Donald Trump will run for president again in 2024, and the internet isn't thrilled

Donald Trump in front of several American flags.

Donald Trump has announced that he is running for U.S. president again. We may technically be in 2022, but in practice 2016 never really ended.

"I will ensure that Joe Biden does not receive four more years," Trump said in a rambling hour-long speech from his Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday night. "We will make America great again."

All that needs to be said about Trump has already been said during the four long years he was the U.S. president — as well as during the formal investigations into said presidency. Understandably, many people are less than thrilled by Trump's renewed bid for relevancy, and apprehensive of the further damage he could inflict upon the world if given a second term in office.

Of course, there are still some many who remain convinced that Trump has done nothing wrong, ever, in his life. Yet even some of his most ardent followers were reportedly unhappy with his announcement for various reasons, including Fox Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch.

Trump has proven long ago that he will continue to bloviate and spread disinformation for as long as he has a platform. Considering his public profile and net worth, it's unlikely we'll be rid of him in the public sphere any time soon. The only question is how big Americans allow that platform to be, how much power they'll hand to him, and how far the rot will reach.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
