Trump is meeting with 'Cabinet members' at his New Jersey golf club as he mulls 2024 run, ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows claims
Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows claims former President Donald Trump has been meeting with 'Ccabinet members' at his New Jersey golf club as he mulls a run in 2024.
Meadow's spoke with Newsmax's Steve Cortes on Friday saying, 'Well, we met with several of our cabinet members tonight, we actually had a follow-up member, meeting with some of our cabinet members, and as we were looking at that, we were looking at what does come next.'
The close Trump ally is holding meetings at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey as Trump and his team continue to look ahead to the 2022 and 2024 elections. While Meadows claimed to be meeting with Cabinet members, he did not name anyone involved.
'I'm not authorized to speak on behalf of the president, but I can tell you this Steve. We wouldn't be meeting tonight if we weren't making plans to move forward in a real way, with president Trump at the head of that ticket.'
He defended Trump's failed endorsement in a Texas special election runoff insisting 'the magic is still there.' Adding that that Trump is 'a president that is fully engaged, highly focused, and remaining on task.'

Trump has confirmed that he is seriously considering another presidential run and will announce if he is running for president again after the 2022 midterm races. He and his followers have also claimed that he would be reinstated as president in August.
Back in April, Trump said he is '100 per cent' considering running for president in 2024 as he previewed he could tap Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate this time around.
'Are you thinking about running again, Mr. President, in 2024?' Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo asked Trump in a call-in interview.
'Yes, 100 per cent,' he quickly replied.
'And the polls show that everybody wants me to do it,' he added. '100 per cent I'm thinking about running and we will, I think, be very successful.'
When asked if Trump would consider running with DeSantis, he gave a glowing assessment of the Republican governor of Florida, where the former president now resides.

'Well he's a friend of mine,' Trump said. 'I endorsed Ron and after I endorsed him he took off as a rocket ship, he's done a great job as governor.'
'A lot of people like that – you know, I'm just saying what I read and what you read – they love that ticket. But certainly Ron would be considered, he's a great guy,' the former president said.
The former president had been telling people that he expected to be reinstated by August according to a report, after his original National Security Advisor Michael Flynn said a Myanmar-style coup 'should happen.'
The New York Times' Maggie Haberman commented on a CNN story that showed Trump supporters expressing support for a Myanmar-style coup to bring Trump back. 'Trump has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn't how it works but simply sharing the information),' the journalist wrote on Twitter.
The Department of Homeland Security is concerned by the theory Trump will be reinstated as president in August and is monitoring extremist online communities for threats of violence, the agency's top counterrorism official said in June.

Assistant secretary for counterterrorism John Cohen told the House Committee on Homeland Security that he was worried the heightened claims of election rigging and beliefs Trump will be back in office will lead to violence, Politico reported.
He was responding to the conspiracy theories sparked by reports from the New York Times' Maggie Haberman and the National Review earlier this month that Trump is telling aides he could be back in the Oval Office by August.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has also been spreading the theory publicly and claims he is the source of the claims.
A seven-point plan of how to reinstate Donald Trump as president 'in days, not years' circulated at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas last month.
The so-called 'Trump Card' details that the former president's best chances of retaking his seat in the Oval Office before the 2024 election is by getting him placed in the House Speakership post and ultimately leading Congress in impeaching and removing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris from office.
The card, obtained by Forbes appears to have been made and distributed by a group called Patriots SOAR, which is not associated with CPAC organizers.
