Donald Trump has long insisted that he plans on again running for President in 2024, and why wouldn’t he? He still controls a massive bloc of Republican voters, giving himself the sort of undying influence that any politician would dream of.
Another run by Trump would be the Democrats’ worst nightmare, but there appears to be only one way to keep him from continuing down that path: Put him in jail. New York City officials announced this week that they may very well be pursuing this possibility, as a probe into The Trump Organization is said to have turned “criminal” in nature.
The former President was furious over the news so, in true Trump fashion, he let them know how he feels.
In a lengthy statement airing a list of grievances against Democrats in both Washington, D.C. and New York, Trump dismissed the criminal probe as a politically motivated effort to attack him.
“I have built a great company, employed thousands of people, and all I do is get unfairly attacked and abused by a corrupt political system. It would be so wonderful if the effort used against President Donald J. Trump, who lowered taxes and regulations, rebuilding our military, took care of our Veterans, created Space Force, fixed our border, produced our vaccine in record-setting time (years ahead of what was anticipated), and made our Country great and respected again, and so much more, would be focused on the ever more dangerous sidewalks and streets of New York,” Trump wrote in the statement.
And that wasn’t all:
“That is what these investigations are all about—a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of the United States,” Trump said. “Working in conjunction with Washington, these Democrats want to silence and cancel millions of voters because they don’t want ‘Trump’ to run again. As people are being killed on the sidewalks of New York at an unprecedented rate, as drugs and crime of all kinds are flowing through New York City at record levels, with absolutely nothing being done about it, all they care about is taking down Trump.”
Few details are known at this time regarding the scope of the Manhattan-based investigation, as the New York Attorney General appears poised to play this one close to the chest.
