From the "Just made up news" files: Trump Campaign Slams Report He’s Planning To Announce 2024 Run On Biden’s Inauguration Day

In response to a report claiming President Trump is planning to announce a 2024 run for the White House on Jan. 20, 2021 — which just happens to be Inauguration Day — a lawyer representing the Trump campaign and the president said the claim is more “fake news” designed to feed the narrative that he’s “given up the fight for election integrity.”
...
Jenna Ellis, Trump 2020 senior legal adviser and attorney to President Trump, said the Daily Beast’s report is “completely false.” “Fake news media continues to frame the fake news narrative that President Trump has given up the fight for election integrity,” Ellis told The Daily Wire in a statement Sunday. “This is completely false. I speak with the President daily and he is focused on saving our great Republic now, not four years from now.”​

Trump sounds a bit touchy about this...

Nah. He's just being Trump.

He blasts the media every single time they get something wrong ... which is usually multiple times a day.

Naughty beast. Back in your cage.

Exactly!

I don't think Trump will run in 2024 and I don't think he is seriously considering it. It's too much work. For now it's just part of the ongoing grift.

True.

He blasts the media every single time they get something wrong

But even more so when they get it right...which is most of the time.

... which is usually multiple times a day.

which is why they issue corrections and admit mistakes...something I don't think I've ever heard from the Trump administration all those times he/they've been wrong.

He’s also shocked that there’s gambling going on in Casablanca!

Ever notice that he’s twice as loud and quick when the story is true!?

Like Russiagate was true? Not.

 

[tulc]

Like Russiagate was true? Not.

It did get him an extra foot note in the history books: right between "one term President, that lost the popular vote (twice)", and just before "was President during the coronavirus pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans" with "was one of only 3 sitting President to be indicted".
tulc(so there's that as well)

It may be hard to run for office from a NY prison cell/Russian airport.

Well...he wouldn't be the first one running for President while in prison:
Eugene V. Debs - Wikipedia.

Debs ran for president in the 1920 election while in prison in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. He received 919,799[44] votes (3.4%),[45] slightly less than he had won in 1912, when he received 6%, the highest number of votes for a Socialist Party presidential candidate in the United States.[4][46] During his time in prison, Debs wrote a series of columns deeply critical of the prison system. They appeared in sanitized form in the Bell Syndicate and were published in his only book, Walls and Bars, with several added chapters. It was published posthumously.[1]

He doesn't need to actual run by the time 2024 comes around, he just needs his supporters to believe he will be so they keep sending him money and adoration.

 

[DaisyDay]

But he stands to rake it in by holding rallies and GOP events at his properties. He can also loan the campaign money at very unfavorable rates.

Is it just me, or is Trump seeming more and more like a televangelist every day...

Both attract the same crowds.
