I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.

      Man I understand sensitivity, but getting preemptively mad that someone might mention that in 4 years a really old guy could die of old age seems weird to me.

        How would that even be against the rules? Pointing out an old guy might die is the epitome of “no shit Sherlock” posting.

        Just a preemptive warning. I’ve seen political threads get pretty heated. ;)

      His views on exercise are indeed bizarre. Apparently the moron thinks all humans have a finite amount of energy like a battery, which is why he never exercises.

    I think if he loses in 24 and the republicans don’t learn their lesson, then they deserve to have him run again in 28.

    Also, he’s very old. He would be 82 in 2028.

    He’ll either be in jail, in a home for dementia treatment, or defaulted on the half billion in Russian loans and accidentally fell out of a window. So my answer is a solid, no.

    Doubt it, his decline in the last 8 years have been incredible. If he were a family member we would have been looking for professional help a long time ago.

    Can’t imagine he’d be able to remain aware of his surroundings in 2 more years

    They’ll probably attempt an even more blatant coup than last time. If we’re lucky it will be a shitshow and fail so miserably that it de-legitimizes the entire christofascist ideology and destroys the republican party for good.

    I don’t think so. Republicans are both spineless cowards and vicious bullies. When the Trump fever finally breaks from losing again as well as his legal troubles, expect the backlash to be swift and bloody.

    Either he’ll run and keep ripping the Republican party to shreds, or he’ll drop dead. Either way, it’s a win.

    No because in a video I just saw when he was speaking to a group of christians he said this is the election you need to vote in because when he is president there will be no more voting. He said this three times just to reinforce it.

      Obviously just locker room talk. People are just taking his comments about ending democracy and becoming a dictator on day one out of context. He’s speaking metaphorically.

      –“Centrists” still voting for Trump, probably

      I’d like to believe that congress would never allow him to change the constitution and subvert due process, but you just never know what might happen with this guy.

          Andrew Jackson did something similar during his own presidency, but it was the supreme court he told to fuck off.

          Essentially, he wanted to relocate all the native Americans west of the Mississippi river. Well, the native Americans did what every other American does and they sued the U.S. Government. When the court ruled in favor of the Indians, Andy Jackson basically said, “fuck you, I’m gonna do it anyways.”

    Even though I’d like him to drop off the face of the Earth, I kinda hope he does run. He’ll be even less coherent. His insane rambling will be worse. He’ll have to run as an independent, because Republicans won’t bet on a losing horse again - and he definitely would lose. It’ll be a major public humiliation, and he deserves as many of those as possible.

    I would hope he would fade away. But between the need for grifted money and ego I doubt he will stop until he physically can’t any more.

    His ego will make him try over and over again. But I’m not sure if he can. Shithead is getting older and also his people started shooting at him. He probably won’t make it into a third fourth election.
