Trump Can’t Win in 2024.
In about a week, I’m going to start a betting pool and invite everyone to guess whether Trump can win the 2024 Presidential election, assuming that he leads the GOP slate. And what I am prepared to do is pay anyone a Jackson who bets that Trump will win if in fact he does win. And if anyone bets that he will win and he runs and loses, then people who bet he would win will owe me a Jackson, but I’ll come up with some good charity where they can send their dough.
I’m probably going to ask my friends who bet that Trump will win to send their Jacksons to a charity which feeds the poor, or helps people in mental distress, you know, something good and compassionate like that. And I have no doubt that everyone who bets that Trump will be elected President again in 2024 will have to fork up some cash.
Because the truth is that Trump has about as much chance of winning a general election as I have to lose those final, goddamned 20 pounds that I haven’t been able to lose at any time in the last ten years.
Now if someone could make a potato chip which tastes like a potato chip but has zero calories, I would for sure have long ago lose that weight. But what makes potato chips taste so good is precisely the fact that a single chip has 10 calories, those little single-serving bags are around 150 calories, and let’s not talk about the ripple chips, okay?
