Three Reasons Why Trump Shouldn’t Run for President in 2024

We need a strong and measured president to lead America in these precarious times. One who doesn’t bandy loose threats of annihilation or petty insults against foreign leaders on social media. One who doesn’t necessarily embrace his role as being the most polarizing figure in American politics. One who passionately rebukes the media and demolishes their lies, but remains grounded in logic, reason, and facts.

We need a leader who can’t be tied to leading America into COVID lockdowns or, right or wrong, the mythological January 6 “insurrection.” And most importantly, we need a leader that doesn’t come with the physical and mental impairments that come with 78 years of life on Earth, as Trump will be carrying in 2024.

The frontrunner for that role, it seems clear, should be Ron DeSantis. And while Trump was the right man for the presidency in his time, I hope that he will recognize that his time for that role has passed, and he will pass the torch to his natural successor.

Amen to this article.

I would add this: If Democrats could pick the Republican candidate for President in 2024, I think they would pick Trump. They have a raft of Trump hatred to recycle & they can count on the never-Trump RINO crowd to back them up. All of that motivation disappears, the never-Trumpers are neutered if DeSantis is the nominee.

what a load of horseshit ...

how many wars did Trump start with Russia when he was President? Or start any OTHER wars for that matter?

Who destroyed ISIS?

Who made the U.S. energy independent when he was President?

Who made NATA pay up when he was President?

Who approved the XL pipeline when he was President?

Who started building the Southern wall when he was President?

Who built up our military when he was President?

Who had almost zero percent inflation when he was President?

Who had full shelves with no “shortages” when he was President?

Who had no supply chain problems when he was President?

Who never had to beg foreign countries for energy imports?

Who forced hospitals to publicly disclose their price lists?

Who forced the drug companies to sell inexpensive insulin?

and on and on and on ...

I WANT ALL OF THAT BACK AND ONLY ONE PRESIDENT IN MY 70 YEAR LIFETIME HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND IT WAS PRESIDENT DONALD J.TRUMP ... AND I’M TIRED OF ANY BULLSHIT “NEEDED CONVERSATION” NONSENSE ...

I want a president who will deploy a Torquemada vengeance on the thousands of democrat and RINO traitors.

A president who (on day one) will order the arrest and imprisonment of all the 2020 election coup plotters (we already know who they are).

A president who will hold a raffle for those lucky enough to be selected as the public executioners of those traitorous lechers.

Anything after that is just gravy. /spit

Which of the hurled insults were untruthful?

Part three of my tagline says it all.

we need to have this conversation.

We've been HAVING this conversation.

Over and over and over.

People who prefer Ron DeSantis (who indeed will be elected President someday) in 2024 need to understand there is only one way that happens: DeSANTIS HAS TO BEAT TRUMP IN THE GOP PRIMARIES.

Barring that – and there is ZERO evidence DeSantis would run against Trump now – this is all just pathetically weak wishful thinking, consisting of one strategy: basically hoping Trump doesn't run.

Sorry, that's not how it works.

You want a different nominee? You have to defeat Trump.

Good luck with that.

...so many people have been brainwashed into hating Trump and will never vote for him?

Few of those brainwashed will vote for any non-RAT candidate anyway. The RAT core 25-30%.

This may not be the place to bring this up but we need to have this conversation. Trump accomplished the most in his 4 years. His rough edges were necessary in dealing with the left. He didn't get people killed(Afghanistan) but he will not be given his due because people concentrate on the insults which may have run their shelf life. We've got the bench. 2 election cycles could do it. 2024 should be his second term by proxy. He'll still be around. House speaker in 2025 or move back to NY and head the UN. The world needs his leadership

Even if Santis is as nice and compliant and polite as the wind driven snow the press will STILL make up things. That's what they did for 95% of Trump's supposed insults.

“And besides if I continue, I might get crude or vulgar like Trump and then someone’s delicate sensibilities will get in a wad.”

Please do as it flushes out the backstabbers and other ne’er-do-wells. If your not pissing people off, you’re not making a difference has been my motto.

Hello Jim, yet another GREAT FREEPER!
The proletariat, you and me, have the power to overthrow the posers and imposters.
Speak truth, from the hilltops.
Speak truth without stopping.
Speak truth in the face of lies, of fraud, of anger and hatred.
Speak truth to lies and the lies will fall.
NEVER fear to speak truth.

Trump needs to lighten up. Biden will continue to fail and Kamala is an embarrassment. There is an opportunity to get back the suburban housewives. Married women don’t need the government and Biden/Harris is making their lives worse.

In 2025 he needs to cut out the 10% of government that can disappear without anyone noticing it’s gone. He’s gotta go fast. Replace the illegals with Ukrainian families-we need the kids.

I convinced myself Trump was that leader, but I was wrong.

Same. But, early on I did say, he has far too much to lose and far too much he holds dear.

Now there are men willing to do the hard things and men who live with that level of danger and risk everyday. Ofcourse, they aren't gonna be boy scouts and are going to have to do a lot of the things we were told Trump was doing or going to do.

One of those men needs to show up, pdq.

We don't need perfect.

We need strong.

We need brave.

We need a full understanding of what it takes and what is needed.

Trump could have, maybe, stopped this train 25 years ago. He wasn't the man for the hour. I like Trump, was a big supporter and think he did much good.

Ultimately though, we lost time, momentum and most importantly our voice on the internet where we were gaining strength at an amazing level.
