    Trump *might* run again, but this is the much likelier scenario - keep the threat alive to remain newsworthy, keep Republicans afraid of overtly criticizing him.https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1325859022529028099 …

    Some advisers have told me they think Trump will repeatedly tease a 2024 presidential bid during the next couple years as a way to aggravate the left, and as a way to stay in the news--even if he never actually runs. https://twitter.com/jonathanvswan/status/1325856347896819712 …

        I'm sure Mike Pence is psyched about being in the shotgun on the narcissism train for 4 years. He will be there while lawsuits, indictments come flying in.

        Which says a lot about the courage of Republican officeholders. None of it good.

        But it could just as easily backfire on him, if the other Republicans thinking of running in 2024, and their allies, decide the only way to move on from Trump is to overtly criticize him in a way that they haven't before.

        The republicans want to go back to being the Washington Generals so they can lose to the Globetrotters. But the base has learned a valuable lesson about radicalization being far more effective than moderation.

        That's the most plausible theory about Trump's next couple years that I've yet heard.

        The only reason he would do it is to legally accept campaign contributions.

        If he did that, he's cripple the ability of actual Republican candidates to build up the campaign infrastructure and funding they'll need in '24.
