ctkatz,

I don’t think he’d survive that long. and if he did, that syphilitic brain of his would prevent him from even being viable to everyone but the ones who have trump flavoraid for blood.

Not really, but I don’t think it much matters.

If Trump hit upon a political strategy that is effective, then someone else will presumably use it, absent a change in the political environment.

tastysnacks,

Trump is a little unique billy goat here. There won’t be another Trump. it’ll be different next time

He will be dead but I would expect him to try a run.

I don’t think he’ll be alive in 2028 TBH, but if he doesn’t hamberder himself to death before then, I think he’d run either way.

Hard to run from jail (please)

Wouldn’t be the first time.

Is it a requirement these days to be a super old white man to be president of the united states?

bhamlin,

Well, there’s a minimum age requirement. Any one running for that office will need to meet that. And it’s kinda “old.”

intensely_human,

Yes. Obama represented the end of an era. We are now in the phase of US history when it’s only old white men who are president.

gravitas_deficiency,

Well, when he dies, I’m gonna create a ton of Parler and truth social bot accounts and spread conspiracy theories with the end goal of persuading idiots on the alt-right to mount write-in campaigns for Trump.

But I will absolutely not consider doing that until he is dead and buried.

sturmblast,

He’ll be in prison

paddirn,

Probably and Republicans will be too stupid to go with anyone else, hopefully he’s on his deathbed by then (if not gone sooner). At least Democrats will have to run somebody else, though not sure who in the current Democrat party would rise to the top. Hillary might make another go at it, but I could see Newsom or Warren going after it as well, but nobody really strong comes to mind.

thecrotch,

Hillary might make another go at it

She’s a smart woman, surely she must have realized by now that nobody likes her

paddirn,

Ehhh, I’d have thought she had realized that the first go around, however, she actually did win the popular vote against Trump in 2016 (Hillary: 65,853,625 votes (48.0%) vs Trump: 62,985,106 votes (45.9%)), so it’s entirely plausible that she doesn’t realize that.

Nollij, (edited )

I’m assuming you mean when she lost the primary to Barack Obama in 2008. It’s hard to argue that it was proof that she was unpopular when Obama went on to win the general election by such a huge margin, and even his reelection by a comfortable margin. It just serves as proof that Obama was extremely popular, moreso than her.

2016, OTOH, showed that the people (through a skewed system) preferred Trump to her. That’s a hard reality to dismiss.

JeeBaiChow,

If his base doesn’t learn that they’re supporting a grifting criminal, and he continues to be able to fleece them unabated, sure.

Running for his life I hope

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Since when has a politician known when to quit?

someguy3,

George Washington?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

He did serve for two terms. Back then, that was the most someone could do. The idea he could’ve been a monarch if he wished isn’t exactly accurate given the combination of public pressure, the way other founding fathers weighed in, and the fact that America’s then-neighboring allies the Haudenosaunee civilization was already a democracy superior to even the ancient Greeks.

kandoh,

Adams was his puppet, he was a shadow leader until he bleed to death in a dark ritual to extend his life gone wrong

Toes,

Only he knows for sure, but I suspect for an older man like himself. He might just wanna retire.

FenrirIII,

He’ll never retire unless it’s in prison
