Bakit Tinawag si Donald Trump na Makapangyarihan sa Buong Mundo Pag-aanalisa sa Politika
The former president has been dropping heavy hints that he’s going to attempt a comeback. With luck he and arch-rival Ron DeSantis will rip the Republicans apart
You know how the saying goes: if at first you don’t succeed then sulk like a toddler, baselessly claim that an election was stolen from you, then try, try again. After lots of will-he-won’t-he it now seems almost certain that Donald Trump will run for president in 2024. Last Thursday, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s 2016 campaign lead, said that we can expect Trump to announce his candidacy soon and rumours have been flying ever since. Over the past few days, Trump advisers have been dropping hints to the media that the former president will run and Trump himself has been teasing a comeback at events across the country. On Monday, shares of the company that will take Trump’s social media venture public rallied in anticipation of the idea that the guy who reportedly drinks 12 Diet Cokes a day, likes to flush White House documents down the toilet and is mired in multiple lawsuits, might become the most powerful man in the world again.
So when will Trump make this cursed announcement? Probably as soon as I file this column, knowing my luck. And I’m not the only one nervous about Trump’s timing. A number of Republicans reportedly spent Monday frantically calling up Trump and begging him not to announce his candidacy until after Tuesday’s midterm elections. The worry among some Republicans is that Trump’s news would overshadow the midterms and send Democratic voters scrambling to the polls. Trump, in an unusual display of self-restraint, has suggested that we should all mark our calendars for 15 November when he’ll make a “very big” announcement from Mar-a-Lago. “We want nothing to detract from the importance of tomorrow, ” he added, as he made an announcement he knew was guaranteed to make headlines and steal at least some attention from the midterms.

I know it’s grim to think we might all have to suffer through two years of Trump-the-candidate (and that’s not even figuring in the fact that he might win), but there is a silver lining to this horror show. Namely, there’s a decent chance that Trump throwing his hat into the ring will divide the Republican party and, if we’re lucky, cause them to eat their own. Right now, you see, the top unofficial 2024 Republican contender is Florida governor Ron DeSantis, whom Trump is extremely annoyed with. Trump helped DeSantis go from relative obscurity to rightwing darling when he endorsed him back in 2018. Since then, however, DeSantis hasn’t been kissing the ring enough. He’s gone from a protege to a potential threat – one that Trump is very keen on neutralising. We know that Trump is serious about taking down DeSantis because he’s reached for strategy No 1 in his “How to Be a Political Genius” handbook: come up with a devastating nickname for your opponent. On Saturday Trump unveiled his new moniker for the Florida governor: “Ron DeSanctimonious”. Not bad, but it feels a little try-hard. Probably because it is, in fact, extremely try-hard. According to the New York Times: “Mr Trump has been privately testing derisive nicknames for Mr DeSantis with his friends and advisers, including the put-down he used on Saturday.” I know that we should all be worried about the death of democracy and all that but I just love the idea of Trump convening a little writers’ room where everyone workshops nicknames for his nemeses.
Speaking of strategies, the Democrats, I reckon, ought to be weaponising Trump’s insecurities as best they can. Democrats should be getting operatives to call up Trump and say: “Hey, did you hear what DeSanctimonious said about you?” Then they should be calling DeSantis up and saying: “Hey, did you hear what Trump said about you?” Then they should sit back and watch as two of the most popular – and most awful – Republicans tear each other apart.

Trump 14 years ago as a courtesy to Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, after she told him, “My little brother really wants to meet you.”
Mr. Christie had just become the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Mr. Trump owned casinos in Atlantic City, where it makes sense to have friends in law enforcement. But Mr. Christie left friends and associates with the impression that he was just as eager to meet Mr. Trump.

He began referring to Mr. Trump as “a friend of mine, ” the way he later would Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, whose private plane and private box he enjoyed; King Abdullah, who hosted him on a lavish weekend in the Jordanian desert; Bono, the singer of U2, who joined them at parties there; and, after a long period of unrequited adulation, Bruce Springsteen. Much like Mr. Trump, Mr. Christie had shown that he liked to be around People Who Matter.
That request for a meeting from a big sister started a curious friendship of convenience — some call it deeply transactional — that led to Mr. Christie’s surprise endorsement of Mr. Trump last week in the Republican presidential race.
The endorsement could be their ultimate transaction: Mr. Trump, having seized Mr. Christie’s position as the tell-it-like-it-is candidate in the Republican primary, is in a fierce fight to lock up the nomination. Mr. Christie, a term-limited governor estranged from his state after spending most of his second term away from it, is looking to extend his relevance.
A Lowly Servant
Mr. Christie defended himself against the blowback — the Internet ridicule and denunciations from his financial backers, the calls for his resignation from the New Jersey Republicans who had once jumped at his command. At a news conference on Thursday, he said that he could govern his state and campaign for Mr. Trump at the same time, and scoffed at the reaction to his stand-by-your-man appearance beside Mr. Trump on Super Tuesday: “I wasn’t being held hostage.”
Those who know both Mr. Christie and Mr. Trump describe them as alike in many ways: Polarizing and self-regarding, each can summon the charm to make an acquaintance feel like the only person in the room, and just as quickly turn if a relationship no longer suits his interests. Mr. Trump is The Donald; Mr. Christie’s re-election slogan was “The Governor.”
“They both have very immense egos; they both sort of have the feeling that they have the power to do anything, ” said Alan Steinberg, who served in the administrations of Gov. Christie Whitman and President George W. Bush. (Mr. Steinberg supported Mr. Christie for governor but now backs Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for president.)

“They think they can just bully their way through, ” he added. “They both skirt the edge; they both have tendencies toward mendacity. It’s the perfect bromance.”
Mr. Christie has told audiences variously that it was during a face-to-face meeting or on a phone call that Judge Barry, with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Newark, asked him to meet her brother in 2002.
Mr. Christie was relatively new to public life, and eager for it; he had been a Morris County freeholder, but failed in his campaigns for higher office and was appointed federal prosecutor after his brother, Todd, donated handsomely to Mr. Bush’s first presidential campaign.

Mr. Trump had long worked Atlantic City politics to suit his casino interests, but he had just lost a fight against a tunnel project that would serve a casino proposed by his longtime archrival, Steve Wynn; Mr. Trump called the tunnel “Steve Wynn’s private driveway.” Mr. Wynn now supports Mr. Trump for president.
Mr. Christie and Mr. Trump met over dinner at Jean-Georges, the celebrity-chef restaurant in one of Mr. Trump’s towers on the West Side of Manhattan. Mr. Christie recalled Mr. Trump’s ordering for him when the chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, came out to greet him. (“The special thing you made for me? We’ll take two of those, too. ”)
Three years later, Mr. Christie’s friends in New Jersey were impressed when he was invited to Mr. Trump’s third wedding, in Palm Beach, Fla.

“That was kind of a who’s who, ” said State Senator Joe Kyrillos, a longtime friend of Mr. Christie who as the New Jersey Republican Party chairman helped him become a United States attorney, but supported Jeb Bush for president after a falling out with Mr. Christie. “I recall Hillary was there, too.” (The other most prominent New Jersey face among the crowd was George Norcross, a Democratic power broker often described as the most powerful nonelected person in the state, who was then a frequent golf partner of Mr. Trump’s and later helped Mr. Christie win and govern in a blue state.)
Governor Christie Says He Won’t ResignIn a news conference in Trenton, Gov. Chris Christie addressed calls for him to resign, his support for Donald J. Trump and his appearance at a recent Trump news conference.
