Trump 2024

Donald Trump’s speech at CPAC will no doubt allude to his running for President in 2024.  He has two reasons for doing this.  The first is to satisfy his ego for keeping the Trump name in the headlines and to maintain the power he perceives he has over the Republican Party.  But, that is a minor reason for his 2024 Presidential bid.  The second and the primary reason he will announce candidacy is spelled out by Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s extremely short-term communications director and former friend.  Scaramucci speculated Saturday that Trump will run for president again in part to fleece the “rubes.”  “I think he’s going to run in 2024 because this is the most money that he’s ever made,” Scaramucci said. “Just imagine making $300 million off of these rubes that he’s conning after the election with his big lie” that the vote was rigged, Scaramucci added. “So he’ll run again in 2024.”  Trump pulled in at least $255 million in political donations ostensibly to battle the results of the presidential vote in the eight weeks following the 2020 election, according to the latest federal filings.  Will Trump “go to the finish line? Maybe not,” Scaramucci said. “There are 10 or 12 Republicans that see themselves as a future president. They’re going to try to find ways to undermine him. ... So I don’t know if he gets to the finish line. But why would he not run and raise money off the rubes that he’s raising money from?” Trump is facing monster debt threat with over $400 million dollars of loans coming due and many of these loans are personally guaranteed.  There is no way the Trump Organization businesses can manage the necessary cash flow to settle these debts.  His only hope for financial salvation lies in his ability to con millions of Americans and solicit donations from them.  Assuming he is able to survive the current investigations of possible criminal financial behavior on the part of both him as an individual and the Trump Organization businesses running for President in 2024 is probably the best source for cash.  And, at least 40 million Americans are dumb enough to continue to contribute to a person who demonstrated his incompetence to occupy the Oval Office.
