In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.
Short of a major heart attack, Trump isn’t giving up one iota of power. Really helps to draw a contrast between the parties, where one guy is willing to step down and the other is prepared to crash the plane with us all in it.
He knows if he isn’t elected, he’s going to prison.
…or Russia.
Go directly to gulag, do not pass Mar-A-Lago.
This is depends if there are still top secret documents there.
A Russian prison would be a fitting setting for him. Hope he outlives his usefulness.
They wouldn’t throw him in prison even if he could get there. They would put him on one of their propaganda “news” channels and let him go to town. They can subtitle whatever they want for the locals so he can say whatever.
But he’ll never get there. He has a permanent secret service escort that probably isn’t going to be cool with defecting to russia.
True. It wouldn’t shock me if he did the Idi Amin thing.
I highly doubt the Feds would allow that.
I’m not so sure I agree that he will be held accountable for his actions if he doesn’t win. I think he still narrowly avoids prison even if he doesn’t win, or maybe only spends like 3 days maximum in prison, sadly.
There’s also the possibility of house arrest. I’ll take that.
It doesn’t seem like a real consequence. Also, what if he breaks it? Will there be a consequence for that? I don’t see it happening.
For most people, it would be a horrible punishment to be forced to spend your older years at one of his resorts*… surrounded exclusively by people who are happy to support him financially.
*or maybe “resort”, anybody know if you can stay at any impeached ex-presidential resorts besides mar-AHHHH!!!-lago?
lol:
i think the reason it’s considered a resort is because hes only allowed to stay there for like 30 days at a time, no longer. Since it’s not legally considered to be a “private residence” and that has something to do with it’s tax status i think? Which i think is also due to it’s zoning status.
I believe this is pretty common amongst rich people who own multiple properties.
I think you greatly overestimate who would plan on sticking around if Trump ended up disgraced after the election and under house arrest. He will have completely outlived his usefulness.
I hope so. Maybe it would just be these four
You may be absolutely correct, but we know for a fact that he won’t be held accountable if he does win.
I think it’s because he knows that if he is elected he’ll be President until old age and unhealthy living kill him, whether that’s two years from now or twenty.
And who knows what the remaining government of Trumpistan will choose to do for his replacement after that.
he’s not going to prison, he’ll get like house arrest on his golf course
He’s not going to prison
Do they send 78 year old people to prison?
Was Biden not stubbornly refusing to step down for so long, until his party forced his hand? I think Democrats wanted someone younger than him in 2020 too. I think we’re giving Biden too much credit here.
Willing to step down is giving him too much credit. He was pushed out because Dems know he’ll lose. The parties are the same. It’s just business. They don’t love or care about you.
They couldn’t force him. They convinced him it was the right thing to do.
Yeah like how convince people to resign after doing something terrible. It wasn’t Biden’s idea. You didn’t hear all the stuff he was saying after the debate? Come on
It’s almost like he had the self awareness to change his mind when presented with compelling, new information.
It’s what mature adults do
If you think the only way any adult can change their mind is if they’re forced to, it speaks more of you than them.
The new and compelling information was that they wanted his ass out.
Damn. You Biden’s #1 fan. And think so highly of politicians. It’s business. People don’t want to lose money and power. Biden isn’t immune to this.
Yes it was. Gold star for you.
I must be his #1 fan because reasons.
Have an ice cream cone or something man. It’ll help that attitude.
I knew it. You’re in love with him. You wanna share a cone with him and accidentally (but actually purposefully) go for the last lick together, pause and look into each other’s eyes bashfully, then proceed to make out. So obvious that’s what you wanna do.

Don’t give Biden too much credit here.
