<\/p>\nRUSH: President Trump — doing show prep all of a sudden there\u2019s a siren and gigantic red font size at the Drudge Report, “Major shock, Trump announcement.” I said, “What\u2019s this?” I said, “Oh, no. What the hell can this be?” So I patiently waited like everybody else. And I found out that the announcement was that Trump has announced, did announce that he\u2019s going to run for president again in 2020, and has named his campaign manager. And his campaign manager is the guy who ran his Facebook and social media campaign, if you will, during the 2016 race. This guy\u2019s gonna run the whole thing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So a big flashing siren on Drudge, giant red font size. There is a tactical reason that Trump does everything. The earliest announcement, official announcement I can ever recall, like Obama announced 500 days out that he was gonna run. Trump is announcing 800 days, something like that. Now, what might be going on out there that would inspire the Trumpster to give a thumb in the eye to people?<\/p>\n
Well, let\u2019s look. The Democrats think they\u2019re gonna win the House this year. They\u2019re already banking on it. And when they win the House, they\u2019re gonna impeach Trump. They think that\u2019s already done. It\u2019s just a matter of letting the calendar days go by. So in their minds, Trump will be impeached because the Democrats are gonna win back the House.<\/p>\n
How are they gonna win back the House? They\u2019re gonna win back the House by opposing tax cuts, by opposing a rapidly expanding and growing economy. And they\u2019re gonna win back the House on the sheer magnitude of Trump hatred they project. That\u2019s surely a winning combination.<\/p>\n
There is also within the Republican Party and the narrow Never Trumper movement, there are probably some Republicans thinking that they\u2019re gonna run against Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020. We didn\u2019t get a chance to mention this yesterday, but John Kasich, a former conservative and now the governor of Ohio, has predicted the end of the two-party system in not too long a time. The two-party system isn\u2019t serving the country, it\u2019s old and antiquated, and there are too many young people out there that don\u2019t like either party and are gonna form their own party. And the 17-year-old guy from the high school is probably gonna be the presidential nominee of the new party. Kasich didn\u2019t say that. I\u2019m just having a little fun here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just think that… What else is going on out there with Trump? Okay.<\/p>\n
So you maybe have some Never Trumpers thinking you\u2019re campaigning against him. You have John Kasich out there saying the Republican Party, Democrat Party don\u2019t know it yet, but they\u2019re done. They\u2019re toast. Two-party system is toast. But then there\u2019s also the Mueller gang! The Mueller gang that\u2019s out there! And the Mueller gang is not gonna quit until they find something that they can nail Trump with! I am reliably told that Mueller has not given up on the whole collusion angle.<\/p>\n
The conventional wisdom is that there isn\u2019t any evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, and so Mueller has moved on now to try to prove obstruction of justice, that Trump has stood in the way of justice being done in the United States. But the intel that I have from deep state sources tells me that Mueller has not given up the collusion angle. That Mueller\u2019s not given up any angle. So if you\u2019re Trump and you got the Mueller gang out there and you\u2019ve got the Democrats thinking that they have already rendered you politically homeless by the end of this year, what can you do?<\/p>\n
You can thumb \u2019em in the eye by telling everybody you\u2019re running again. “None of what is happening right now has the least bit effect on me,” he says. “You think you can slow me down? You think you can sidetrack me? You think you can take me off my objectives? Fat chance. I\u2019m so committed, I\u2019m gonna announce today that I\u2019m running again in 2020.” We\u2019ll see. But there has to be a tactical reason for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
