Trump Is Not Going To Run For Re-election

[Teach-only-love]

because he is too ill. He will also use the same excuse to avoid going to jail. In his own mind, he keeps his dignity because he would have had the greatest victory in history if he was not ill.

[Buckeyeblue]

1. He may not have a choice.

If he can't cut a deal he'll have to run.

[Teach-only-love]

4. He has to know his time is up

Losing in Kentucky and Louisiana and the impeachment not going away. He is getting ready, that is why we have a visit to the hospital. He knows if people think he is sick, he will not go to jail. It would be too divisive and politicians would have no stomach for it, like Nixon. This way in his mind, he goes out on top and his people still love him.

[crickets]

11. Disagree, it's far too divisive if we let him go.

I don't know if you lived through Nixon's pardon or not, but I did and let me tell you that won't fly again. The "let it go so the country can move forward and heal" crap was a HUGE mistake and one of the reasons the country is where it is today. Political crime on this level has got to have consequences all the way to the top. Trump can pretend to get as pitifully sick as he likes, he will not escape prosecution.

Line him up with all of the rest, chase down every single one of the involved parties and PROSECUTE or this country will never, ever recover from the ethical rot. Make this impeachment count: take them all out, punish them all. It's not just a question of the health of the country. The world is watching and if we don't thoroughly clean house, we will never be able to hold our heads high abroad again.

12. Sorry to disagree with you.

t most people (not here) would be happy he was out of office, and move on. They would just be glad it was over. Yes, I lived through Watergate and that is how most people reacted then. Ford was not elected president because of WIN (whip inflation now), not because of his pardon for Nixon. Biden's main appeal is he will heal America and return it to normalcy. If he wins all Republicans, almost all Independents and a good percentage of Democrats will support him in that. American's are not people who seek revenge. We just go with the flow

[crickets]

14. Not revenge. Accountability.

But since neither of us have a say, we'll both just have to wait and see what happens - and hope for the best.

[Teach-only-love]

15. Yep, nice speaking with you (nt)

[crickets]

22. You too! Welcome to DU. nt

[Baked Potato]

2. Soon we'll see him in a wheelchair in a Snuggie

Holding a Trumpy Bear and drooling.

[lame54]

3. Inform me when that happens...

Because I won't notice the difference

[ooky]

13. +1

[NCLefty]

5. His bravery in Vietnam will be outpaced only by this heroic move.

>.>

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. Yes, all that unprotected sex. What bravery. He was there in Jan '68 ...

... for the Tit Offensive. Awesome job, Mr President.

[llmart]

23. LOL!

Now that one made me chuckle.

[Generic Brad]

6. But he is ill

He's a sick fuck.

[Karadeniz]

7. Jails have doctors. I can't wait to see him paying for all his lawyers!

[dalton99a]

9. Zero stamina.

What a wimp

[struggle4progress]

10. "I can collect hundreds of millions of dollars and keep it for myself"

[ScratchCat]

16. I've said this for two years

and here is how it works:

- He resigns due to illness and then classifies it at the highest level.

- He then uses the fact that his "illness" is "classified" as a legal argument as to why he can't stand trial for State or Federal crimes because he would have to reveal classified information to defend himself.

[Act_of_Reparation]

17. Don't get hit in the face when Donny throws in the sponge.

[MoonRiver]

18. "Illness" has never kept anyone from going to jail for felonies.

Maybe he can angle a lighter sentence though.

[lpbk2713]

19. No matter what happens from here on out ...

He will be recorded in history as the most disgraceful president.
And of course, if he is impeached his shame will grow exponentially.

[cbdo2007]

20. I wonder if he is trying to get Don Jr. to run in his place.

[Baclava]

21. He's been running for re election for 2 years already!

Non stop rallies since his inaugeration actually

[VOX]

24. Chinless Don Junior is available if Commander Bone Spurs has an "ouchie."

Just like those 1960s-70s racist Southern guvs and congressmen, whose wives who ran (and won) when their husbands were stricken or termed-out.
