I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.
This is a sensitive question. Remember rule #1.
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.
Just a preemptive warning. I’ve seen political threads get pretty heated. ;)
How would that even be against the rules? Pointing out an old guy might die is the epitome of “no shit Sherlock” posting.
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 don’t think he’ll endorse anyone except maybe for pay. And I don’t think anyone will want his endorsement. Most of his endorsed primary candidates failed (as I recall, valid to double check that). It may not be a mark of death, but it doesn’t look like it helps.
I can’t be arsed checking/verifying your claim about the endorsement failure, but I do remember something similar, so it’s probably right.
Considering how many failed businesses he has under his name, I doubt failure is enough to hurt his ego. He’ll just make something up so he can pretend he’s still a success. Like how he claims he won the last election despite it being yet another failure to add to the pile.
Narcissists don’t know how to recognize their own failures
Yeah, while the cluster b two axis graph of opinion of self and opinion of others is useful it’s important to remember that narcissism is often rejection of acknowledgment of personal flaws. They don’t actually like themselves
I like your funny words magic man
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.
Donny Jr hoping for daddy’s approval.
He might have his endorsement, but never his approval.
Jesus Christ, that’s brutal.
Like you’re stabbing a corpse at this point good sir.
He will absolutely run. But who wants to vote for a two time loser?
But who wants to vote for a two time loser?
…and that’s why (missing) money is going to tell him No.
What do you mean? Hasn’t lost and never will. /s
He eats too many hamburders to survive another four years.
One can pray for the cholesterol bullet to not miss as well.
He will continue running until he wins or dies.
I feel like he would continue trying even after his turn limit if he won
No cap 50/50 odds he tries a postmortem run. Can’t put odds on whether it’ll be in spirit or “Weekend at Bernie’s”-style.
In other words, until he dies.
I sure hope that he won’t win
Unfortunately for us the worst people live the longest. Just look at henry kissinger
I think there’s a bit of bias there. History’s worst are considered as such because they died “a bad person,” which is of note to us, whereas most of humanity is good or at least complex.
Not only is news more sellable when its negative, but our books record the moments of tragedy more than peace, even the human genome favors “remembering” the negative in order to survive.
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!
I mean, it’s quite possible he’ll be dead by then
And be even older than Jobien when he does? All the “He’s too old” T-shirts, will be in style again.
Hopefully he’ll actually be in prison before then.
I was gonna upvote but your comment has 45 upvotes and that seems appropriate so I’ll leave it there
Maybe, but not under the GOP I think. Id bet on DeSantis at the moment, but who knows how the next four years shakes out
After the way that DeSantis went after Disney just to prove a point that he’s in charge, I don’t think corporations would let him become POTUS. He’d be too dangerous to their bottom line.
I’d love for him to. He’d lose even harder, slowly going mad with jealousy and rage
Yeah, if he loses a second time in a row here, I can’t see how someone could think the 3rd time is going to work.
I don’t see how he can live that long.

“I still miss my [wife|president] but my aim is improving”
Running is necessary to collect donations so yes
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.
Desantis has the charisma of a wet napkin though, he was basically laughed out of the last Republican Primary for being weird and off-putting
