According to a report by Mediaite on Friday, January 26, 2024, former President Donald Trump had a secret plan to be crowned the presumptive GOP nominee for 2024, even though he publicly rejected it after facing backlash from within his own party.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins revealed this stunning fact on Thursday night, based on a source who told her that Trump was on board with the resolution initially and that his campaign had signed off on it.
The resolution, which was proposed by a Trump ally and later withdrawn, would have basically handed the nomination to Trump, even though only Iowa and New Hampshire have voted so far, and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley is very much still in the race.

The resolution would have also violated the RNC’s tradition of staying neutral during the primary season, and sparked outrage among many Republicans who believe that the party should have a fair and open contest.
Trump, however, tried to distance himself from the resolution after it became public, saying that he appreciated the effort, but that he believed that the RNC should not move forward with it.
He said that he wanted to do it the “old fashioned” way, and finish the process off at the ballot box.
But Collins reported that this was not the true story, and that Trump had actually been behind the resolution all along.
She said that Trump had changed his mind after seeing the negative reaction from his own party, and that he wanted to avoid a rift within the GOP.
She also said that Trump was still very much interested in running for president again, and that he was closely watching the polls and the media coverage of his potential rivals.
Haley, who has been one of the most vocal critics of Trump within the GOP, said that she was “disappointed” by the resolution and by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s endorsement of Trump.
She said that Trump was “totally unhinged” and behaving like a definitive “Washington insider”.
She also said that she was not afraid of Trump, and that she would continue to speak out against him.
The resolution was just one of the many signs that Trump still has a tight grip on the GOP, and that he is not willing to let go of his power and influence.
He has also been pressuring state officials to overturn the results of the 2020 election, calling for martial law, and spreading baseless claims of voter fraud.
He has also been attacking the judges who have rejected his lawsuits, and threatening to run against them in the future.
Trump’s secret plan to be crowned the GOP nominee also shows that he is not confident about his chances of winning the nomination fair and square, and that he is afraid of losing to Haley or another challenger.
He knows that his popularity has declined since he left office, and that he faces legal and financial troubles that could hurt his campaign.
He also knows that many Republicans are tired of his divisive and chaotic leadership, and that they want a fresh and new direction for the party.
Trump’s secret plan to be crowned the GOP nominee was exposed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who revealed the truth behind his public rejection of the resolution.
The resolution was a clear attempt to bypass the democratic process and to secure Trump’s nomination without any competition.
It was also a sign of Trump’s desperation and insecurity, and his unwillingness to accept the reality of his defeat.
