After watching the Trump “announcement,” I say this:
He is an evil, extremely dangerous man who threatens our democracy & our future.
Don’t tell me I’m breaching a “civil-military control” protocol. I’m retired now & believe stating this is critically important to our nation.
@markhertling - a few things not in his favor:
1) the youth vote was stronger & more influential in the mid-terms outcome this time around and will be even more in 2024.
2) He is not immune to prosecution for all of deeds currently under investigation, though he thinks announcing now might give him shelter.
3) Media support is weaker this time around. He doesn't have Murdoch's media arms behind him.
4) Support within his family is split. Ivanka is staying clear & away.
