He had Twitter, he does not for 2024, that alone is a huge seas change against him. Demographics in the states that will decide, especially PA, MI, WI are totally going away from him. And he now has a track record of horrors he did not have in 2016.
He will not run. But if he did, he would lose by 15 million of more votes and likely lose NC in addition to the states he lost last time.
