, every wannabe, back-bencher, ankle-biter, and hater. So to anyone who supports Donald Trump, my unsolicited advice is: Buckle up! 888high58888
