There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will win in 2024; not because he doesn't have the votes, but because he cannot be allowed to. He would leave the WHO this time (rather than simply refusing to pay for it, as he did previously), he would repudiate the Paris Climate Accords (again) and demolish Net Zero policies by encouraging energy independence. He might even leave NATO. He would foster good relations in the Middle East, instead of promoting sectarianism and instability and overseas adventurism would be kept to a bare minimum.
One would hope that the enforced interregnum might also have enabled him to address some of his blind spots around personnel and the 'pandemic'. The one absolutely certainty is that the Great Reset train would be derailed but, to the globalists, Schwab's dystopian fantasy is their number one priority. So, they won't let Trump sweep through the Augean Stables. They simply can't. It's not as if they lack the tools for the job. They are going to use absolutely everything they have to prevent the 45th President from becoming the 47th. And I do mean everything.
The first line of defense is within the realms of lawfare, a favorite Leftist indulgence. To that end, Trump is currently mired in four separate criminal cases. All of them (plus a fraud case) are a joke, some more so than others. First out of the blocks was Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA whose contributions to society include supporting cashless bail and downgrading felony charges to misdemeanors. However, in Trump's case, he's going in the opposite direction. With a swish of his wand he has somehow welded a 34 count federal indictment together, despite the fact that federal indictments are beyond his remit. The 'novel legal theory' that he is reliant upon (and which he himself has invented) turns the law on its head. Briefly, Trump paid Stormy Daniels hush money. Somehow or other, Bragg has decided that this was a criminal offence.
“The idea that a routine private settlement, unconnected to any campaign activity, is a criminal offense because the settlement should have been paid with official campaign funds is the most preposterous, ludicrous, idiotic, indefensible, fraudulent “legal theory” conceivable. Under this “theory,” candidates must use federal campaign funds for private, personal or corporate matters—an exact inversion of federal law.”(1)
Risible in the extreme, but when you've campaigned on a 'Get Trump' ticket (which he did), perhaps you feel that you really have to fulfill your promise, despite the fact that the previous DA declined to file the case a year prior.(2) And George Soros will no doubt expect his pound of flesh, also.(3) The standard of the American justice system is, regrettably, abysmally low. Partisanship, particularly of the Leftist variety, is no longer regarded as toxic and shameful – the oath to administer justice without fear or favor is meaningless. So Bragg just does what he wants because there is no downside.
This bias and corruption is further demonstrated when one examines the two cases brought against Trump by a Department of Justice special counsel named Jack Smith. Smith was formerly involved in targeting conservative non-profits.(4) With the help of a corrupt court, he also obtained a conviction against a conservative Governor on bogus corruption charges. His misconduct was so profound that the Supreme Court reversed the decision by a 9-0 margin, meaning that even the activist Democrats on SCOTUS couldn't bring themselves to support him.(5) His wife donated to Biden (6) and assisted in the production of a documentary for Michelle Obama. But, instead of practicing law as a Leftist defense attorney, he is a point man at the 'non-partisan' DoJ.
This is the man who has indicted Trump for the 'classified documents' case. I intended to give chapter and verse on this and the other cases, but I realize that there is very little point in getting into the weeds, because the details don't really matter when the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Suffice to say that the documents case is the one that has the best odds for a Trump acquittal, simply because the case is being held in the free state of Florida and the judge appears to be unimpressed by the quality of the prosecution case.
Which is not entirely surprising because there isn't one. Trump had authority to declassify documents as President; he also had authority to store them. In this case, his choice was somewhat limited. The National Archives (NARA) is supposed to obtain a facility in a former President's home town but, because it's Trump, they haven't. This is how sensitive those documents were felt to be upon Trump's ouster in January 2021. That's the White House car park.
Figure 1
Obama has a facility in Chicago, Bush has one in Louisville, Texas and Clinton has one in Little Rock, Arkansas. There is no reason why Trump should be treated differently, but he is nonetheless. The shenanigans don't stop there:
“The NARA refused to assist in the collection of the Trump records for national archive holding and review, and then the NARA triggered a sequence of events that led to the DOJ using a reference from the NARA, to weaponize a process they refused to engage in. The NARA refused to do their specialized bureaucratic job, and then the NARA used what they defined as an incomplete job as a reason to refer the outcome to the DOJ.”(7)
At present, the trial judge has allowed the DoJ to define what document constitutes a national security threat and what doesn't and they have even been allowed to get away with not revealing which documents pass that test (in their opinion) and which don't.(8) However, the courts have explicitly stated that it is the President who has plenary power, not the DoJ.(9)(10)(11) It is apparent that this case, as well as being a transparent attempt to get Trump, is also an attempt to maintain the primacy of the administrative state over the office of President, despite case law confirming that the relationship is the exact opposite. It is so weak that it shouldn't even reach trial – but it almost certainly will, possibly in mid 2024.
Smith is also the prosecutor in the second DoJ indictment, this one aimed at preventing Trump from exercising his rights under the First Amendment. It relates specifically to his attempts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. In the first instance, Trump had the legal authority and duty to do exactly that. As the President, he is the ultimate representative of the people. If he believed that the people were being cheated out of the correct result (and he did, along with millions of others and with good reason), then not challenging the result would have been a dereliction of duty. This distinction has not been lost on his lawyers who have attempted to get the case dismissed, thusfar without success:
“Breaking 234 years of precedent, the incumbent administration has charged President Trump for acts that lie not just within the ‘outer perimeter,’ but at the heart of his official responsibilities as President. In doing so, the prosecution does not, and cannot, argue that President Trump’s efforts to ensure election integrity, and to advocate for the same, were outside the scope of his duties.”(12)
Further, the Democrats challenged the results of the 1968, 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections, but those challenges don't constitute an offence because they are Leftists and therefore exempted from the rules that govern the conduct of everybody else.(13)
One of the four indictments is for conspiracy to defraud the United States. One of the many flaws with the case is that it is founded on the assertion that Trump knowingly spread lies about the outcome of the election, which places the onus on the prosecution's ability to prove that Trump secretly knew that he had lost a genuine contest, but pretended otherwise in public while actively seeking to overturn the result. This narrative is a non-starter – if there's one thing that Trump seems to believe most fervently it is that the election was stolen. How the prosecution plans to prove otherwise is a mystery.
And, as with the documents case, there is a wider issue at stake:
"In order to secure convictions for this, Special Counsel Jack Smith would need to bulldoze through not just the First Amendment but also existing case law holding that even false statements are protected...There is no limiting principle to this indictment. The government would choose between which politicians are lying and which are lying without cause."(14)
What proto-totalitarian cabal wouldn't like the sound of that? Ordinarily, given that there is existing case law which directly undermines the entire basis of the case, an indictment would never have been brought. But, as ever, this is Trump, so the normal rules and constraints are deemed inapplicable. On its face, this is another case that shouldn't make it to trial, but most definitely will. Not only that, but the trial will almost certainly result in a conviction because the deck is stacked against the former President. Not only is the trial scheduled for a courthouse in Washington DC (a rabidly Leftist hellhole which voted 93% Democrat in 2020), but the judge is Obama appointed. And she is a real piece of work.
Judge Tanya Chutkin is the granddaughter of a Jamaican Communist revolutionary.(15) She is not apolitical herself, despite the Code of Conduct for United States Judges requiring her to be even-handed and lacking in bias.(16) She is the DC judge with the most animus against January 6th defendants, routinely sentencing them to prison terms that are even longer that those demanded by the prosecution.(17) In her view, the rioting in 2020 – which cost numerous lives and caused $2 billion of damage were merely “...people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights...” and that it was a false equivalence to compare them to the Capitol protesters/rioters who were “...trying to overthrow the government.”(18) A statement that is morally bankrupt when she is clearly aware that not one of the January 6th indictments was for insurrection.
Unsurprisingly, she doesn't like Trump. During sentencing for one January 6th defendant, in the midst of an habitual chiding, she bemoaned the fact that Trump remained a free man.(19) She has displayed open bias already in the Trump case itself. Court rules allow 14 days for parties to respond to the opposing team's motions and judges usually allow at least a week. She recently gave Trump's team a single day in which to respond to a prosecution motion. She has scheduled the trial to start the day before Super Tuesday, when 15 states will be holding their primary elections. It would be difficult to pick a date that interfered more with Trump's primary campaign, which must surely be the reason she chose it. Trump's team has also been deluged with 12.8 million pages of discovery.(20)
Chutkan also felt it appropriate to get a head start on curbing Trump's First Amendment rights by instituting a gag order that prohibited the 2024 candidate from criticizing Smith or his team; no weight was to be given to the truthfulness or otherwise of any Trump complaint.(21) Even for Far Leftists, this was a step too far and she was forced to issue a temporary pause on October 20th.(22) She naturally doubled down nine days later and reinstated the order, thus forcing a three judge DC Appeals Court (all Democrats) to finally freeze the order pending Trump's appeal.(23) In a sane world, she would never have been appointed to a judgeship, never mind chosen as the 'random' judge to hear a case involving Trump. Even in the midst of today's insanity, she should recuse herself. But she won't.
It looks like the plan is to provide the GOP with an excuse to nominate A N Other. If Trump evades conviction in Chutkan's court, it'll be a latter-day miracle. There is every likelihood that the guilty decision will be overturned on appeal, if not by the DC Court of Appeals, then by SCOTUS but by then it may well be too late. Smith's reputation stands on brutalizing political opponents, not on whether his convictions stick or whether he is subsequently overturned. It has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with Leftist political tactics. But the two ideologues in DC are being given a run for their money by the conduct of the prosecutor in the Georgia case and the judge in Trump's fraud trial in New York.
In Fulton County, Georgia the District Attorney – one Fani Willis – has indicted President Trump and others amongst his lawyers and supporters of RICO (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act) violations; 161 of them, 41 of them against Trump himself. These acts included tweets and texts between 'conspirators' who sought to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia. I kid you not.
It should be noted that Fulton County was one of the epicenters of fraud in the election. The entire panoply of Leftist shenanigans were deployed and, when a limited hand count audit was undertaken (the allegedly Republic SOS Raffensberger proved adept at preventing any comprehensive attempts at an audit), the error reporting rate was 60%, always in favor of Biden.(24) Among the other highlights; 138,221 people who had moved out of state, voted. Biden 'won' the state by 11,779 votes.
Indeed, a case highlighting the fact that anyone with physical access to a voting machine could alter the vote totals on that machine (and that anyone with access to the election management system could alter the vote totals on any and all machines) will soon go to trial, because the sitting judge has decided that it has sufficient merit to do so.(25) While the precise magnitude of the fraud was not apparent by the time Trump left office, that there had been a copious amount was obvious.
Ordinarily, one might assume that giving Trump the opportunity to air evidence of voter fraud in court would be a mistake. Not only would it substantiate Trump's claims, it would also cast a considerable pall over all the results in the swing states (and elsewhere), as the practices that would be revealed in Georgia could also be shown to have been perpetrated across many states. Somehow, I doubt that this will be allowed. It's certainly not the plan. I would expect all manner of defense disclosures to be ruled inadmissible.
Willis is another extremist. Her father, John Floyd III, lived with Angela Davis for a spell when Willis was young.(26) Davis is a famous American Marxist revolutionary and Floyd was a founder of the Black Panthers.(27) He frequently took Willis along to his militant work and they apparently speak about ten times a day. Trump can expect to be highly disfavored, a fact that should not surprise given the trajectory of Georgia's justice so far. Some of the former President's co-conspirators are the lawyers that were advising him at the back end of 2020.
“By naming as alleged co-conspirators the lawyers who were representing Trump and providing him with advice and counsel in the legal actions that were in the state and before legislators during public hearings and in private conversations, Willis is also attacking the fundamental way that our justice system works, in which lawyers are tasked with vigorously pursuing the interests of their clients.
Under the crazy legal theories being pushed in her [Willis'] indictment, every lawyer in Georgia who represents a defendant and makes statements that turn out to be wrong or legal arguments that are ultimately rejected could be accused of conspiring with his or her client to commit a crime.
In other words, they could be charged with a crime for doing what the professional code of conduct tells the lawyer he is supposed to do; namely, represent the interests of his client to the best of his abilities.”(28)
Willis' hubris, like Bragg's, is unconfined. Her jurisdiction is supposedly limited to Fulton County and yet she has charged a state-wide criminal enterprise and, further, referenced racketeering activity in other states too. But, then again, it's Trump once more and there is a separate ends-justify-the-means judicial system that regulates him alone. Thus, all the acts that she lists as indictments are perfectly legal actions that violate no laws and which are fully protected under the First Amendment. The Empress has no clothes, but the legal community in Georgia seems unwilling to notice.
Georgia has also charged 16 'fake' (alternate) electors with state crimes. These are electors that were willing to act as alternates at the Electoral College if the Georgia election result was either overturned or declared null and void.(29) Once again, a course of conduct that is not without precedent, that is within the Constitution and which is a tactic that the Democrats themselves would have deployed had they not been able to cheat enough to win outright.(30) Michigan has done likewise and Nevada look like following suit.(31)(32) The Left likes to intimidate those around Trump, as well as the man himself – just to send a message. Help Trump and we'll target you, too.
Ultimately, the Georgia indictment may simply be a back-up (the trial date could be in August 2024), if all else fails. I appreciate that such a statement infers that there is some co-ordination involved. There certainly seems to be, at least between Smith's team and the White House and also between DC and Willis.(33) One of Smith's aides has met with White House officials on numerous occasions, dating back months.(34) Such collusion and partisanship is now par for the course. It would be more surprising to learn that it wasn't happening.
The US has reached the point at which it is possible to charge political opponents with obvious non-crimes and constitutionally protected activities and get away with it. Even the outrage on the political Right is somewhat muted, worn down by the repetitiveness of the abuse and the impotence of the victims. Hopes are invested in appellate courts (well, one appellate court), ignoring the fact that such hearings could take place years in the future. All are obliged to go through another version of the Great Pretending simply in order to retain a modicum of sanity. The ludicrous spectacle of Trump lawyers taking plea deals in court for the crime of dispensing legal advice is barely commented upon; the normalization of corruption is almost complete.
And no-one embodies that particular quality (if one can refer to corruption as a quality) quite like the last figures in our rogues gallery of Trump haters – the current Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, and Judge Arthur Engoron. James is infamous for her Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), calling him an “illegitimate President” and an “embarrassment”.(35) She was open about her intention to pursue Trump, the very antithesis of the role of a AG which ought to preclude political partisanship, but never does for Leftists.
She filed civil suit against Trump, his sons and the Trump Organisation, alleging a decades log scheme to defraud lenders by inflating Trump's net worth (not a criminal case, which would require proof beyond a reasonable doubt rather than a simple preponderance of the evidence). However, the case is victimless. No lenders were defrauded, all the loans were repaid. Furthermore, whatever valuations are provided by a client is superseded by their own valuation. The 'evidence' is allegedly being provided by Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, a man who has already done jail time for lying to Congress (albeit as part of the usual witch hunt that also snared other Trump associates on spurious charges).(36) But that hasn't stopped James seeking $250 million in 'damages' and the disqualification of Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York.
Furthermore, most of the alleged inflation of Trump's worth occurred in the field of real-estate valuations, an ever-shifting and subjective area. Mar-a-Lago, Trump's home in Florida was valued by him at between $425 million and $612 million, for instance. The pre-eminent realtor in the area reckons that is a conservative estimate – he thinks the property is currently worth $1.51 billion. Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin has a 25 acre estate just down the road which cost $450 million to acquire, which is currently minus living accommodation, which will cost between $150 million to $400 million to complete.(37)Enter Judge Engoron, yet another TDS sufferer. The actual value of the property is unclear, but he thinks otherwise.
He seems to believe that the valuation should be $18-28 million. Mar-a-Lago is a 62,500 square foot mansion sitting on 20 acres, right on the shore. Other houses in the 5,000 to 11,500 square feet range, with a much smaller footprint and further inland are currently listed at up to $40 million.(38) Engoron (with the active assistance of his law clerk) has ridden roughshod over Trump's lawyers and the law itself. Trump won an appellate ruling – Engoron simply ignored it. He also decided (minus a jury), before the trial started, that Trump had defrauded companies who made millions in interest payments and who still do business with the former President to this day.(39) The trial is simply a charade, designed to determine how much of the $250 million Trump has to pay. You can't make it up, sometimes.
But the saga would not be complete without yet another attempt to silence Orange Man Bad – another gag order, necessary to spare the Judge's hurty feelings and those of his clerk. Once in force, he expanded it to include Trump's lawyers, who appear to be doing a solid job of calling him out.(40) He then fined Trump (twice) for violating the order, before an appeal court ordered a stay. Gag orders are mostly used in criminal jury trials; Trump's is a civil case, sans jury.(41) I would say the chances of Engoron's verdict surviving an appeal (eventually) are vanishingly small. His bias is incompetently executed, as well as blatantly obvious. But for now, Trump is being harassed and bled millions in legal fees, so the short-term mission is being accomplished
Other Hail Mary tactics are also being deployed; notably, the attempt to disqualify Trump from the Republican nomination is gathering pace. If successful it would, at worst, provide the necessary legal cover to the twenty Democrat Secretaries of State to prevent Trump from receiving votes. Depending on timing, Trump would then be obliged to fight twenty different court cases if he wished to reverse decisions. I imagine that it would only take a handful of Leftist partisan judges to gum up the works and slow walk the appeal, et voilà! The election will have come and gone and he would have been effectively neutered by only being on the ballot in a plurality of states, not all of them.
In Arizona, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wyoming, Minnesota and Colorado these rumblings have manifested themselves as either a lawsuit or a challenge to the relevant Secretary of State. So far, the barricades are holding, but that doesn't mean that they will continue to do so. It's an obvious quick and easy way of reaching Democrat Valhalla and, that being so, it will be exhaustively explored.
The essence of the challenge is that Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids any person who has engaged in an insurrection from holding office. The allegation is that Trump did so on January 6th 2021. This, despite being found not guilty in the impeachment proceeding that followed the Capitol protest-cum-riot and despite not being indicted for that offence, either. And also despite the fact that Trump was the sitting President on 6th January and could hardly launch an insurrection against himself.
Progressives and RINOs, wallowing in TDS, are pretending that there is still a question to be decided when there plainly isn't. Further, the Amendment itself was introduced in the wake of the Civil War and was intended to disbar Confederate officials from state and federal office, an intention that was made explicit by the passage of a further bill subsequently passed by Congress which contained the following words:
“...all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of amendments of the Constitution of the United States are hereby removed from all persons whomsoever, except Senators and Representatives of the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh Congresses, officers in the judicial, military, and naval service of the United States, heads of departments, and foreign ministers of the United States.”(42)
But, this is Trump we're talking about and justice in the US is woefully two-tiered, so I imagine that the ins and outs will be debated for a while yet, in an attempt to see whether the cabal can still leverage the Amendment to its advantage. It's tried many times before, with other targets of choice, and never once succeeded (with one notable exception in New Mexico, which only remains intact because it wasn't appealed),(43) but these people always double down – they know no other way. However, in the absence of any indictment for insurrection, the argument for disqualification constitutes extremely thin gruel.
There are other ways to stop Trump, some of which fall to the Republican Party itself. They've already set the wheels in motion in Massachusetts and California by ditching the winner-takes-all primary delegate system, switching to a proportional system,(44)(45) an obvious attempt to undermine the former President. Although time is now tight, I wouldn't rule out further similar shenanigans elsewhere.
The GOP could rely on the voter fraud machinery under Democrat control and use it to cheat Trump out of primary victory, although that would be the biggest possible middle finger to its base, as Orange Man Bad is currently over 50% ahead of his nearest challenger.(46) Or the Republican Party could simply not nominate him at its convention, especially if Trump has been convicted by then. The convention is from July 15th to July 18th – the original trial date for the Mar-a-Lago documents case was May 20th, although that has now been put on hold.(47)
At present, Chutkan's DC trial will commence on March 4th,(48) which has stymied Bragg's own March date. The race may be on to get Trump before the convention; make no mistake – the GOP would like nothing more than an excuse to nominate DeSantis. The fact that this course of action would result in a large swathe of Republican voters deserting the party would still be a price worth paying for the establishment RINOs. Or, if the trials are still ongoing, they may make Trump's nomination conditional on him not being convicted.
As previously mentioned, the defenses are multi-layered. If they can't get him in court then there are other ways to poison the well. Resistance will be encountered at every stage of his campaign. If he manages to stay out of jail then the plan is to deny him the nomination by any means possible and to hell with the voters. If that proves to be impossible, they will attempt to steal the election either by keeping him off the ballot in enough states to make the difference, or by other means (for the third election in a row – possibly fourth) that the Republican Party knows about, but will not expose.
If his numbers prove to be insurmountable and he wins despite their best efforts, they will manufacture a constitutional crisis of some kind and imperil his inauguration. If that turns into another disaster for the Blue Team, they will attempt to impeach him as soon as he takes office. That would mean winning the House, of course, which would also be deeply implausible. That's if there actually are elections. And if Trump is still alive in a year's time; the ultimate sanction is an option for the cabal, after all. Many inconvenient problems have been eliminated with extreme prejudice, a disproportionate number of them either by a heart attack (in previously healthy people) or via a plane crash which, in normal circumstances, is an extremely rare event, but less so if you're a danger to Deep State.
There will almost certainly be more political violence, possibly on an even larger scale than in 2020. The Left will have no compunction about fostering it, nor will they feel any remorse about any action they take to obstruct Trump. The means always justifies the end and if The Donald is a latter day Hitler (which he is to them), they are obliged to resist via any means, fair or foul. The 51st state of Ukraine has already shown the way – declare martial law and postpone (cancel) the elections. If the cabal has to, it will.
“The network of the left in America has become well accustomed to civil strife as a Plan B in case it loses elections, and the great mass of ordinary Americans need to understand that. We live now under the near-constant threat that there will be a swift resort to violence when and if they lose.
It is nearly memory-holed now, but in the days leading up to Election Day 2020, major American cities were boarding up their downtowns because a nationwide insurrection was expected if Trump won. Similarly, if Trump wins again, in 2024 — and you can’t count it out — everyone expects a return to that sad state of affairs. This isn’t the right provoking anything; it is the left, and a full expression of its nature. We should do it the respect of paying attention, and believing actions as much as words.”(49)
They are doing their utmost to roil the waters in the Middle East which, in turn, creates huge upheavals and division at home. Just this week, Democrats were responsible for freeing up another $10 billion for Iran, while voting down $14.3 billion in aid for Israel.(50) Releasing funds for Hamas' sponsors, while denying money to their ally. That's how the Left rolls, no matter what they say. They don't rein in the IDF, not because they don't don't want to, but because the Israeli war cabinet won't listen to them.
Add to the mix the huge numbers of military aged men of unknown provenance who have evaded capture at the southern border (plus the millions that didn't bother to conceal their passage and who have been released into communities all over America) and the potential for chaos is readily apparent. Which is clearly by design, as Biden and his handlers actively encouraged the flood of illegal immigrants the minute he got the keys to the Oval Office.
The fact that large numbers of Americans are not buying anything that the cabal is selling matters not. As long as the Left (and their RINO enablers) can keep getting away with it, they will keep doing whatever it is that they think will get them the win. There are no limits to what they will do. They got away with Covid, they got away with rampant corruption in the elections of 2020 and 2022, so why would they stop now? They know that, this time, there will be no mercy for them if they allow Trump to win.
If I was a betting man, I would expect events to proceed as follows. There doesn't seem to be any way of preventing Trump from taking part in the Republican primaries, as the Fourteenth Amendment shtick just isn't working. That being the case, he will win. There is a limit to the scope of potential GOP gerrymandering; they can make the contest look closer than it is by changing the rules, but Trump is so far ahead that they cannot plausibly (or even implausibly) cheat him of victory.
However, the nomination isn't his until the GOP convention and the chances are that the first criminal case to be tried (featuring the double act of Smith and Chutkan) will result in a custom-fitted, DC special – a guilty verdict, prior to the convention. DeSantis – still puzzlingly in the race, despite hemorrhaging support and polling at less than 10% - is (or was, in any event) the Big Club, establishment GOP lapdog. If he lasts the primary course and finishes second to Trump, the RINO play is obvious. Insist that Trump cannot win now that he is a convicted felon, or that the rules no longer allow him to run (not true – he could run from a jail cell if he had to) and nominate DeSantis.
The former President will naturally appeal any conviction and will, presumably, be a free man while that process unfolds. Perhaps he can sue the Republican Party in an effort to overturn their decision, but the courts are demonstrably no friend to him and time would be short. There is an alternative option available to him; whether he'd take it or punt, I know not.
He could run anyway as an Independent. As it stands, RFK Junior is doing likewise, for reasons that would mirror Trump's. That might result in a four way race – Biden (or Michelle Obama or Newsom), DeSantis, Trump and Kennedy. Two establish candidates and two spoilers. Quite how any one of them achieves an Electoral College majority is beyond my ken, especially as the Democrat machine will be destroying Trump ballots and swapping votes by the bucket load. For those who doubt their ability to do so, I direct you to the November 2023 Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice election, during which 386,151 in-person votes were removed from the total of the Republican candidate (in real time, on the State Department website)(51) - she lost by 200,000 votes. The fraud is blatant and ubiquitous.
Trump only has one remaining shot at the presidency and that's next year. He will be 82 come the 2028 election and it doesn't seem likely that he will still be in play by then. He has to win four criminal trials; the cabal only has to win one. That any conviction will likely be overturned by SCOTUS is cold comfort, because they just need to exclude him from the game for four months – between July and November 2024. If he's not the Republican nominee, he would appear to be toast no matter how many people vote for him as an Independent.
A majority would be beyond him, as it was in 2020, because the ways in which the Democrats cheat have not been closed off. And that's assuming that paper ballots – even fraudulent ones – matter any more, because if a subsequent audit can be resisted, they can simply swap votes electronically à la Pennsylvania, with impunity.
The 45th President is an existential threat to the Deep State, globalist cabal that rules over us; not just in America, but across the Collective West. He will knock down what they have spent the past four years constructing. I cannot see any circumstance in which they can countenance that outcome. The authoritarian shift was supposed to have commenced under Hillary, but they underestimated Trump's threat in 2016 and crash and burned.
Now that the 'pandemic' has given them the excuse to vastly expand mail-in voting, they have the means to ensure that they don't lose again – that's if the game is still afoot come November 2024. However this goes, they'll stop him somehow. They must. Plus, they absolutely hate him. TDS is an epidemic in progressive circles, as anybody who has the temerity to refuse to bend the knee and instead calls them out is always hated. They'd love him bankrupt and in jail or, at the very least, having to spend the rest of his life trying to avoid that outcome.
