This is a story I just want you to think about.
I don't want you to react.
I don't want you to do anything.
I just want you to think about this.
I don't want you to imagine.
That's all.
I don't want you to take this all the way through based upon what you know and what you remember.
Yesterday, the New York Times reports that former President Donald J. Trump is expected to announce a third White House campaign soon after the midterms, possibly as soon as the week of November the 14th, according to people familiar with the planning.
Now, I have been hearing about this forever, and I thought to myself, could this be?
And I thought, Like you did.
Why would he do this?
He'll be 78 years old.
78 years old.
Think about that.
When he takes off it.
78 years old.
The question is very simple.
I can't say it any other way than this.
Are you ready for this again?
Two things.
He runs and he wins.
Can the country take another Trump presidency?
Now, I want you to think about this.
It's a very simple question.
I'm not asking you, is he a good man?
Will he do a good job?
That doesn't matter.
I'm not talking about that.
Do you remember what happened?
To this country, internally, socially, politically, at every level, do you remember?
Donald Trump hit people like a third rail, like a raw nerve.
He triggered.
He was a triggering event.
He was the microaggression.
He did something.
You know this.
You were here.
It was just the other day.
And still does it.
And the interesting thing about it is that as various media are recalibrating for a variety of reasons, Changing platforms, changing models, budgets.
Look at Elon.
Look at what's going on with that.
There are going to be some people who will not be around if and when he runs again.
Donald Trump, listen to me, made, made people.
He provided something.
To media platforms, to commentators and presenters that nobody did.
Donald Trump was this...
I'm trying to think of this reaction, this thing that he's...
And we can talk about this all day.
And we'll talk about the...
The pros and the cons, and he did this or that, or what he was good at or what he wasn't.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm saying, did you ever hear, did you ever live through, did you ever see what happened when somebody, let's say, in your family was a Trump lover or a Trump hater?
And when the holidays came around?
And when it was Thanksgiving or Christmas, and this one couldn't meet with this one.
And people went out of their minds.
Do you remember the birth of what has been called the Karen?
And I think that the word is overused, but it was the singular moment.
Was a woman by the name of Jessica Starr.
Do you remember who she was?
Jessica Starr was the woman who after...
I know, it was during the inauguration, I believe.
But she's the first one who gave us that plaintive, howling, no!
That moment.
She created...
A movement.
That movement led to the front...
It was a new genre.
The front seat howls into the...
It's not really about Trump.
It could be anything.
But the point is, at that moment, that was the beginning of this...
Losing your mind.
It can be for anything.
And then all of a sudden, with the addition of social media, which is very, very critical, social media then created the art form that is called this out of control.
And it led to...
Meltdowns at airports.
People dragged off of planes.
And it wasn't about Trump per se, or Biden, or left or right.
It was just anything.
It was anything.
It started.
Something happened.
It was this Vesuvius-like, this paroxysm, this cataclysmic, orgiastic, emotionally, that is.
This explosion of emotion for everything.
There were people who would say that they cannot take Donald Trump one more second.
Not his tweets, not his face, not his family.
Nothing.
Nothing.
And for whatever, for whatever reason, whatever you want to call this, they have been, these folks and others, have been kind of, sort of, not that ever things are ever come.
But if he comes back again, you are not only going to have a Donald Trump, you're going to have the Trump, this MAGA, Notwithstanding.
But you will have a very effervescent, a very robust, a very vocal, a very demonstrative proponent and acolyte who will, like Newton said, with every action there's a reaction, will be met with people who are just the opposite.
And here we go again.
I am telling you right now, That if anybody in the media business, traditional media, cable news, whatever, tells you that they don't want that, they're not telling you the truth.
There were...
It created...
And Donald Trump is going to be Donald Trump.
Now, the question is, did he learn anything?
Does he know how to work the system?
Who knows?
Very premature.
We're just guessing.
But everything we're seeing, I'm hearing.
Everything, the rumblings from my connections and yours and what other people are saying.
And you can just do this.
And there's very, very, very strong indicators that Tim Scott would be his running mate.
Somebody who is absolutely 100% on board.
I think Mike Pence.
And President Trump did not necessarily enjoy a symbiotic relationship.
But either way, just thought experiment.
He's back.
He's back.
What will happen to the country?
What will the reaction be?
And how is he going to handle this?
And when he He meets others and says, you didn't lay a hand on me.
Remember the scene from Raging Bull where he says, you didn't knock me down, Ray.
You didn't knock me down.
When Jake LaMotta says to Ray Robinson, you didn't knock me down.
What will happen to the investigations?
What will be the role of, again, if, if, we don't know, but the Trump family, will they be a part of this?
Will they be more In the background, will he have his own Jim Baker?
Somebody who knows how to negotiate Washington?
What will he have learned?
This is going to be...
Let me tell you something.
And just look at this in terms of the absolute value.
The magnitude of the effort.
Not right or wrong, or good or bad.
We'll talk about that later.
But just think about this.
If Trump...
Runs again.
And if he wins, and if, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, if I had to guess, if I had to guess,
if I had to say, now who would be the individual who would best be able to handle the rigors Who would be the most attractive in terms of media, media savvy, has experience, Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom best exemplifies, one might suggest, a certain faction of the Democratic Party.
Now what's AOC and the Bernie contingent, what they will do, we'll see again.
Premature, premature.
Let me leave you with this.
What if it's Hillary?
What if somebody says, it's Hillary?
Can you just think, as a, I don't want to say I'm a political junkie, I'm just a junkie.
I don't want to, but if Hillary says one more time, Hillary Clinton sat out twice with Bill Clinton, sat out Twice with Barack Obama.
Accepted the Senate in New York, kind of like Bobby Kennedy did, from Nita Lowy, took that over, then Secretary of State, but she's always wanted to be the president.
And say what you want.
Say what you want about Hillary Clinton.
Say what you want about Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton in particular, she is smart.
And she knows exactly what she's doing.
And she is a pro.
My friend, look at me when I tell you this.
But before, you better like this video.

But I want to see what you have to write.
I want to see it in your own words, your own genius, your own prosaic brilliance.
What would it be like?
What is your reaction if Trump runs again?
And, and, what if he wins?
Now comment.
