Trump is now Joe Biden’s favorite 2024 foe

We live in a golden age of conspiracy theories, most of which should be taken lightly.

The Mossad killed Jeffrey Epstein in his prison cell – where he was left alone for days to contemplate his fate as a child abuser.

Sorry, but AMC shares don’t need help falling.

Over the past weekend, however, some interesting things began to unfold in the run-up to the indictment of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for Donald Trump, our former president who is running for re-election once again: an accusation by a partisan Democratic prosecutor to get Joe Biden to vote. There is a conspiracy to get re-elected in 2024.

Again – I don’t put much weight into conspiracy theories, but it’s something worth noting.

The GOP’s big donors want fresh blood at the top of the ticket.

Trump’s failure in 2020, the failure of most of his elected candidates since then, and his damaging behavior (January 6 and much before and after) turn off most voters except the GOP base.

He thinks everyone – anyone – on the GOP side can beat Sleepy Joe in 2024 except Trump: Can you imagine Biden trying to get out of his mess of the border, the return to Afghanistan , and Ron DeSantis against someone as sharp as “ephemeral inflation”?

Unlike Trump, the Florida governor himself is well aware that he blocked Biden’s path to defeat on the debate stage.

Most smart people in the Democratic Party agree that Biden is weak against anyone except the dude who has been in the news lately.

That’s why a major GOP donor and government-affairs execution on a large financial firm led me to believe “Bragg and the Dems are doing this to win Trump the GOP nomination.”

Rally ‘Round Ron

And he’s not alone, according to other conversations with Republican contributors in recent days. Yes, big money is still trying to rally around DeSantis because they are so desperate to win the presidency in 2024, the House and Senate seats they think they will lose if Trump is the nominee.

But they are looking at the slips as their best shot to win. By last Wednesday, after the spectacle of Trump’s impeachment and Bragg’s own disjointed explanation, his panic had really set in: Base voters began flocking to Trump with donations, and if you believe the polls, their The endorsement is making him the clear front-runner. to enroll.

For the broader electorate: The same polls show weariness with Trump, a desire for fresh blood at the top of both tickets, which is why the Biden people are weaponizing Bragg to make Trump the GOP nominee, donors told me.

Not that Trump cares that he is setting himself and the party up for a big loss in 2024. His nascent presidential run is already a self-centered, score-keeping exercise.

Yes, he looked sad in the courtroom for his arraignment Tuesday, but if you know him, you also know he’s loving the attention it gives DeSantis and other plausible challengers for the foreseeable future. for out of the news cycle.

‘Lose ‘Em Up’ Brag

This may help him secure the nomination, but nothing else.

This is not to say that base voters do not have good reason to be angry. Alvin Bragg is the least credible prosecutor in the country to bring this case.

He’s a decidedly anti-law enforcement, George Soros-backed enthusiast.

He lets criminals roam the streets of Manhattan to terrorize hardworking New Yorkers in the name of “social justice”.

Recall how last year we chronicled the anger of the city’s business community over his policy, which turned a blind eye to his prosecution of violent crimes; Average people working in the financial sector taking the subway were randomly murdered.

Subway crime statistics haven’t gotten much better since thanks to Bragg.

As for the Trump indictment, it’s a dopey case unless your motive is nothing other than justice: only $130,000 in secret money that Trump allegedly paid a porn star years ago to keep quiet, Decades in prison isn’t a crime, much less Bragg’s perjured felony charges.

Again take this conspiracy theory seriously. Of note, there was not much media talk about Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in the days following Bragg’s Trump move.

Trump just likes it.

Ditto for Alvin Bragg and Sleepy Joe Biden.
