Donald Trump Jr hints he could run for president in 2024

Donald Trump Jr has hinted he could run for president in 2024.

The incumbent US leader’s eldest son posted an Instagram story showing another user mentioning his name in answer to a question about potential Republican candidates in five years’ time.

Mr Trump made no additional comment indicating his opinion, but it follows increasing speculation that he is planning to follow in his father's footsteps by entering US politics.

Hell no

But Relax - God is on it




GOD: "I just told Donald Trump, Jr. that I want him to be President."

ME: "Whaaaaaaaat?"

GOD: "Oh, trust Me, Betty. It's going to be HILARIOUS!"


Bet Ivanka is pissy about it though! Do you think Junior knows you cannot run for President from a prison cell?

Wow, I know we made fun of Dubya for being a pampered daddy's boy who would have gotten nowhere in life without his father, but we truly had no idea. Has this chinless little shitweasel even had a job before?

Eugene V. Debs, early 20th century Socialist candidate for president, ran for president in 1920 while he was in jail.

Elagabalus (/ˌɛləˈɡæbələs/), also known as Heliogabalus (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; c. 204 – 11 March 222), was Roman emperor from 218 to 222. In his early youth he served the god Elagabalus as a priest in Emesa, the hometown of his mother's family.

In 217, the emperor Caracalla was assassinated and replaced by his Praetorian prefect, Marcus Opellius Macrinus. Caracalla's maternal aunt, Julia Maesa, successfully instigated a revolt among the Third Legion to have her eldest grandson (and Caracalla's cousin), Elagabalus, declared emperor in his place. Macrinus was defeated on 8 June 218 at the Battle of Antioch. Elagabalus, barely 14 years old, became emperor, initiating a reign remembered mainly for sex scandals and religious controversy.

Later historians suggest Elagabalus showed a disregard for Roman religious traditions and sexual taboos. He replaced the traditional head of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter, with the deity Elagabalus, of whom he had been high priest. He forced leading members of Rome's government to participate in religious rites celebrating this deity, over which he personally presided. Elagabalus was supposedly "married" as many as five times, lavishing favours on male courtiers popularly thought to have been his lovers,[3][4] and was reported to have prostituted himself in the imperial palace. His behavior estranged the Praetorian Guard, the Senate, and the common people alike. Amidst growing opposition, Elagabalus, just 18 years old, was assassinated and replaced by his cousin Severus Alexander on 11 March 222, who ruled for 13 years before his own assassination, which marked the epoch event for the Crisis of the Third Century. The assassination plot against Elagabalus was devised by his grandmother, Julia Maesa, and carried out by disaffected members of the Praetorian Guard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus


Melanie might just have to get the Praetorian Guard to assassinate him! I guess the SS is the modern day equivalent of the Praetorian Guard.

how it was kind of a letdown, since he had gotten so used to the thrill of campaigning. I guess that's why they continued the rallies (the best part). He also hinted back then how he had really gotten into politics and might run himself.

Right wingers have a dream scenario of Trumps in the White House for 16 years or more. It is not a minor topic. It is persistent and they are absolutely serious.

I realize it sounds preposterous to nominate Trump Jr. but seemingly it is more preposterous for Republicans to shift from Donald Trump back to a more conventional politician.

They thrive in the lies and hate and fear.
