Trump vows a ‘comeback,’ trashes Biden at massive first rally of 2022 campaign season
The Washington Times ^ | Jan 16 | By Joseph Clark

Posted on 01/16/2022 7:41:59 PM PST by RandFan

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday promised that he would be staging a “comeback,” his clearest indication yet that he plans to run for the White House in 2024.

He said it would be a “comeback the likes of which nobody has ever seen.”

He made the pledge at his first rally speech of the 2022 election season. He also blasted “tyrannical” vaccine mandates, runaway inflation and a national crime wave in a brick-by-brick takedown of President Biden’s first years in office.

In the nearly two-hour speech in Florence, Arizona, he piled on top of the mounting defeats for Mr. Biden: the virus still raging, the Supreme Court blocking Mr. Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers and Mr. Biden’s agenda in its death throes in Congress.

“We’ve had more problems, we’ve had more destruction than five presidents put together in the last year,” he said at the “Save America” rally.

He also sounded off against the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, saying Democrats are using the riot to “justify an unprecedented assault on American civil rights and liberties.”

Nice to hear but if he doesn’t go in with a team of hard a##es to clean things up in the FBI DOJ and the rest of these weaponized agencies we are back to square one again

Do you mean PDJT lost the election on purpose to help China?

Of course not. Some people think, however, that Trump is STILL! fully in control of things, and not to get too outraged about things because he has a plan that is going along perfectly.

OK. Thanks for clarifying.

People think Trump is still in full control?!? Seriously? That’s just nuts. If he were in full control he’d be sitting behind Resolute now.

"Trump will never be POTUS again ."

I agree with you. I love the guy and respect the hell out of him, I think he is exactly what we need, but the amount of visceral hatred he brings with him as well is just too hard to overcome now.

He is to the left what Hillary is to us, only more so. If he just would have learned to not jump every time someone baited him he would still be President, but it's not in his nature. Too many wishy washy swing voters just can't stand his style to overcome the logical consequences of what happens if they don't vote for him.

Yeah it’s all that Qanon BS he is talking about.

Not sure why he thought to counter it here when I didn’t see anything Q at all.

Haven’t finished my coffee yet maybe I missed something.

“it’s all that Qanon BS he is talking about.”

Oh. Q. I’m not up on that and don’t really know what it is. Have never gone to any of the Q threads, but have commented on a few posts as I’ve seen them fly by on “Latest Posts” once in a while.

Just in time for the 2022 elections:

A document issued issued Jan 6 by the US Health and Human Services tells hospitals they are no longer required to report daily COVID-19 deaths to the federal government starting Feb 2.

The HHS document calling on hospitals to end COVID-19 death reporting was published the same day as former Biden advisors published an article in JAMA.

calling for the US government to “retire” the reporting of deaths from COVID19

Can you post a link to this please?

I don’t believe he will run...but he’s “protecting” his picks.

I don't either but he's making good $$$ and keeping his brand going.

I think DeSantis woukd be excellent too. But, he hasn’t made an announcement either.

DeSantis can't announce yet as he's trying to win Florida's gubernatorial election later this year. He needs to wrap that up first.

You're dreaming if you think the Dems will only go after Trump and those who support him. Think back to Palin. They went after her too. They just didn't need to do as much.

They lied about icky McCain and Romney. It's their MO. Admittedly, they stepped up their game big time against Trump but he had/has much bigger support.

I'm not going to base my choice on who I think the opposition won't go after as much. Trump or DeSantis, both great leaders. The Dems will excoriate either one of them.

Small quibble: Trump told the truth about Creepy Joe. This is not “trashing” him. You can’t trash a guy who is already hiding in a garbage can. Pull Oscar out, and you will find Creepy Joe.

“What do you folks think?”

He wouldn’t run if he couldn’t take the heat. He’s battle-hardened and he knows that we need him.

Besides, when the mid-terms are over in 2022, he’s going to have a slightly more friendly Congress to work with in 2024.

Pelosi would be gone, for starters.

The reality is there are consequences to a lot of bad decisions that have been made in the past.

Will we stick with Trumps plan for the long term? IT will be painful under Trump.

People started camping out 3 days before. Local Pinal County Sheriff source said 50,000+. Many were stuck in a long, long 25-mile traffic line, the site was beyond capacity anyway.

But Slow Joe, who couldn't get a hundred people to his rallies, got 81 million votes. Yeah, sure he did...

He has my vote. He also has my money. Trump is the only politician to whom I've ever given money. And I will again.
