President Trump sent a loud clear message to anyone who decides to run against him in 2024.
In Trump’s latest Truth Social Post, the 45th President stated “Who is going to enter the Trump Quicksand?”
He would follow that statement up by saying “Many have tried, leaving permanently damaged, or never to be heard from again!”
Trump’s post comes around the same time both Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo both showed interest in running for president in 2024.

Trump: "Who is going to enter the Trump Quicksand? Many have tried, leaving permanently damaged, or never to be heard from again!"

MSN shared these details on the story:
“Who is going to enter the Trump Quicksand?” the former president began.
“Many have tried, leaving permanently damaged, or never to be heard from again!”
It is unclear what he’s talking about and to whom he is referring.
The post triggered adoring reactions from his supporters, who quickly posted memes in reply including several comparing Mr Trump to a lion, a poem, and a strange QAnon-themed cartoon.
Given the former president’s mounting legal problems and recent subpoena by the January 6 committee, it may seem a bold boast to claim that his past adversaries have been “permanently damaged” or have “never been heard from again”.

Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton have all entered Trump’s quicksand and as a result, they will never be serious presidential candidates ever gain.
Pence and Pompeo will be next:
Former Vice Pres. Mike Pence had this to say when asked if he would vote for Donald Trump in 2024, if his former boss is the Republican presidential nominee: "There might be somebody else I'd prefer more." https://t.co/9GFNbQmuZV pic.twitter.com/bPEfrIIRfa

BREAKING: Mike Pompeo just told CBS that Trump running will not prevent Pompeo from also running in 2024

Washington politics is a quicksand that sucks in and destroys all manner of men.
Trump has excelled at operating within that quick sand environment and I have much respect for him.
I’ve often wondered how do we get anyone of good moral character with strategic and executive skills to run for office. Especially given the increasing partisanship and dirty dirty dirty politics.
Who wants to sign up for six more years of old people yelling at each other?
It’s time to step aside and let the next generation step up. Neither Trump, Biden, or any of the other old fools is fit to lead any more.
If they are over 70, say “No, thank you.”
This elder crap has to stop.
To each his own.
I agree. It’s time for the geriatric crowd to head to retirement. I don’t want more old people running the country. We need younger people to get involved in politics but that won’t happen until the politicians give up their power. And that won’t happen until we stop re-electing the over the hill gang to political office.
And I include trump in this. He’s getting on in years and despite everybody ranting about how sharp he is I want someone younger. He spends more time attacking people like some angry old man...not a good look.
Pence and Pompeo are welcome to make their NeverTrumper case, and divide up the 5% of the GOP vote available to them.
Darkness is not defeated by darkness but only by light. The common citizen must save America by resisting the lies and threats of the corrupt class and exposing them to light.
“This elder crap has to stop.”
“Good luck” to the youngster you’re supporting in 2024.
They’ll need a ‘ton of it’ to win the nomination.
We’ll see.
2024 is a long way off. We could see all of these 80+ year olds drop dead in short order. That would send a message. That stuff happens to old folks.
People say ridiculous things like this all the damn time.
They ignore the inconvenient detail that if you want to win political office, you have to freaking WIN. Nobody is going to "step aside" for you.
You people who want someone other than Trump as the GOP nominee, fine and dandy. Go ahead and beat him.
Good luck with that.
This "So-and-So should step aside" crap is tiresome.
Are you gearing up for the Romney/Cheney ticket?
Please…that is a lazy response.
It amuses me to see small minds try to project the world as an either/or place. This is especially true with Trump cultists.
I think the guy is too old. Biden is too old. Pelosi is too old. Grassley is too old. McConnell is too old.
These guys are fossils and living in the 1980’s. It’s time to get with the rest of the world. Boomers politicians need to retire.
It’s up to the voters to get them out of office.
Just don’t vote for them. Don’t give them money. Encourage others to get involved.
These old people are a log jam.
So you’d support say Paul Ryan over Trump because Ryan is younger?
What makes you think that? There are plenty of conservative choices.
I don’t support Trump.
I know that is sacrilege around here. He is too old.
There are plenty of single issue voters here. Mine is I am sick of senility. The best way to avoid that is to not elect those most likely to be senile—and that’s people over 75.
“ What makes you think that? There are plenty of conservative choices.”
I am addressing the logic of your argument to vote for younger and how much it may hold, how absolute your adherence would be.
You avoided the question.
If it came down to your vote, two choices for nominee Trump and Ryan, which would you vote for?
“I don’t support Trump.”
That seems obvious and probably answers the question above.
I will not vote for anyone over the age of 70.
What about that wasn’t clear? You are the one presenting candidates. We are a long way away from that conversation.
“If they are over 70, say “No, thank you.” This elder crap has to stop.”
EXACTLY! I’m looking forward to some REAL leadership from youngsters like AOC, Beto, and Jon Ossoff ...
Who is as effective as Trump was? Who?
