After a while, you have to ask yourself what this is all about. Is he such a threat to the deep state that the corrupters want to make sure he does not get another chance to expose them or possibly put them out of power? It really does look that way. I fear for his safety if he wins the nomination or the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativereview.com\/gop-megadonors-are-secretly-courting-two-popular-governors-to-challenge-trump-report-2664100753.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Conservative Review<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>GOP megadonors are privately courting popular Republican Govs. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Brian Kemp of Georgia to challenge former President Donald Trump in 2024, Axios reported Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has struggled to gain traction in the polls against the former president, the Republican contributors are seeking other potential alternatives to jump in last minute, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/08\/19\/gop-donors-dreaming-trump-alternative?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&amp;stream=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to Axios.
