Trump considering announcing 2024 run DURING Biden inauguration

I must admit. I saw this coming. Once it became clear that Donald Trump was seriously considering a 2024 Presidential run I KNEW eventually he'd either seriously consider or decide to make his announcement on Joe Biden's inauguration Day — even during the inauguration itself.
And so it is. The Daily Beast:
According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch. The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden's inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.
…According to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter, the president has privately bragged that he'd still remain in the spotlight, even if Biden is in the Oval Office, in part because the news media will keep regularly covering him since—as Trump has assessed—he gets the news outlets ratings and those same outlets find Biden "boring."
Neither the Trump campaign nor the White House provided comment on this story on Friday.
Why did I (correctly) assume this would be Trump's path?
Because it has been an enduring norm that after an election w new President gets an unfettered spotlight on inauguration day. Even if outgoing Presidents detested their replacements they allreceded during election day. This was one more norm left for Trump to shatter.
But will he get the kind of media cover he hopes?
Call me a cock-eyed optimist, but he makes an announcement during inauguration day or a speech it's hard to imagine any network except for Fox News carrying it. He would no longer be a President, but an ex-President announcing a run for President four years away. Except for Fox News, it's highly unlikely CNN, MSNBC, or any of the broadcast networks will treat a man who lost by such a huge popular and electoral vote margin the same as the Trump of 2015 or even earlier.
On the other hand, he still has the Twilight Zone far-right networks that will cover him like a blanket when he gets out of office.
But the bottom line is this: tinkering with the idea of running for election four years down the road and announcing it during an incoming President's inauguration would be something so petty it has never been seen in American history.
So of course Trump would do it.

There has never been anyone more interested in being president and less interested in actually doing the work of presidenting. https://t.co/uGby4TlOJW — Molly Jong-Fast? (@MollyJongFast) November 28, 2020
A friend in Washington, D.C. told me that Trump is planning to "coordinate" some major announcements of his own on the same days President-elect Biden has major announcements, including inauguration day.
Just disgusting.

I've been saying all along that Trump will file to run in 2024 on inauguration day as to steer the media away from Biden. — M' Kay Resisted & Won (@Mandari25733571) November 23, 2020

I predict that Trump will hold a rally on Biden's inauguration day, or possibly the day after. At this rally he will announce his 2024 election campaign. I also think he will claim afterwards that more people attended his rally than attended Biden's inauguration, and will use doctored photos to make his "point".
In the article someone says they can't believe any news media would cover Trump's event. To the contrary, I think it is a certainty Trump's event would be covered by the media, although perhaps not to the extent as they will cover the inauguration.
Looks like he will spend his spare time propping up this alternate reality that he really won. That will no doubt serve as therapy for his bruised ego. It will further tarnish his legacy, but I am not sure he comprehends that.
Eventually, surely, his funds will dry up. I can't imagine that those who have been funding his lawsuits will also continue to fund these rallies that serve no purpose other than to give him an ego rush.
Don't be so sure about the funds.... Fools and their money remember.
What concerns me is the possibility of Trump monetizing what he has retained from intel briefings, and classified information he has been exposed to over the last four years. Given how much he owes, and that there are companies and entire countries that would pay handsomely to put him on retainer..... All to the detriment of American National Security!
That is what concerns me very much as well, Fly. As vindictive as Trump is I would not put it past him for a millisecond to sell what he knows to Putin. I think that also worries the Military as well, and other areas of the government. Of course, he would then blame Biden, even though Biden would not have had all the Intel and government and military info prior to his winning the election. So that would not really work. However, all that Trump cares about is raising suspicion about Biden any way he can to get revenge.
Lets add in Jared, and all the other Trump spawn that were issued security clearances.... Think any of them would think twice about putting financial expediency over National Security?
His legacy? His legacy is already so tarnished that even his most die-hard supporters can't possibly polish it up. He has already established himself to be such a disgusting piece of fecal matter, has cast so much disgrace on American democracy, that I wouldn't be surprised if he would actually do it. What is even MORE disgusting is that that there are NT members who, judging from what they have been posting already, I believe would WANT him to do it.
Most of wish he would just STFU and go away.
Our efforts needs to be concentrated on resisting and blocking Biden and his far left agenda and searching for reasons to impeach him
Wow Greg, it's like you took out and polished up your talking points from 12 years ago. Nothing new in the spam folder?
And the Republicans showed that you don't actually need a defense to bribery/extortion charges in trying to get a foreign country to get involved with the American democratic election process. REMEMBER, Trump's defense team NEVER denied the charges.
Ego is the only reason he would do this. He can't stand to be out of the spotlight.
