Looks Like No Trump 2024
Former President Donald Trump has been teasing since he lost the presidency in 2020 that he would run for reelection in 2024. This has made some of the Republican Party happy, while others are just begging for someone new.
One of the Democratic super PAC's are "filling a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Donald J. Trump of violating campaign finance law by spending political funds on a 2024 presidential bid without formally declaring himself a candidate."
Federal laws do require candidates who raise or spend more than $5,000 in support of a presidential campaign must register with the Federal Election Commission, and I bet Trump has spent more than that.
Many Republicans are worried if Trump is serious about his plan for reelection in 2024. Senator Mitch McConnell and a band of anti-Trump Republicans are maneuvering to thwart the ex-president.
Even though as of right now, Trump is the most powerful person in the Republican Party, it is obvious that his regime is loosening.
What would a reelection for Trump look like thought without any social media involved?
Flashback to 2020, social media companies suspended Donald Trump from using their sites. That means no more Tweets, FaceBook posts, or anything.
Trump used these platforms to reach his fan-base. While some agreed with his posts and saw them 'funny,' a majority saw them as inappropriate.
It has been a little over a year, and Trump has still yet to get access back to these accounts, so what would be a Trump campaign without Twitter?

What is being considered election funds? I am curious as to how he is breaking campaign laws as he has not advertised his 2024 campaign, nor has he announced that he will. He has merely gone on the record saying he would like to; however, no formal processes have begun. Is it possible that this claim has actual merit? He did not explicitly state that he is running for president. He merely insinuated it, which is not illegal. I would be careful to not rule out his election legitimacy just yet.
