Trump 2024 Is Almost Certainly Happening, His Associates Say, And The 2020 Election Will Be Front And Center

With former President Donald Trump publicly flirting with a 2024 presidential run, those close to him believe he’ll end up taking the plunge – and the 2020 election will almost certainly be thrust back into the spotlight.

Trump has been laying the groundwork for a 2024 campaign, hosting rallies across the country reminiscent of his 2016 campaign and announcing a slew of endorsements heading into the midterms. Still, in true Trump style, he’s yet to give a definitive answer on whether he’ll actually run.

For people close to the former president or familiar with his team’s thinking, it seems obvious: Trump is heavily leaning towards running again. The following report is based on interviews with a half-dozen Trump associates – two former Trump administration officials, three people familiar with the president’s thinking and one person familiar with the Trump team’s thinking – speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss privileged conversations.

Trump’s health and how the midterms elections play out are two key factors in a possible 2024 run. Trump’s already given a public nod to the health aspect, telling The Washington Post in April that “you always have to talk about health.”

As for the midterms, Trumpworld believes the overall results – and not necessarily how individual Trump-backed candidates do in the primaries – will play a massive role in whether he’ll run again.

OUTRAGE: Parents Handcuffed, Tased, Pepper-Sprayed While Feds, Cops Did Nothing

A mom of two students at Robb Elementary School says she was handcuffed by [a U.S. Marshal] as the shooter was still inside before she jumped a fence and ran into the school to safely retrieve her children on Tuesday. . .

Gomez told the Journal she decided to charge the school herself as officers waited outside the building “doing nothing.” “They were just standing outside the fence,” she said. “They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”

The mom said she wasn’t the only parent targeted by officers on the scene, which she described as chaos.

She said she saw police tackle a father to the ground and pepper-spray another. Officers tasered a third dad, she said, when he approached a school bus with students on it to collect his child.

“They didn’t do that to the shooter, but they did that to us,” Gomez told the Journal, referring to herself and other parents. “That’s how it felt.” (Read more from “Outrage: Parents Handcuffed, Tased, Pepper-Sprayed While Feds, Cops Did Nothing” HERE)

Business Associate of Dead Clinton Advisor Claims Foul Play

An independent outside agency should investigate the bizarre suicide of Bill Clinton’s former presidential advisor linked to billionaire perv Jeffrey Epstein, the dead man’s former business associate exclusively tells Radar.

Mark Middleton, 59, was suspiciously found May 7th dangling from a tree with a shotgun blast hole through his chest and a cheap Dollar Store-type extension cord around his neck. The hell-bent businessman created his own makeshift gallows by trespassing onto a farm with a table.

The terrified business associate, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of dying, tells RadarOnline.com the Little Rock father of two was close to the former Commander-in-Cheat – having an integral role in founding the Clinton Presidential Library and the Clinton Birthplace Foundation.

“Everyone that I know here, that has worked with Mark, knows it is physically impossible for Mark to have killed himself,” the source tells RadarOnline.com.

“He could not physically hold a shotgun and done that to himself,” the source added. “He knows nothing about guns! He hated guns; he couldn’t have tied a noose to save his life! The man couldn’t change a light bulb by himself. He was the least physically skilled person I have ever met in my life. He was very smart, great with paperwork, legalities, and all of that but he couldn’t physically take care of himself.” (Read more from “Business Associate of Dead Clinton Advisor Claims Foul Play” HERE)

Texas School Shooter Salvador Ramos Once Cut Up His Face With Knives ‘Just for Fun,’ Friends Say

The gunman who slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school reportedly exhibited increasingly bizarre behavior leading up to the rampage – including cutting up his face with knives just “for fun,” friends said.

Gunman Salvador Ramos’ friend Santos Valdez Jr., 18, said the two had been close, playing video games and basketball regularly, until his friend’s behavior began to “deteriorate,” the Washington Post reported.

“Then he told me the truth, that he’d cut up his face with knives over and over and over,” Valdez told the newspaper. . .

Childhood friend Stephen Garcia told the paper that Ramos “would get bullied hard, like bullied by a lot of people. Over social media, over gaming, over everything.

“He was the nicest kid, the most shiest kid. He just needed to break out of his shell,” he said, adding that Ramos was once subjected to homophobic slurs after posting a photo of himself wearing black eyeliner.

Hero Border Agent’s Cap Shows How Close He Was to Being Killed by Salvador Ramos

A bullet fired by Texas mass shooter Salvador Ramos ripped through the cap of the hero Customs and Border Protection agent who killed him – and left a gruesome wound on his scalp, shocking images show.

The agent — a member of the CBP’s elite Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC — was wearing the cap when he rushed into Robb Elementary School amid the rampage, Fox News reported.

A photo obtained by the outlet shows a long rip along the mesh section atop the black-and-white cap he was wearing as the bullet grazed his head.

A separate, graphic image obtained by the Washington Examiner reveals five staples holding both sides of the bloody gash — showing he was a hair’s breadth away from losing his life.

The officer had exchanged rounds with Ramos, who was barricaded inside a fourth-grade classroom, but the agent managed to kill the gunman before he could commit more carnage.

Biden Approval Falls Below Every Modern President

President Joe Biden finally did it. The lackluster leader’s approval rating has fallen below every president of the modern era at this stage of their term.

Citing approval polling dating back to Harry S. Truman in 1945, FiveThirtyEight said that no president has been below, or even equal to, Biden’s average of 40.9% on Day 490 of their presidency.

Former Presidents Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Gerald Ford had lower average approval ratings at some stage early in their presidencies, but Biden has caught up, and today’s average was the first for which he was below all presidents since Truman, a potentially troubling trend as Democrats ready for the midterm elections.

Also today, Reuters pollster Ipsos pegged Biden’s approval rating at just 36%, his worst yet. (Read more from “Biden Approval Falls Below Every Modern President” HERE)

Barack Obama Uses Texas Shooting to Memorialize George Floyd

Former President Barack Obama used the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, to memorialize the death of George Floyd, even though the two tragedies have almost no relation.

Indeed, Wednesday, May 25, marks the two-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, but instead of just commemorating the day on its own, the former president tied the horrific massacre in Texas, which left 19 children and two teachers dead, to Floyd’s memory.

“As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer,” the former president tweeted. “His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.”

“In the aftermath of his murder, a new generation of activists rose up to channel their anguish into organized action, launching a movement to raise awareness of systemic racism and the need for criminal justice and police reform,” he added.

While few, except maybe the pro-Chauvin hardliners, would begrudge anyone for commemorating George Floyd on the anniversary of his death, the former president’s decision to tie it in with a current and raw national tragedy sparked significant backlash.
