Do you think Trump will announce that he is going to run for POTUS ? ( Yes or No and maybe why)

At the onset, I figured it's fairly obvious that yes, he absolutely will run considering his massive ego, in fact, almost too obvious. I just have this feeling that he realizes that things have sort of shifted and not really in his favor. I'm not so sure he can handle the humiliation of losing, I think he is going to try some "Heroic" high- minded posturing "For the sake of the American people" by being pro-active and offering his support of the most qualified candidate. I'm probably wrong about this so feel free to tell me I'm a total idiot. 😜

Yes, I think Trump will run. Sure he would hate to lose, but his narcissism tells him people love him too much for that to happen.

Plus, the rallies!! Pickup trucks full of supporters paying to come in and cheer for him!! Nothing feeds his ego like a rally!!!

!!! UPDATE !!! From Nov 14 WaPo

A trio of longtime Republican operatives will lead Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, which the former president is set to announce Tuesday evening in the ballroom of his private Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., according to five people familiar with the staffing decisions.

There are expected to be notable differences from his 2020 campaign, advisers say. His nascent presidential bid is not currently expected to have a traditional campaign manager, with multiple advisers in top roles, according to some of the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations. Trump is famous for firing campaign managers.

Compared with 2020, the 2024 bid is expected to have a smaller staff and budget, advisers say, as Trump has complained that his failed 2020 campaign had too many people and spent too much money. He often told people that he did not even know what some of the people on his last campaign did.
