Just spitballing here, but who among us can rule out a Trump re-run for president if he loses to Biden in November?
First, it’s a cash cow: his properties clean up and he makes a mint off the Chinese-made swag.
Second: he needs the rallies and the stroking of his ego that would accompany a second run for the White House.
This is what drives the orange menace. Money and adulation. He’s not too concerned with the whole power part of the job; unless it makes him money and increases his popularity among the dregs of society.
And there’s one thing that could make a second run even more compelling for him: Add his daughter to the ticket. Twice the Trumps, twice the grift!
I can see it now. He loses to Biden by a wide enough margin that he can’t possibly try to cling to power, and before Biden can solemnly swear, Trump is announcing his run for 2024 — maybe on inauguration day, or the day before.
While Biden is surrounded by the Obamas and Clintons of the world, the orange menace is on a stage at one of his hotels, probably in DC, surrounded by the lowest of the low: recently pardoned Paul Manifort, Joe Arpaio, Roger Stone, and maybe Edward Snowden. Oh, and the yahoo sheriff with the big cowboy hat. His talent pool of Lewandowsky, Kellyeanne Conway, maybe Diamond and Silk. Those worthless boys of his will also be there, including Jared the miracle worker.
Then, after soaking up the applause from the paid crowd in the room, he’ll trot out his running mate, none other than Princess Ivanka herself. His slogan might well be “Two Trumps Are Better Than One!”
He’ll promise to bring back that roaring economy, you know, the one he ruined with his ineptness when the pandemic hit. And he’ll hold rally after rally for the next four years, while Biden and company are trying to dig us out of this whole he’s put us in. “Look at the horrible economy!” he’ll say. “It was great when I was in charge!”
Would someone please wake me from this nightmare?
