Trump mocked the “boring” Low-Energy 2024 announcement

Former President Donald Trump’s official 2024 presidential bid was met with a poor reception from many Twitter users on Tuesday, with some saying they found the announcement “dull” compared to the energy he usually gives during his rallies.

Trump made the long-awaited announcement at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., saying he would launch his third presidential campaign to target “the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests imaginable.” .

“America’s comeback begins now,” Trump told his supporters.

The phrase “#TrumpAnnouncement” became a trending topic on Twitter within an hour of its formal offering, with several users pointing out that Trump’s address didn’t have the same animation the former president had shown at previous events.

“We have watched Trump at many of his rallies with more visible energy and excitement than we do at Mar-a-Lago,” he wrote Kathryn WatsonWhite House reporter for ABC News.
