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. ;)

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I think it’s unlikely hell be alive in 2028. The problem is the people that support him now, will be. They’ll try again and again to get the things they want passed. If it’s not now, they’re patient enough to wait. They won’t stop unless they’re forced by judicial action and these people are behind bars. It’s not trump that’s the biggest issue. It’s the evil people behind him.

    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.

    I’m leaning towards “no”. His fragile ego will have taken two nasty blows in a row. Plus in four years he’ll be even older and more fragile, and it’s already pretty bad.

    If I’m right, I’m sure he’ll endorse some other maga-clown instead.

      I think he’s really good at compartmentalization and it wouldn’t surprise me if deep down he does think the election was stolen from him. I also don’t think he’ll be satisfied being on the political sidelines so he’ll run as long as he’s able.

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

    Trump will ALWAYS be able to Run! He’s the FASTEST runner! Some people say he should be in the Olympics at running but he’s too nice to let those Younger Folks have all the Glory. Trump could be DEAD and his Legs will STILL be kicking and trying to Run right out of his Grave! He’s in the BEST shape of ANYONE probably in the Entire World!
