In what surely isn’t a continuation of a longstanding publicity stunt, Michael Avenetti – the “creepy porn lawyer” representing Stormy Daniels, said on Tuesday that he will run for President if Donald Trump seeks reelection in 2020.
Responding to a tweet by “Resistance” icon Brian Krassenstein (who was raided by the feds in 2016), Avenatti wrote “IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him.”
IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him. We can’t relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed. #FightClub #Basta

Not only that – Avenatti is already talking about his platform!
Solidly pro choice. Would never nominate a justice to the SCOTUS who did not believe in Roe or who would seek to outlaw same sex marriage. Fully support equality for women & people of all races, & gay rights. We don’t separate families at the border. And we don’t kiss-up to Putin

To those that claim that only a traditional politician with “experience” can beat Trump, go back & look at the results from 2016. He beat all 15 of those candidates that he faced (crushed many). If we go down the same path and are not smart, don’t be surprised with the result.

I’m not relying on temporary fame. I’m relying on brains, heart and courage. I am happy to compare those attributes to Mr. Trump any time.

When asked if he would work well with Canadians, Avenatti thinks he and Prime Minister Trudeau would get along “just fine.”
Yes, incredibly important ally. I am confident Prime Minister Trudeau and I would get along just fine. And I can promise you we would not be laughed at.

We also note that Avenatti recently began using the hashtag #FightClub in addition to his trademark #Basta

No word on how Avenatti plans to explain away the recent $10 million judgement against his law firm for stiffing an employee, or the $120,000 his company, Tully’s Coffee, was ordered to pay a pregnant woman they unlawfully terminated.
Perhaps Avenatti can bring his estranged wife on the campaign trail to deny comments she made under oath that Michael is “emotionally abusive and lacking control over his anger,” or that he didn’t threaten to “burn” all their money on the divorce – and isn’t “angry and vindictive, and has no regard for emotional harm caused to his son, his daughter or to Lisa.” Both Avenatti and his estranged wife now deny what she swore in court.
As far as bread and circuses go, Avenatti is sure getting some mileage out of his “lion tamer with chair” act.
We suspect it may not go so well for Avenatti if he actually runs for office…
Though if he does beat Trump – how about Avenatti’s cabinet picks?
President Michael Avenatti’s Cabinet is going to be lit! 🔥 https://t.co/33cHbxH1vL pic.twitter.com/ohLXX50Ahg

We imagine something like Avenatti-Biden vs. Trump-Pence in 2020 would undoubtedly be the most entertaining election in the history of the United States.
