Donald Trump himself was seen as ‘low key’…..
ABC, NBC, CBS did not show the roll out….
Fox and CNN didn’t even stick with the whole thing ….
The ‘thrill’ is gone…..
A good amount of ‘his’ party people didn’t want this….
His daughter says she’s done with politics …..
Donald Trump 2022 is a bruised ex-President, under investigation by the Fed’s and several states….
His crying about his 2020 loss gets no traction…..
Even some in his base admit they like the guy…
But have grown tired of his antics…
He makes a run announcement against new polls that point to Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis AHEAD of him in polls for several states….
President Biden beats him in the polls also right now….
Yes….
Donald Trump is a mere Big Assed shell of the man he WAS….
I know there will talks about 2016 and how the old Real Estate hustling guy did a hostile takeover of the Grand ole Party and won them and them beat a Clinton for the Presidency….
But?
Trump IS consistent….
Just about everything he touches ?….’Turns to SHIT’….
The Presidency was NO exception….
He now has to run against THAT also….
I’m in the camp of those who feel that Trump is running principally to keep ahead of the law….
His ego and a effort to post another ‘win’ probably comes in a distance second….
I make this statement here….
Donald J. Trump will NOT be President of the United States again….
The American people, Law and Political system just won’t allow it…..
Advisers knew former President Trump, bleeding support among Republicans for his wild antics over the past week, needed a reset during last night’s 2024 announcement. So the text was deliberately low-key.
The big picture: Trump’s delivery was so restrained, even languid, that it was widely derided as “low energy” — Trump’s devastating jab at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush during the 2016 primaries.
- The tightly scripted, staff-driven speech reflected Trump’s weakened position post-midterms. None of the cocky swagger and energy of his 2016 announcement.
This was a nostalgic, glory-days speech — Trump playing the hits.
- He painted an apocalyptic picture of American decline under President Biden.
- But Trump has done this schtick so many times before that he seemed bored by the text.
- It’s not unusual for him to be bored by the words in his teleprompter. But his tone was flatter than usual. Even his ad-libs were low energy.
Behind the scenes: Trump advisers had pushed for the more disciplined approach after Trump found himself on the defensive after Republican midterm losses.
- That prompted him to lash out with unhinged attacks on potential 2024 rivals, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin….
Note….
Democrats HAVE TO be smiling with Trump’s effort’s run again and rip the ass out of the Grand ole Party….
