Matt Gaetz Says Trump Is Itching To Run Again But Will Wait Until After Midterms

A new report by Politico says that Donald Trump is building up a 2024 Presidential run apparatus, and his closest allies - including Matt Gaetz - believe that another run is inevitable. Gaetz says that Trump wants a rematch against Biden, but that he won't make any announcements until after next year's midterm elections, which they hope will be a big win for Republicans. Biden has some issues, but not as many as Republicans think. Farron Cousins discusses this and explains why Trump might be in for a worse time than his friends anticipate.

Politico ran a report recently saying that Donald Trump based on conversations

They had with his friends and allies,

Donald Trump is totally running for president again in 2024. But one of these friends happens to be our Congressman here from the first district in Florida,

Matt gates and gates told Politico that sure, Donald Trump wants a rematch,

But he's not going to make any decisions at all until after the 2022 midterms. Here's what gates had to say. Trump sees Biden is on the ropes. He wants to throw punches as a combatant, not a heckler from the stands. The base is rightly loyal to him. And a good rule in politics has to be a candidate for as short, a time as necessary. So as short, a time as necessary, right? Because I guess Matt gates thinks people aren't going to go after Donald Trump. If he's not actually a candidate, in which case I would encourage you, Matt, uh, turn off the Fox news and Newsmax and one America, and look at literally the rest of the media that still continues to go after this guy, because the decisions he made as president are still impacting people's lives today,

But Matt's not going to do that. Matt wants to continue

Feeding these ridiculous lies to Donald Trump, telling him he can, when telling him the base is loyal, the base is growing. The base is out there and energized. They're not Matt and you of all people know that because you're out there with Marjorie Taylor green on your idiotic little cross-country tour, where the two of you are hemorrhaging money. Okay? You're not able to drum up enough Magda support to even break even on your tour. So I don't know what you're saying. When you say the base is loyal to him. Sure. The base is loyal to him, but that base isn't as big as you think. And you know that because you're living it every day out here in the United States, you also are not a complete buffoon because you understand that Donald Trump still has an underwater approval rating. And sure Biden's approval rating may have slipped below 50% for the first time continuously in his administration over the last two or three weeks.

But that could just be a temporary blip. Obviously people are, you know, thinking about Afghanistan right now, but we've already seen the focus shift. We've also already seen the poll shift by the way, huge majority of people in this country support the decision to get out of Afghanistan. They just don't like how it was handled, but a year from now, before we even hit the midterms, which part of that do you think they're going to remember? They're going to remember all the chaos. Sure. Isn't going to matter to them at that point. Nope. What will matter to them? However, is the fact that we got out of the country,

But Matt gates, man, he wants a,

In this administration. I think that's why he wants Donald Trump to run again, possibly even because he thinks maybe Trump will pick him as a running mate. It's pretty clear at this point that if Donald Trump runs again, Mike Pence, ain't the guy like absolutely not going to be the guy. So there is an opening and I think Matt gates wants to get his hands on it, which wouldn't that be a nightmare ticket, right?

Trump gates. Yikes. That already sounds like a scandal,

Not to mention the fact that both of these buffoons that I'm talking about here, Donald Trump and Matt gates might actually both be in prison by the time the 20, 24 presidential election rolls around granted, that's a small possibility, but it's still literally a possibility considering the fact that both of these individuals are currently facing down intense investigations that do threaten to put them behind bars. So, you know, I'm assuming that's also playing a role. Trump can try to talk a big game. His allies can try to cover for him saying, well, he's waiting to feel out the midterms bull crap. He's waiting to make sure he's not in prison for financial crimes in the state of New York, Matt. It's pretty obvious to see through that charade.
