Trump 2024 Run Thread

Lankford weighs in on Trump​

​

GOP Senator Sidesteps Backing Trump Multiple Times: ‘I’ve Stayed Out of This’​

George Stephanopoulos pressed James Lankford repeatedly to clarify where he stands on Trump support during a tense exchange​


Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., refused to say whether he's prepared to support Donald Trump as his party's 2024 nominee when pressed multiple times by ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.
On "This Week" Sunday Stephanopoulos noted that Trump is the Republican Party's leading candidate despite dozens of criminal charges, continuing to claim 2020 was a fraudulent election without proof, and more.


"In the face of all that and more, are you prepared to support Donald Trump if he’s your party’s nominee?" the former Bill Clinton communications director asked.
"We haven't had a single vote yet, George, this is still weeks and weeks away from our first votes are happening actually in Iowa," Lankford said, adding the decision would not ultimately be up to him.
"You're a Republican senator and I’m asking for your opinion," Stephanopoulos pressed. "Given that record of Donald Trump, are you prepared to support him if he’s the nominee of your party?"
"I have not actually endorsed anyone for president at this time," Lankford said. "And I didn’t during the 2016 time period either. And so I’ve stayed out of this."

He added: "Again, that’s going to be Republican voters and the American people that are going to make that decision in the primary. And then in November, it will be American voters as well."

Stephanopoulos pushed further and got Lankford to admit that it's "not a hard choice" if he has to choose between President Joe Biden and Trump.
Asked if he would support Trump if he's convicted of a crime, Lankford again avoided a full endorsement.

"We have a long way to go in that, George," the senator said. "I know you're trying to jump ahead through a lot of different things here. I understand that everyone is innocent until proven guilty in this process. We've got to be able to go through a lot of things and again we're back to the American people. The American people make this choice."

Steve Bannon: Non-Christian nationalists 'all have to be purged' in Trump's second term​


Right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon called for a purging of people who are not Christian nationalists if Donald Trump wins a second term as president.

On his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon celebrated author Tim Alberta's warnings about Christian nationalism on MSNBC.

"When you begin to think of America as almost this covenant nation, that God has ordained us, God has blessed us, and you are fighting for God by fighting for America, that is Christian nationalism, and that is what has infected much of the church today," Alberta told the hosts of Morning Joe.

"Sign me up," Bannon reacted. "I mean, I think this is the best recruiting pitch I've heard."

Bannon's guest, My Pillow CEO and election denier Mike Lindell, called Alberta's MSNBC appearance "amazing."

"A nation had turned its back on God, and God's given us grace right now for such a time as this for the greatest revival in history," Lindell said.


Bannon compared Trump to Roman dictator Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus.

"Trump's the American Cincinnatus has come back to fight all this," he remarked. "This is why they're trying to throw him in prison."

The War Room host vowed to play the clip of Alberta all day.

"He's saying the problem in the church — think about that — the problem we have in the church is people love the country too much. No, dude, that's not the problem," Bannon insisted. "That's the sick, twisted people that watch MSNBC that must be defeated so they no longer can infest the government of this country."

"They all have to be purged," he added. "Purged. Right. Anybody who would think that was bad has to be purged."

Donald Trump PROMOTES Washington Post column claiming he'll be Julius Caesar-esque dictator if he's re-elected in 2024​


  • On Monday, Trump 'retruthed' a WaPo essay alluding to his future dictatorship
  • 'Like Caesar, Trump wields a clout that transcends the laws and institutions of government,' wrote the article's author Robert Kagan

Donald Trump has promoted a Washington Post column that warned of an inevitable 'Trump dictatorship,' should he be reelected in 2024.

Trump, who remains some 30-40 points ahead of the rest of the GOP primary field, 'retruthed' a post from Republican congressman Cory Mills that included the link to Robert Kagan's essay.
 

Trump HIMSELF shared this exact story on his own Social Media Platform along with an Endorsement about why this article is the Reason that you should Vote for Trump......​

So Gaetz is now claiming that the story Trump himself shared is somehow a Media Greenlight calling for a Trump assassination. ​

Matt Gaetz accuses media of ‘greenlighting’ Trump assassination​


Florida Rep Matt Gaetz has claimed that the press is “green-lighting” the assassination of former President Donald Trump by reporting on what a second Trump term would look like.

On Monday, Mr Gaetz tweeted “They’re obviously green-lighting assassination” and included a screenshot from a Washington Post op-ed by Post Opinions contributing editor Robert Kagan bearing the headline “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending”.

Responding to Mr Gaetz, Condé Nast Legal Affairs Editor Luke Zaleski noted that “There is nothing you can say or do to confront Maga gaslighting that won’t be met with more MAGA gaslighting”.

“They’ll say anything to make themselves the victim and hero in everything. And there is nothing you can say to do anything about it. That is the MAGA gaslighting paradox,” he added.

The Heritage Foundation and National Review are two of the Most right Leaning entities around out there.....and Trump has lost them on his New Education idea he is floating for a 2nd term

'I hate it': Far-right think tank slams Trump’s 'terrible idea' for public schools​


One of former President Donald Trump's proposed education policies should he win a second term in the White House was recently panned by one of the most influential conservative voices in Washington, DC.

Earlier this year, Trump announced a plan to roll out a new federal credentialing system for public school teachers, stating on his website that he wanted to "take back control from the Radical Left maniacs indoctrinating our children," and implied replacing state-approved curriculum with "quality, pro-American education." However, Kevin Roberts, who is president of the Heritage Foundation, told the Wall Street Journal in a December 2 interview that he wasn't enthusiastic about the policy.

"I hate it. It’s a terrible idea," Roberts told the Journal.

In a Washington Post column, Jim Geraghty — a senior political correspondent for the conservative National Review — wrote that it "takes a lot to get the Heritage crowd to be critical of the former president these days." He noted that in addition to Heritage ditching its Reaganite ideals for Trump-style MAGA philosophy, the think tank has also taken a leading role in Project 2025, which is a comprehensive plan to staff the federal service with tens of thousands of MAGA loyalists to help a Republican administration effectively end-run traditional checks and balances in order to more effectively accomplish far-right political goals.

Geraghty wrote that in addition to opposition from Heritage — which opposes all forms of teacher certification at the state level — the US Constitution itself may be at odds with Trump's plans to overhaul public education credentialing standards.


"Right now, states set their own standards for certification of teachers; it is unclear what would happen if a teacher had state certification but not Trump’s new federal certification, or vice versa," Geraghty wrote. "Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government the authority to determine who is eligible to teach in public schools. But, given what we know of Trump, he isn’t going to let some little detail such as that stand in his way."

In the days leading up to the 2020 presidential election, then-President Trump's White House issued a statement promoting what it called "patriotic education," saying "some versions of American history offer a misconstrued and one-sided account of our founding in an effort to paint America as a systemically racist country." The Post's Valerie Strauss said Trump's education initiative "attempts to excuse Founding Fathers who enslaved people."

Donald Trump Warns of Nuclear Bomb 500 Times Bigger Than Hiroshima​

Former President Donald Trump warned about the potential for nuclear weapons to be used and suggested there was a risk of it happening during the current Israel conflict.

In criticizing President Joe Biden, Trump has said that people weren't discussing the potential use of nuclear weapons when he was in office. Trump has juxtaposed that with elevated concerns about nuclear weapons use and during the town hall with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday, the former president said it was the biggest issue the world is currently facing.


"The level of power of nuclear weapons is incredible. Take Hiroshima or take Nagasaki and that was many, many decades ago and multiply that times 500, that's what a big bomb would be today," Trump said. "Whether it's Israel or major countries, nuclear weapons are the biggest problems we have."

Israel has never confirmed that it has nuclear weapons, but comments in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks have further fueled belief that Israel is also armed with them. Revital "Tally" Gotliv, an Israeli lawmaker, called for Israel to use a "doomsday" nuclear weapon to level Gaza. Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu suggested that nuclear weapons were an option for the conflict and was subsequently suspended for his remark.


Newsweek reached out to Trump via email for comment Tuesday night but did not receive a response in time for publication.

In June, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a nuclear watchdog, warned the world was "kind of in the danger zone" when it came to the potential for nuclear war. The scientists pointed to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The "Doomsday Clock" was set at 90 seconds to midnight, the highest it's ever been, including during the Cold War.

"It used to be 10 years ago, 5 years ago, even 3 years ago, you couldn't mention the word 'nuclear.' Now it's being mentioned at every meeting, every time you talk, it's being mentioned," Trump said on Tuesday.

In October, the Pentagon announced that it was working on building a new nuclear bomb to replace America's aging stockpile. The B61-13, a new variant of the B61 gravity bomb, would have an explosive yield similar to that of the B61-7 variant, which is 360 kilotons.


If accurate, the latest bomb would have 22 times the explosive force of the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

The Department of Defense credited the newest bomb with being able to give the president more options for attacks on certain difficult and large-area military targets.
 
Donald Trump says he will be a 'dictator' only on 'day one.' Then he'll focus on drilling. usatoday

Donald Trump mocked questions about authoritarianism on Tuesday, saying he would be a dictator only on "day one," and then he's going to close the border and get to drilling.

"After that, I'm not a dictator, OK?" the Republican presidential frontrunner told Fox News host Sean Hannity before a very friendly crowd in Davenport, Iowa.
...
“Donald Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he’s reelected and tonight he said he will be a dictator on day one," said a statement from Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the Biden-Harris campaign manager. "Americans should believe him.”

The former president and frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2024 has described some of his opponents as "vermin," a term used by 20th century dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

"If Trump wasn't running, I'm not sure I'd be running,” Biden told supporters during a fundraiser Tuesday, adding that he and his supporters “cannot let him win.”
...
Mark Esper, a former defense secretary during the Trump administration, told MSNBC that a re-elected Trump will be able to "enact his policy of revenge that he’s been talking about, and retribution. And look, it’s quite a dangerous time for our democracy if that were to happen."
...
Fox News billed the event as a "town hall," but no one from the Trump-friendly audience got to ask a question.
 
This guy has completely lost it. From saying he would be a Dictator but for Only one day and now Predicting he will get 150 MILLION votes in 2024

To put that into perspective. There were only a TOTAL of 155 Million votes cast in ALL of 2020 Election and there are only 210 MILLION total Registered Voters in the US.

SO he is predicting there will be at LEAST a 72% Turn out of ALL Registered Voters in the US in 2024 and that ALL 72% of those Voters are going to VOTE for him.....as that is the only way to get to the 150 Million he is claiming he will get now.

Voter Turn out in 2020 was an all time high for the 21st Century with a 62% turn out of all registered voters....which was a TOTAL of 160 Million who voted in 2020

The highest it has ever been was in 1900 when the voter turn out was 73.7%

This guy is a complete Lunatic

I doubt oil drillers like the sound of more oil drilling coming from Trump, since the price of oil is down, due to increased drilling and less demand.

How long before Trump can start posting on Twitter again, or X? I miss him regularly making a fool of himself on there. But not sure if he would help X attract more advertisers.
 
Charles Barkley Hammers Donald Trump and 'Nutty' MAGA newsweek

...
"The thing that concerns me about him if he were to win again, I think he would spend the next four years just trying to pay back people who said or did anything to him. It would all be about retribution," Barkley said.

"We've got people out here who need money for their bills, they need food and things like that, so I don't care who the president is, he's supposed to take care of the people. It ain't about retribution, it ain't about what people said about you in the last couple of years, that's one of the reasons I'm not a big Trump fan, I'm just not."
...
Barkley continued: "It's the president of the United States, it ain't for a small little group of nutty people, it's everybody. I don't have anything against Republicans, I don't have anything against Democrats."

King cut in to tell Barkley that Trump's supporters would "object to you calling them nutty people," to which Barkley replied: "I only call them that because they are, they're crazy. They're like your drunk friend. Once your friend's drunk and there's nothing you can say to them, can you imagine?"

He went on to say that Trump isn't "even presidential," saying that although he didn't agree with George W. Bush's politics, he acted like a president. Barkley added: "You're supposed to be superior, you're a leader of the most important place in the world, you're supposed to carry yourself a certain way."
