How Will Trump’s Return For A 2024 Campaign Be Received By His Original Base?

The video shows Donald Trump standing alongside Klaus Schwab at the Davos 2020 summit, an annual meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF). “Klaus has done a fantastic job,” Trump tells interviewers as Schwab stands next to him, smiling. The video received many comments, with some conservatives defending Trump's actions and others theorizing that he's a part of the same "elite" club Schwab is in. Such inquisitive minds are quick to be labeled as conspiracy theorists, but who can really blame them for questioning Trump’s support of the suspicious WEF? Schwab, a German engineer and the founder of WEF, is known for introducing the “Great Reset” initiative, an economic recovery plan for the Covid-19 crisis. It's a proposed global “reset” (or as some people like to call it, The New World Order) of societies and its industries. Schwab also has a net worth of 10 billion dollars, making him incredibly influential. One of Schwab's end goals is to create a one-world government. At the Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils held in Dubai, Schwab said in his opening session, “The problem that we have is not globalization. The problem is a lack of global governance, a lack of means to address global issues.” It's no wonder this video in particular has compelled even conservatives to question Trump’s motives. After all, this is the same man who would talk about “bringing down” the deep state at his old campaigns . Conservatives were already critical of The Great Reset, so I can only imagine their confusion when they saw their trusted leader suddenly taking Schwab’s side at the Davos summit. Trump Flip Flops, but So Does Everyone Else Trump’s friendliness with Schwab wasn’t the only thing that caused people to suddenly be leery of him. Just one year before the Davos meeting, the former president tweeted: “I am being proven right about massive vaccinations – the doctors lied. Save our children & their future.” And in 2014, he also posted , “Healthy young child goes to [the] doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!” Trump also met with Andrew Wakefield before the elections, a popular activist against vaccines. Wakefield produced Vaxxed, a documentary on the CDC’s coverup of the links between the MMR vaccine and autism. “For the first time in a long time, I feel very positive about this,” Wakefield told US website Stat , “because Donald Trump is not beholden to the pharmaceutical industry.” It seems many conservatives who voted for Trump were under the same impression as Wakefield. Trump has always criticized Big Pharma , even promising millions of Americans that he would take a stand against the corrupt industry. However, the majority assumption that Trump was a pharmaceutical and vaccine skeptic turned out to be short-lived, because in May 2020, the former president introduced Operation Warp Speed , the federal effort to facilitate the creation and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines. The majority assumption that Trump was a pharmaceutical and vaccine skeptic ended with the rise of Covid. Let's make one thing very clear: Donald Trump wasn't the only one who flip-flopped during the pandemic though. When news of Operation Warp Speed was first brought into public consciousness, I distinctly remember leftists on Twitter claiming that they’d never take Trump’s vaccine. Even Kamala Harris herself said, “If Donald Trump tells us to take it, I’m not taking it.” Unsurprisingly, once the vaccine was released, millions of liberals rushed to get inoculated to receive their infantilizing prize of stickers and donuts. Let's not forget that many of them advocated for vaccine mandates as well. And while some conservatives said they wouldn’t take the vaccine prior to Trump’s unveiling of Warp Speed, some of them ended up taking it anyway. Hypocrisy is present on both sides of the spectrum. The left has a tendency to believe that they’re the morally superior group, whereas the right sees the left as ignorant and manipulated. They're two sides of the same coin. In the end, both of them mirror each other's behaviors in more ways than they realize. Will Republicans Rethink Their Vote? With rumors of Trump running again in 2024, we have to ask: Will republicans think twice about voting for him again? For the past three years, I’ve witnessed some MAGA followers return to the middle to question the integrity of Trump’s actions. It’s no surprise that some faithful Trump supporters have turned into skeptics. Then again, there are still countless diehard Trump followers that believe he has been targeted unfairly by the media and the FBI (especially considering the recent raid) and that he will bring about change in America if he’s elected again. Closing Thoughts All in all, it seems that more people are starting to see the game of politics as a whole. It'll be interesting to see how the 2024 elections play out, especially if Trump does get re-elected again. Many people still place an incredible amount of energy into trusting a political figure on either end of the spectrum. For some odd reason, humans cannot help but place someone on a pedestal. We desire a savior and we love to rally for change, yet we often fail to make even the most minor changes within ourselves. For the left, their authority figures are the so-called "experts" and democratic leaders. Meanwhile, individuals on the right have placed their faith in politicians like DeSantis and Trump, government officials that play the “dissident” role very well. My opinion is that we need to take a good look at ourselves instead of depending on someone else. In this lifetime, I hope to see more independent and confident individuals who realize that the authority figure is within. Once we realize this as a group, we can make the external changes ourselves without depending on any governing body. Readers make our world go round.
