This couldn’t be more plain if were made of vanilla yogurt. President Trump will be running again in 2024. The only decision left to make is WHEN he announces.
That’s not my take, that’s what he basically said when talking to Buck Sexton and Clay Travis from his Bedminster golf club this week.
They posted a clip to Twitter that is all you need to know, but I also copied some of the transcript from their website below that.
How can Donald Trump NOT run in 2024?

Yeah he’s running. And just read this from the site.
CLAY: How do you not run? I know you’ve been teasing —
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Yeah.
CLAY: “Hey, I’m gonna make a decision at some point.” How…? Knowing what you know and seeing what you see of Joe Biden, how do you not run in 2024?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Very hard for me not to run, to be honest. And also, the polls indicate that, from the Republican standpoint, it would be easy. And I think from, like… I was up 11 points against Biden the other day. I don’t think he’s gonna run, and I don’t know why 11. You know, how can you only be up…? If you guys ran, you’d be up more than 11.
CLAY: (laughing)
PRESIDENT TRUMP: So, I don’t even understand. You’re up 11 points? I don’t understand how that could be possible. For instance, they show him at 35, or they show him at 39 or they show him at 41. And I say, 41’s a lot. How…? Who is the 41%? Where are these people? Where do they live?
CLAY: That’s what we ask.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, no. They say, “Oh, he’s really getting killed. He’s at 41.” Now, I’m at a great number now. You know I have the best poll numbers now I’ve ever had?
CLAY: It’s true.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: It’s amazing. Even at the Charlie Kirk event the other day, Turning Point, I had 79 to 19 to one and zero — and most of them had zero. But 79, that’s a lot.
And check THIS out:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I think he got it in reverse. But if you look, I mean, covid is all over the place. You know, there wasn’t — and I’m not even blaming him, okay? I’m not blaming. That’s just the way it is. I’m not saying, “Oh, gee.” But I looked at a map yesterday. It’s very interesting. We have an election coming up, and all of a sudden, they’re saying covid is all over the place.
CLAY: The midterm variant is certainly spreading.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: May have to go to mail-in ballots. Crooked mail-in ballots.
BUCK: There are some things we just have to ask you, Mr. President. If you’re gonna announce, when are you gonna announce? Can you tell us that?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, if I’m gonna announce, I’ll have to make a decision, is it going to be…? You know, two words: Is it before or after? And there are reasons for both. Some very good things about earlier. There’s some very good things about later. The way I look at it is if I announce early and we do well, I’ll get credit for having done well — as much as you’ll get ’cause the press won’t give you credit anyway. If I do poorly, I’ll get absolutely… It’ll be horrible. But if I announce later and we do well, I won’t get any criticized.
In fact, if I announce later and we don’t do well, whether it’s before or after, they’ll blame me. In other words, if we do badly, they’ll blame me no matter what even if I had nothing to do with it. So I don’t know. I will make a decision. The one thing I can say for sure: Our country’s going to hell. I don’t think we’ve ever been so disrespected. In all of the years that this country’s been around — and it’s been a lot of years — I don’t think we’ve ever been so disrespected as a country. All they talk about…
You know, everything they do is disinformation or misinformation. Call it what you want. Disinformation, whether it’s Russia, Russia, Russia, or whether it’s, “Are we in a recession or not?” it doesn’t matter. The key is to get out of it. Because we are not doing well with employment. You know, they like to say 3.5%. But many millions of people aren’t working so therefore they don’t count those people. So it’s not 3.5. It’s a much higher number than that ’cause people aren’t working. They’re staying at home. So you can’t compare that 3.5 with my 3.3%. You just can’t compare it. People aren’t working. And they don’t have any intention of working. There’s a lot of bad things going on. So we’ll see how it all works. I’ll make a decision fairly soon. And my… I must tell you — and I think I can say this — in my mind, I’ve already made the decision.
“In my mind, I’ve already made the decision.”
A lot of your voters have, too, Mr. President. But I’d like to share one humble Texan thought with you, sir. If you DON’T run, can you PLEASE make sure we get President Ron DeSantis?
Thanks.
Consider this an OPEN THREAD.
