'All Hell's Gonna Break Loose' If Trump Returns To Power, Says Former RNC Chair: 'It's Not About Return To Presidency...'

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele has made a grim prediction about the potential return of controversial figures to Donald Trump‘s 2024 campaign.

What Happened: Steele, in a recent appearance on MSNBC, warned of the potential consequences of Trump’s 2024 campaign, which is reportedly set to include key figures from his 2016 campaign.

Steele cautioned that the return of Trump’s team, including Corey Lewandowski, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, could lead to a highly aggressive campaign strategy. He also suggested that the team might utilize artificial intelligence to bolster Trump’s chances of re-election.

"All hell's gonna break loose. This is all in."

"It's not about return to the presidency, people, it's about his return to power," he added.

"Because the man has told us what he wants to do and everyone is still walking around, especially Democrats, with their heads someplace other than in this game."

Why It Matters: Steele’s concerns add to a growing chorus of warnings about the potential impact of a Trump re-election. Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has outlined a series of alarming events that could occur under a second Trump presidency, while former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger has warned of the potential erosion of American democracy and the global order.

The potential impact of a Trump re-election has been a topic of concern for several experts and public figures. Trump's niece, Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, has also raised concerns about his cognitive abilities, adding to the growing debate about the potential consequences of a second Trump presidency.

Meanwhile, in Japan, the term “moshitora” (what if Trump) has resurfaced, reflecting concerns about a potential “Trump 2.0.” The term, initially coined during the 2016 election, has evolved to “hobotora” (almost certain to be Trump) in 2024, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the current administration’s approach to a possible Trump reelection.
