Trump 2024 Run Thread

No. I voted for Trump because I don't vote based on the color of their spray-on, or because they're a narcissist, you'd have to be an extreme narcissist to even want to be POTUS.
This country is in a severe slide because people voted against orange skin.

Let’s get some clarification here….

So you think he’s not a crook and bad for America?

That his only negative is narcissim and orange skin?

That he was actually good for America and Americans?

That he’s not the lesser of two evils, but actually a good….a net positive for America when he was President?

Is that what you believe?

I mean, he's probably a crook.
 
Not laughing, but voting for a Haley/Scott/DeSantis is absolutely not a vote for Trump.

I agree with your disgust that many members of Congress objected to certify the election, but we both know that occurred three other times just this century.
Those people are polling so low at this point, that Trump is inevitable IMO.
 
A not very clever dodge.

Have the courage of your convictions….whatever they are.
Snooze all you want Rob.

The fact remains, either you come back and defend your boy as a net positive/good for America or you are doing the same thing as everybody else you have criticized is doing…..lesser of two evils.
 
Trump seeks to delay classified documents trial until after 2024 election BBC

sure mr. trump, we'll just wait until your narcissistic self is ready...

Donald Trump has asked for his trial on charges of illegally stashing classified documents to be postponed until after the 2024 election.
In a filing on Monday, lawyers for the former US president said a proposed trial date of 11 December would deny them reasonable time to prepare.
They also cited challenges in finding an impartial jury due to the election.
Mr Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts during an arraignment in Miami, Florida last month.
Prosecutors allege he illegally held on to files with sensitive information at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructed federal government efforts to retrieve them.
The Department of Justice has not commented on the latest filing, which applies both to Mr Trump and his aide Walt Nauta who has also pleaded not guilty in the case.

The trial date was initially set for 14 August, but it was later postponed until 11 December to give both sides more time to prepare. Prosecutors asked for that delay, anticipating the defence would oppose the initial schedule.
In the filing, Mr Trump's lawyers describe the case as "extraordinary" and argue the amount of evidence that needs to be reviewed warrants a delay.
They argue it will be "challenging" to prepare for the trial before the presidential election in November 2024, for which Mr Trump is the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination.

His legal team then ask the federal court in Florida to hold off altogether on setting a new date for criminal proceedings to begin.
"The government's request to begin a trial of this magnitude within six months of indictment is unreasonable, telling, and would result in a miscarriage of justice," the document filed by Chris Kise, one of Mr Trump's lawyers, claims.
"[It] will create extraordinary challenges in the jury selection process and limit the defendants' ability to secure a fair and impartial adjudication," it adds.


Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the initial stages of the case, will rule on the request.
Mr Trump is facing 37 counts, including wilful retention of national defence information and obstruction of justice.
According to the indictment, Mr Trump directed Mr Nauta to move boxes that were a focus of the investigation from a storage room at the resort. Prosecutors said he can be seen on surveillance footage moving the boxes.
Mr Nauta, who was indicted at the same time as Mr Trump, has denied six charges, including conspiracy and making false statements.
Meanwhile in Georgia, the selection process is due to begin on Tuesday for the grand jury which could decide whether to bring charges against Mr Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
He has described the criminal investigation as a "strictly political witch hunt".

Georgia grand jury picked for possible charges in Trump election case BBC

A US grand jury that is expected to decide whether to charge former President Donald Trump and his allies over their efforts to overturn the 2020 election has been sworn in in Georgia.
Mr Trump has been under investigation for his 2021 phone call to a Georgia election official, pressing him to find thousands of votes in his favour.
The Republican has denied wrongdoing.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wallis, a Democrat, launched the investigation in early 2021.
She has previously hinted that any charges would probably be filed in August.
A focal point of the inquiry is a January 2021 call between Mr Trump and Georgia's chief elections officer, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which the then-president suggested local officials could "find" more than 11,000 votes - enough to give him a victory in the Peach State.

In a recording of the call, Mr Raffensperger is heard replying that Georgia's results are correct.

Mr Trump continued to make unsubstantiated claims of widespread electoral fraud in the months after he left the White House.
Currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Mr Trump continues to deny the 2020 presidential election results, and has called the Georgia probe a "political witch hunt", while describing his call with Mr Raffensperger as "perfect".

Trump loses immunity in E Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit BBC

Ex-President Donald Trump can be held liable for disparaging comments he made about a woman who accused him of rape, the US Department of Justice has said.
Its lawyers previously argued Mr Trump was legally immune as he was president when he made the remarks in 2019.
But on Tuesday government attorneys said they no longer had "sufficient basis" to conclude Mr Trump had acted within the scope of his duties.
The decision boosts E Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Mr Trump.
In May, Mr Trump was ordered to pay the former magazine columnist $5m (£3.9m) after being found liable for sexual abuse of her in 1996 at a New York department store.
Ms Carroll, 79, is currently seeking $10m from Mr Trump in a defamation lawsuit, which is due to go to trial in January.

The legal action cites his remarks as president about her in 2019 while responding to reporters' questions.
The lawsuit has been updated to reflect further comments he made about her during a CNN town hall the day after the court's verdict two months ago.

The DoJ once ruled that while POTUS Trump was immune to facing the E Jean Carroll trial and was shielded. They have recently reversed this decision since Trump is no longer POTUS and confirmed they will no longer protect him in this case since he is no longer acting within the scope of POTUS.

Trump has already lost one case related to this However, he didn't take the DoJ News very well yesterday

Trump spouted off on Truth Social early Wednesday, bemoaning the DOJ and the judge, asserting that his comments about Carrol were true and claiming the defamation case was another leg of the "political Witch Hunt" against him.

"The DOJ will not defend me in the E. Jean Carroll civil case, which is all part of the political Witch Hunt, lawyered up by a political operative who I just beat in another case, financed by a big political funder, and 'judged' by a Clinton appointee who truly hates 'TRUMP,'" he wrote in the first of three posts. "The statements that I made about Carroll are all true. I didn't Rape her (I won that at trial) and other than for this case, I have NO IDEA WHO SHE IS, WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER…."


"The Carroll civil case against me is a Miscarriage of Justice and a total Scam. The trial was very unfair, with the other side being able to do and present virtually anything they wanted, and our side being largely and wrongfully shut down by an absolutely hostile, biased, and out of control judge. My lawyers, due to their respect for the Office of the President and the incredulity of the case, did not want me to testify, or even be at the trial….." Trump continued.

"The net result of this horrible INJUSTICE, where a completely unknown to me woman made up a ridiculous story, wrote it in a book to increase publicity and sales, I correctly disputed the story and got sued for Defamation, whereupon a hostile Judge and Jury shockingly awarded a woman who I don't know, have never known, and don't want to know, $5,000,000, while at the same time throwing out the Fake Rape claim," he concluded. "WE ARE STRONGLY APPEALING THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!!!"


Former U.S. attorney Harry Litman clarified on Tuesday, however, that the Justice Department's determination came as a result of Trump's own actions.

"Importantly, it wasn't just an arbitrary reversal of the Westfall Act (scope of employment) argument in the Trump case but a change in position based on change in circumstances," Litman wrote, "aka another big self-inflicted wound by Trump."

Trump and Allies Forge Plans to Increase Presidential Power in 2025​

Trump and his associates have a broader goal: to alter the balance of power by increasing the president’s authority over every part of the federal government that now operates, by either law or tradition, with any measure of independence from political interference by the White House, according to a review of his campaign policy proposals and interviews with people close to him.

Trump intends to bring independent agencies — like the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, and the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses — under direct presidential control.


The president’s plan should be to fundamentally reorient the federal government in a way that hasn’t been done since FDR’s New Deal,” said John McEntee, a former White House personnel chief who began Trump’s systematic attempt to sweep out officials deemed to be disloyal in 2020 and who is now involved in mapping out the new approach.

“Our current executive branch,” McEntee added, “was conceived of by liberals for the purpose of promulgating liberal policies. There is no way to make the existing structure function in a conservative manner. It’s not enough to get the personnel right. What’s necessary is a complete system overhaul.”
“What we’re trying to do is identify the pockets of independence and seize them,”
s
aid Russell T. Vought, who ran the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump White House and now runs a policy organization, the Center for Renewing America.
It would be chaotic,” said John Kelly, Trump’s second White House chief of staff. It just simply would be chaotic, because he’d continually be trying to exceed his authority but the sycophants would go along with it. It would be a nonstop gunfight with the Congress and the courts.”
“The notion of independent federal agencies or federal employees who don’t answer to the president violates the very foundation of our democratic republic,”
said Kevin D. Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, adding that the contributors to Project 2025 are committed to “dismantling this rogue administrative state.
Asked whether presidents should be able to order interest rates lowered before elections, even if experts think that would hurt the long-term health of the economy, Vought said that would have to be worked out with Congress. But “at the bare minimum,” he said, the Federal Reserve’s regulatory functions should be subject to White House review.

Trump has also vowed to impound funds, or refuse to spend money appropriated by Congress. After Nixon used the practice to aggressively block agency spending he was opposed to, on water pollution control, housing construction and other issues, Congress banned the tactic.
