Former US president Donald Trump said in an interview released Sunday that he will not run again in four years if he is not successful in his current bid for the White House. “I think that will be — that will be it,” Trump said when asked if he would make a fourth consecutive run for the presidency should he lose the November election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
I mean, do you see his old ass running for President… a fourth time? He’ll be 86, right? He’s already had a huge mental decline, and we’re liable to see it get worse over the next four years (regardless of whether or not he becomes President).
I can 100% imagine him running for as long as he has a pulse. And even then, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if he didn't have a pulse and republicans used a deep fake to keep him campaigning. He's basically all they have at this point.
They could do a little cadaver election. One of the most ridiculous times in history repeating itself, but for the sake of veneration, would make for the cherry on top of the last 20 years.
During the Iraq War, there was a brief moment where a camera crew just happened to be in the right place at the right time to show the world a live broadcast of a perfectly healthy Saddam Hussein out in the wild, being greeted by his troops as a hero. Except the guy really didn't look much like Saddam Hussein at all. It was the kind of cheap fake that you would think people could never fall for.
Since then, we've seen time and time again what people will fall for.
So, yes. Not only are you correct, you are probably more correct than people would want to admit.
he probably won't, like, survive for 4 more years. Or at least, he wouldn't if it weren't for the amazing healthcare package he gets for having shat all over democracy for four years.
to be fair, with the way he seems to be going, he might not be physically capable of doing something as presumably stressful as political campaigning in 4 years. And if he loses this, coming back in 4 years would also put him in the position of losing his party the election for 2 elections in a row. He's got a cult following, sure, but a lot of the rest of the party might not want to go along with trying him yet again after such a thing. The worry for 4 years from now, if Harris can beat him this election, are all the followers of his that have gotten into national politics by being just as or even more crazy as he is.
