If there really are 'white hats' and 'patriots in control', than they don't actually need Trump in the White House, he's just a known good alley and a relatively stable variable. If they can use Trump in the white house, they can use others. The odds of only Trump being un-corrupted are vanishingly low. I have no doubt Trump could win if he wanted to, and he would have a decent presidency at worst. But he will be 78 years old in 2024 and 83 when that term runs out.
Bearing this in mind, I've wondered for a while if Trump is just there to be a lightning rod of hate for the cabal, and there will be a candidate we haven't heard of yet running, that the DS will have no ammo for when they appear, that can carry the MAGA legacy. Politically speaking, the 2024 election is an eternity from now. And there is plenty of time for a dark horse candidate to appear.
Yes very interesting discussion.
My opinion is that it's got to be him. For many of the reasons discussed in these comments. But also, I just can't see DJT accepting the request to run in 2015/2016, taking all the years of ungodly abuse, the non-stop slings & arrows at him and his family, unless he gets to go out in an undeniable & triumphant blaze of glory. Winning in a way that unites the vast majority & solidifying his place in history as a savior of humanity, during his lifetime.
