I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.
He will continue running until he wins or dies.
In other words, until he dies.
Unfortunately for us the worst people live the longest. Just look at henry kissinger
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.

I’m far more concerned about the rise of Nazism and Monarchism in the USA. Even if we never have a Republican in any governing office again and the country continues to move further and further left, America has a lot of work to do to ensure these forms of tyrrany are never even considered as a viable alternative to Democracy.
The fact that these forms of governance survive in the hearts and minds of people is an indicator of a larger and more complex societal failing that spans the entire history of America. This is not some strange short term flash in the pan of Nazism and Authoritarianism, it is an insidious and vile tradition passed down from generation to generation, and we have only staunched it’s slow cancerous growth by publicly shaming those who voice these views publicly. Obviously this has proven ineffective.
I think a more important question than whether one particularly sad excuse for a sad sack of shit may run for president again, is how do we make sure the Trump dynasty, and all dynasties, fade into obscurity until the last remnants of their legacy is a footnote that indicates we lived in a time period when humans, due to many generations of hoisting up those with the most lust for power into positions of power, nearly destroyed themselves. How do we make that happen?
This is the correct response and concern. Well said.
That man has obviously never run in his life.
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.
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
He’ll be dead by then. His father lived to 95 or something but Trump proudly admits he doesn’t exercise and he eats like shit. The best healthcare in the world can only keep a guy like that alive for so long before a lifetime of bad habits catch up to him.
Fun fact: Trump once claimed the human body is akin to a battery, and that exercising only decreases our lifespan. I wish I was joking.
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.
As if age would stop anyone trying to run for the government.
He will absolutely run. But who wants to vote for a two time loser?
What do you mean? Hasn’t lost and never will. /s
But who wants to vote for a two time loser?
…and that’s why (missing) money is going to tell him No.
He eats too many hamburders to survive another four years.
I thought he was on the Ozempic now?

The problem is not Trump. The problem is the people who vote for him
The members of a personality cult are victims of its leader. The problem is Trump.
No. They are susceptible to be influenced and manipulated by populist ideas. If it isn’t Trump someone else will do the same with them.
By that argument, a con man’s victims are to blame for having been fooled.
true, but i think the comment aims more at “it doesn’t have to be this specific con man, they’d fall for other con men too just the same way”
My point is that anyone can be conned by the right con man. Our status as Trump opposers does not render us immune to malicious deceit.
I don’t mean to excuse the trumpists entirely. I’m just pointing out that without Trump to focus them, they don’t become radicalized, and never become a problem.
Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It’s the whole ecosystem that’s doing the radicalization, not just Trump.
Absolutely. The GOP is stuck with him until he dies…and his dad lived to be 93.
Well he doesn’t do anything he doesn’t have to and since you only have so much energy or something the people who exercise or some shit will die earlier because they used themselves up.
A not verbatim speech from trump about exorcize and why he doesn’t.
Ah, but did he share the same affection for the Big Mac?
Either he’ll run and keep ripping the Republican party to shreds, or he’ll drop dead. Either way, it’s a win.
You’d think it would be a win, but honestly Trump is a clown. More “centrists” who detest Trump might rally around someone like DeSantis, that’s what I’m afraid of.
Presuming he is both alive and not in jail for the rest of his life by then, I could see him make a run of it. But those are both monumental ifs.
You can run from in prison. And he absolutely would if he’s still alive then.
The elderly tend to have some pretty severe mental decline from incarceration. He’s already spiraling. I’m not sure there will be much left of him to run if he’s in prison.
I mean, it’s quite possible he’ll be dead by then
