Ready for a rematch: Matt Gaetz itches to ‘endorse the Trump 2024 movement’
Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump.

Could Trump run again in 2024? Congressman hopes so.

Could President Donald Trump, still a fixture in The White House, yearn for a return four years hence?

If that’s the case, he has some preemptive backing from a loyal ally in the Sunshine State and beyond.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz is ready to “endorse the Trump 2024 movement whenever the President wants to ignite it.”

The Republican Congressman made the comments Saturday night on Watters World on the Fox News Channel, a brief appearance in which the Congressman linked President-elect Joe Biden to two Republican heavyweights of a bygone era.

“He wants to reach out to Republicans, but he’s reaching out in all the wrong places,” the Congressman said, “It seems he wants to import the foreign policy of Dick Cheney and the trade policy of Paul Ryan.”

While the gratuitous slams of the former Vice President and Speaker of the House are useful signals to the America First crowd, Gaetz’s willingness to look ahead represents a rhetorical departure from an appearance on Fox News 48 hours prior.

On Fox News with host Sean Hannity, the Panhandle Republican made a provocative assertion, saying errant voting machines “changed more votes than Vladimir Putin ever did.”

Gaetz was discussing Dominion Software Systems, the voting machine company under fire after disputed reports that tallies had switched from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

“Here’s one thing I know, Sean: Those Dominion Software Systems, they changed more votes than Vladimir Putin ever did,” Gaetz said, before going deeper down the Russia rabbit hole on the Hannity program.

“And we spent three, four years, tens of millions of dollars on this fiction of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. I’d say a few more weeks ensuring that we had a fair election in 2020 is worth this great nation’s time.”

Meanwhile, the other side of the story.

“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” asserted the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, a federal agency that oversees U.S. election security. “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.”

Gaetz, a stalwart supporter of the President, has also offered attention to his immediate family, including an emoji-filled correspondence with his friend Tiffany Trump described as “flirty” by the New York Post

    Gaetz, Scott and DeSantis deserve each other. Three losers from the “Far Side” of reality. The question remains …. how far down the rabbit hole can they dig before they hit rock bottom?

    One spoiled brat cheering on another. At least if Gaetz wants to endorse Trump 2024 that proves he knows Trump LOST 2020.

    BTW, when are we going to give his district to Alabama. A much better fit for all concerned.

    A more abject Toady you could not find than Matt Gaetz, who parasites off his party’s host.
    A rank lout, an orange dude, without which, Matt knows, he would be toast.

    Gaetz rhymes with Hate,
    But he still bows his head and prays to his deposed Odiousity, Trump by name.
    What a shame.
