Former President Donald Trump, aiming to become only the second commander-in-chief ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms, announced Tuesday night that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
“In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” Trump told a crowd gathered at Mar-a-Lago, his waterfront estate in Florida, where his campaign will be headquartered.
Surrounded by allies, advisers, and conservative influencers, Trump delivered a relatively subdued speech, rife with spurious and exaggerated claims about his four years in office. Despite a historically divisive presidency and his own role in inciting an attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump aimed to evoke nostalgia for his time in office, frequently contrasting his first-term accomplishments with the Biden administration’s policies and the current economic climate. Many of those perceived accomplishments – from strict immigration actions to corporate tax cuts and religious freedom initiatives – remain deeply polarizing to this day.
As Trump spoke to a roomful of Republicans who expect him to face primary challengers in the coming months, he also claimed the party cannot afford to nominate “a politician or conventional candidate” if it wants to win back the White House.
“This will not be my campaign, this will be our campaign all together,” Trump said.

Did the title of the article change?
Grover Cleveland Trump — although it will be three consecutive.
Hey you may have a great idea. I may file to run just so FB will leave me alone!
Not that I know of.
Facebook Fact-Checkers = Oxymoron
“Trump delivered a relatively subdued speech, rife with spurious and
exaggerated claims about his four years in office. Despite a historically divisive
presidency and his own role in inciting an attack on the US Capitol on January
6, 2021,.. ”
Just trash reporting. It is CNN so what should we expect.
Why an editorial of course.
And the article went downhill from there which I didn’t think would be possible. I just don’t get the world these people inhabit.
historically divisive
Yes he said his room was tapped, called a liar, and proven right.
The FBI surveilled him during the campaign and into the White Bouse.
He was accused of colluding with Russia and investigate for four
years, all bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and US tax dollars.
Yes, he was so divisive.
Hillary, the FBI, the Justice Department, Congressman Schiff,
Liz Cheney, many many others, paragons of virtue.
Don’t forget Paul Ryan, the man who could have shut the Russia Hoax down to begin with, Or Jeff Sessions, the Lindsey Graham of his generation.
“make America great and glorious again”
MAGAGA
Google News Today had the CNN FACT CHECKING TRUMPS ANNOUNCEMENT story at the top, first thing... and the actual story covering him actually announcing he was running way down near the bottom...
But, no propaganda or manipulation going on... no... none.
Same here…
