In what has become the news highlight of the year, former President Donald Trump is preparing to resume MAGA rallies, as early as May.
Most Mondays and Tuesdays, Trump skips out on golf to discuss the week ahead with his aids. They decide the republican candidates who will be meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago’s 20,000 square-foot ballroom, and whether they will win his endorsement.
Many speculated about Trump’s first 100 days out of the office, underestimating his commitment to Make America Great Again. A golfer at times, Trump is a man who much prefers plotting the next chapter of his political career to planning his presidential library, getting back on the campaign trail to writing a post-presidential memoir.
After leaving office ex-Presidents often disengage from politics and take their seat by the fireside. Trump is not one of them and has turned his political drive into a full-time job as he contemplates his full return to the spotlight with a potential 2024 presidential bid.
According to CNN, Trump and his advisors have been discussing preparing to restart the Make America Great Again (MAGA) rallies, in the coming months. The rallies will give him the opportunity to come face to face with the millions of avid supporters disheartened and upset over the 2020 election, which many, including Trump himself believe was a clear victory for his second term.
“He didn’t play by the rules as President and he’s certainly not going to as an ex-President,” Newsmax CEO and longtime Trump pal Chris Ruddy said.
Plotting His Return
It’s reported that Trump was convinced by his advisors to turn his full attention to 2022 midterms, where he has immediate interest in taking revenge against the RHINOS who voted to impeach him or dismiss his election fraud claims.
This includes Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who repeatedly rejected Trump’s claims of rampant voter fraud in the state.
Political enemies who include Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski and Maryland’s Gov. Larry Hogan, his speculative GOP primary rival should he decide to run in 2024.
During a recent interview with Dan Bongino, Trump called Hogan a “total loser,” and said he’s given the idea of running again “very serious consideration.”
“This guy, I’ve been watching him, he’s a total loser. He hasn’t been a good governor,” said Trump, adding “I think he wants to run. I think I would give him less than a zero per cent chance, OK?”
Deciding What His Future Holds
Bongino asked about timing to which Trump elaborated, “I think probably the most appropriate time would be right after the ’22 election, that’s my opinion. Could do it sooner, but I think right after the election would be good, especially if you have a good election.”
On life after the White House, Trump added, “It’s a different kind of life, but still very political because of the endorsements. Everyone comes and they all want the endorsement, more than they’ve ever wanted an endorsement. It’s never been an endorsement that’s meant so much, which is an honor to me.”
“It means victory,” he added.
Winning a Third Presidential Election
Trump was very clear during the interview that he won the 2020 election, a sentiment tens of millions of Americans share.
Bongino asked if Trump believed the ‘good vaccine news’ being shared prior to the election, would have swayed the election in his favor to while Trump replied:
“No, I won the election anyway. I ran two elections I won them both, as far as I’m concerned, and we’ll see about a third.”
“One thing I will say” Trump added. “I believe that if the vaccine came out before the election the press would have made a very small deal about it … When it came out two days after the election the press made it like the biggest story ever.”
