Former President Donald Trump dropped a moving campaign video on his social media platforms on Thursday in which he explained that next year’s election is crucial to the survival of the United States as it was founded.
“The stakes in this election could not be higher. Next November, you have a choice between war, poverty, and weakness under Crooked Joe Biden, or peace, prosperity, and strength under President Donald J. Trump,” the 45th president began.
“Just three years ago, our economy was booming, the world was safe, and America was strong. Annual incomes went up by more than $6,000 under the Trump administration, and they went down by about $6,000 under the horrible Biden administration, the worst in the history of our country,” he said.
“The 30-year mortgage rate reached a record low of 2.65%. We had no inflation. We had gasoline down to $1.87 per gallon. I was also the first president in decades who didn’t start a war and I brought our troops back home. We defeated ISIS, and that was it. Everybody came back home where they should be,” he noted further.
“Under Crooked Joe Biden, the economy is in shambles, and the world is going up in flames. Real incomes have gone down by $7,400 per family. Under Crooked Joe, gas prices are $4, $5, $6, and $7 a gallon. Cumulative inflation is nearly 20% percent, and mortgage rates are pushing a brutal 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, and you can’t get the money,” Trump went on.
“We have war in Europe. We have wars in the Middle East. And we are stumbling into World War III. That’s what’s going to happen with this leadership because they don’t know what they’re doing. The contrast could not be more stark. The road back to peace, stability, prosperity, and security for your family begins with a landslide Trump victory in 1 year from now. We will make America great again, greater than ever before,” he concluded.

That said, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson made a startling prediction about the 2024 presidential election, telling an audience last week that he doesn’t believe that Trump and President Joe Biden will actually face off against each other again.
After referring to Biden as “senile,” Carlson claimed he wasn’t being cruel, but said it was “just true.” He went on to say that while Trump is dealing with 90 or more charges stemming from four separate indictments, Biden is losing ground to Trump in the polls.
“Take the opponent out of the race, and they’re still losing,” he noted. “So, I mean, I don’t know what’s going to happen. This is not going to be a race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. I would bet my beloved fishing camp in Maine that that is not going to happen. That’s not going to happen.”
“So what will happen?” he asked. “Well, I don’t know. One of, like, 400 distinct other possibilities… pick one.”
But one of the possibilities is particularly worrisome to Carlson.
“If it’s Gavin Newsom,” he stated, “we should be very, very concerned. That guy’s scary, and I mean it. I mean it. Scary. But that’s a whole separate conversation.”
“These issues will be forced,” he said. “Soon. Like, in a year. And the road from here to November 2024 is going to be filled with developments nobody in this room could foresee; I can promise you that. So, it’s about to get very serious, for sure. Only the leadership of the world is at stake, which is also, by the way, we now know, the most lucrative possible franchise in human history.”
At that, Carlson asked the audience to let their imaginations “run wild” for a moment.
“What wouldn’t they do?” he asked. “What haven’t they done? What might they do next? How will you prepare yourself for that? Take this seriously. As much as you want to retreat and pretend ‘everything is fine, sit down,’ it’s not fine, okay?”
