Law enforcement agents searched the 45th president’s mansion – and gave him another reason to run in 2024, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
with $60,000 meant for charity, but the one where he’s wearing cricket whites as sunbeams break through some celestial clouds behind his head, and his expression says simply: “I dare you to report what I’m about to do to you, sweetheart”.
FBI raids on former presidents; filing stuff in the U-bend – another hugely uplifting 24 hours in politics. Not for the first time, much of the most unwittingly revealing commentary on it all comes from Trump himself, who says of the raid, “nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before”. Well quite.
Still, what kind of world are we living in when a man of the people is treated like one of the people? The whole business has appalled freedom-loving anti-elitist Nigel Farage, who this morningto be “shocked” by the FBI’s presence at Trump’s property, before concluding that “the deep state truly does exist”.
As so often in the rabbit hole down which Trump has led us, I fear the news of the raid is not the unalloyed delight that many of his detractors may be celebrating it as. It surely makes it more, not less likely, that his 2024 presidential run will be announced in short order, very possibly breaking his agreement to hold off before the midterms.
