Will he, won’t he? Trump’s big tease keeps 2024 election rivals guessing

The ex-president keeps dropping hints he will run again without taking the plunge - and finance as well as politics may be a factor

In Tennessee in June, he asked a crowd: Would anybody like me to run for president?" Then in Nevada in July he remarked: We have a president who ran twice, won twice and may have to do it a third time. Can you believe it?"

In Pennsylvania earlier this month, he vowed that in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent White House".
