    … "Because I love our country."

    "Never forget, everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people," Trump told the America First Agenda Summit, delivering an America First Policy Institute (AFPI) speech which aired live on Newsmax."They want to damage you in any form, but they really want to damage me so I can no longer go back to work for you.

    "And I don't think that's going to happen."

    Trump repeated his statement that if he was not talking about another 2024 presidential campaign, the investigations, witch-hunts, and House Jan. 6 Select Committee "persecution" would quickly end.

    "If I renounce my beliefs, if I agreed to stay silent, if I stayed at home and just took it easy, the persecution of Donald Trump would stop – immediately stop," Trump continued. "But that's not what I will do. I can't do that."

    Trump admitted he had a "much simpler" life outside of politics, but he cannot stay away, because we have to "save our country."

    "I can't do that because I love our country, and I can't do that because I love the people of our country, so I can't do that," Trump said. "I wouldn't do it and people don't want me to do it.…

    Trump will stand tall and stand up for the multiracial working and middle class small business and family farm coalition against the establishment elites on both coasts of both parties.

    The bolded bit is another example of Trump myth-making divorced from reality. The Jan 6th committee will continue its work probably until they get shut down by the (likely) new Congress. The various criminal probes will reach their determinations whenever they are ready. I mean seriously, on the right you have this talking point about TDS - do you honestly believe all the 'TDS sufferers' will suddenly feel fine about letting Trump off with whatever criminal exposure they think he has?

    Well of course not all of them however there’s a big chunk of them who see him as a threat for 2024 and if he’s removed as a threat then they won’t concern themselves with him nearly as much.

    Do you think all the legal cases against Trump would immediately evaporate if he declared he wasn't running again?

    It looks like Trump's actually going to run.

    Known in common vernacular as "Riding the Tiger"

    The GOP will always owe Trump for teaching them to fight back against the Left rather than go into lapdog mode when they attack, but let's face it, Trump got out hustled by Fauci and several other lying swindlers. We need better, and I think we'll have better.

    Take Disney. Trump settled for mean tweets when attacked, DeSantis promptly hit them right in the pocketbook.

    I think it's time to move on. Trump will be 3 years older than Biden is now in 2028, on top of everything else, that's just too damn old for what can be a very demanding job, assuming the president doesn't just disappear during a crisis like Obama did during Benghazi.

    No matter how hard you try, you can never love Trump more than he loves himself.

    Trump is a traitorous bitch and a big vagina. I for one pray he is the GOPs horse in 2024. He will get crushed yet again.

    We will only sssure that with the political power, whatever is done to Trump will be visited upon Biden as soon as he leaves office. The precedent will be set and there’s enough in BiDen and his past to lock him up as well if that happens to Trump. Some cooler heads will oppose opening Pandora’s box here and starting us upon that slippery slope. Revenge will be sweet and the blood lust to see BiDen and gang locked up will be met as we pardon Trump as BiDen is locked up until the next democrat presidency if there is another one. We must make this threat up front and carry it out if they press forward anyway.

    Yes. And I trust that President DeSantis will make sure he is invited and attends the presidential gatherings that include former Presidents which I'm sure Dementia Joe will not invite him to.

    And never forget that while they focus their hate on Trump, who they really hate, is us.

    After the 2016 election, Obama welcomed Trump to the White House and attended his inauguration. Trump extended neither courtesy to Biden, so if you're trying to make a partisan point, it's not a very good one.

    Obama illegally spied on Trump and his holdovers worked to drive him from office. Trump was too politically inexperienced to defend the nation against their insurrection, other than his marvelous restoration of the Judiciary, the one place where the Senate cooperated with him. So, the Swamp managed to drive Trump out, but, there is another...

    [​IMG]

    Trump was easy compared to DeSantis. Comey, Rat-Faced Rosenstein, and hell even Fauci outfoxed Trump. Trump was too damned nice. He wanted too much to be liked. He had no fundamental understanding of just how implacable his foes are. He held over way way too many Obama folks. DeSantis will not make any those mistakes.

    Bill Clinton, his first order of business was to fire nearly every single one of the US Attorneys and replace them with his own hand picked folks. That will be more in keeping with the DeSantis approach. Being a Governor makes a difference.

    In fairness to Trump, he went first, and God Bless him, he did fight. A tough lessons were learned that will benefit the next generation of GOP leaders. We will honor Trump's service to this nation.

    He restored rising wages.
    He refused to start new wars.
    He didn't bug out of Afghanistan and make the Taliban the best armed terrorist group in the world.
    He visited North Korea and warmed greeted the leader of country we have been at war with for 70 years.
    He began the Abraham Accords that will serve as a foundation for further peace in the Middle East.
    He restored the Judiciary and the Supreme Court.

    That 'illegality' is very much disputed.

    When you forge evidence to get a warrant and lie to the FISA court in order to trick then into approving spying, the spying that results is illegal. If they wanted to remain under the color of law, they would have acted lawfully, honestly, and with integrity, but, if they would have told the truth the warrants would have never been approved.

    You are free to make excuses for them. I will not.

    Top 5 for sure. Right there with Washington, Jefferson, Polk, Lincoln, Coolidge, Reagan. Jefferson and Polk both doubled the size of our nation in their time, tie for 5th along with Coolidge for tax and economic reasons.

    They have nothing legitimate on him. Just a political witch hunt.

    Do you think all the investigations will suddenly stop if Trump declares he isn't running in 2024?

    That last sentence is so very right on! The feeling is mutual.
