or hopefully not.

Well he has got 6 charges against him and Murdoch ain't supporting him.

I wonder which BBC newscaster is going to be told off for being "gleeful" if he stands down?

Donald Trump has announced his third straight presidential bid, in an extremely rare attempt by a former US leader to recapture the White House after losing an election.

The speech, which clocked in at more than an hour, was largely a mix of boasts about his presidential record and attacks on the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency.

On display were some of Mr Trump's continued strengths. He has an unmatched sense of which issues are important to grass-roots conservatives, such as immigration and crime. His unpredictable and inflammatory style can drive news coverage and deny the spotlight to his competitors. He has a base of loyal supporters and can motivate typically unengaged Americans to vote. And after four years in office, many of those supporters hold positions of authority within the Republican Party.

He is just trying to void imminent indictment, the Feds should have done it 24 hours after GE

I hope he runs, so he can be called a LOSER again.

Although, no doubt he'll claim voter fraud in the Primaries etc.

I think I read that all the candidates he supported in the recent house and senate elections lost.

Not exactly true -

Looking at the House of Representatives, for instance, the former president officially endorsed 174 of the 430 Republican candidates.

Although 159 of Trump's chosen candidates emerged victorious, 149 of them were defending Republican seats.

A truer measure of a candidate's success is the extent to which they managed to increase the share of people voting for the Republican Party compared to the 2020 presidential election.

Looking at the 71% of counties where more than 90% of results have been reported, House candidates backed by Trump managed to increase the Republican vote share by two percentage points.

That's well short of the 7.1 percentage point increase for the party in counties without Trump-endorsed Republicans.

The difference was largest in areas defended by the Democrats. In areas where the local Republican candidate was backed by Trump, the party's vote share fell by 3.6 percentage points. But when the Republican challenger was not endorsed by Trump, the Republican vote share increased by 5.9 percentage points.

He's now the Korbyn of the Republican Party, so I too hope he does run in 2024 and Biden (if he's still breathing by then) wipes the floor with him.

Then Biden keels over and they get their first woman president of Indian (and black) heritage.

oh that will go down well with the racists, an achievement based on "Positive Action" and by default.

Excellent news for the Dems, assuming he gets the nomination, which seems....not forgone.
