Bargaining stage: CNN reporting Trump and his advisors

[coti]

are discussing a 2024 presidential run by Trump.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. He'll either be in jail or Rostov-on-Don by 2024.

It's now or never for him.

[maryellen99]

8. Or most likely dead nt

[BComplex]

36. This world would be a much much better place without him.

But republican presidents just keep getting worse every time. I think we need to do whatever we can to make sure they never stick us with another republican president. The first thing we need to do is secure our democracy against hackers, foreign and domestic (thinking Karl Rove's band of hackers/programmers).

[ananda]

51. That's what I was thinking.

!!!

[Initech]

45. No way he lives to 2024.

Given his health, shape, and complete lack of exercise, I'm guessing he'll suffer a massive coronary long before he could qualify for reelection. And by then his family name will be so toxic that no one will want Ivanka or Jared or Don Jr, or anyone from that hideous family.

[AkFemDem]

2. Good, talk him down with that

There’s no way the GOP gives him a cent in 2024, he’s dead to them as soon as he’s escorted out the door.

[luv2fly]

29. Maybe but we can't let anyone forget

... who these people have been and what they have done to our country. It's too late to run away, they own this shit.

[AkFemDem]

41. I agree but until he leaves...

Let them pat him On the back and say “there there Donnie, you can ride in AF1 again in four years, let’s just go to the car now...”

[tecelote]

3. Can you run for President from prison?

[samnsara]

44. didnt Buddy Cianci run for Mayor of Providence from prison?

[dchill]

4. Trump's advisors are shining him on. Literally.

[dawg day]

5. LOL-- tear the GOP apart, Trump!

I thought Donnie Jr and Ivanka were going to duke it out for the "dynasty" in 2024.

[Newest Reality]

6. Does that mean...

He knows it's over besides all the bluster, propaganda and interference with the process?

That would also mean he is simply going to milk his devotees for everything he can while he has the impetus, which you could expect.

[coti]

12. Yeah, it's stage 3 of the grief process nt

[mr_lebowski]

7. Going to be difficult to campaign ...

FROM F***ING JAIL.

Just sayin'

[Ms. Toad]

15. My thoughts, exactly. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

32. For real though how perfect would it be if he flees to like Russia ...

And then tries to mount a campaign from there in 2024?

You know, the whole 'return of the persecuted/exiled leader' thing?

Be so perfectly Banana Republic for Donald Trump.

[Ms. Toad]

38. That would be interesting . . .

I'm thinking of the legal possibilities, and wondering if there is any requirement that he be on US soil for any part of the pre-electon process. In which case they can grab jurisdiction over him and haul him into court . . . since presumably that's why he's fleeing to Russia; to avoid prosecution.

[AlexSFCA]

9. based on the results, trump might be the only hope gop has

he is getting more popular vote than Obama, second only to Biden. We need to figure out how to address trumpism.

[AkFemDem]

22. Nope, this completely ignores the large number

Of nose holder republicans who’d rather vote for satan himself than vote for a democrat. They were not voting for Trump, they were voting for a Republican. There is no way the GOP ever throws their money and support behind him again. It’s over.

[Hoyt]

10. He'll be drooling in a nursing home by then. If he says that, it's just saving face while

he slinks off as a loser.

[Skraxx]

11. In 2024 He Will Either Be

Dead, from his own ailments or Putin, or in prison.

[SWBTATTReg]

13. Convict him of a felony or worse, he's assaulted enough women and people...if he has a

felony, he can't run for president I think?

[mr_lebowski]

34. I don't think there's any such requirement, funnily enough ... nt

[iloveObama12]

14. Well i be damn!

This fool could win again, smdh!

[coti]

17. The 2024 run isn't real, it's a coping construct nt

[Croney]

16. He'll be 78, with four more KFC years literally under his belt.

He won't want to be facing any ramps that need creeping down.

[MoonRiver]

23. Also, he might be in jail. But I guess he could still run.

[mr_lebowski]

39. He'll flee to Russia then mount a campaign from there ... perfectly Banana Republican style nt

[Initech]

31. Seriously, he's a few Big Macs away from Rascal scooter territory.

[exboyfil]

18. Trump - Pardons will be very damaging for your 2024 effort

Please don't issue any of them.

[MoonRiver]

19. The stages of grief, lol

[RockRaven]

20. In order to keep collecting campaign contributions and self-dealing like they do, he has to "run"

for something. It is why Don Jr floated running for governor after the Dotard won re-election.

When Dump loses, they will file the paperwork right away, just like they did for the 2020 campaign four years prior.

[elias7]

21. Twitter needs to cancel his account

He has broken every rule of decorum and decency and I'm sure have violated their TOS. The country does not his form of discourse dumbing down and inflaming the waters for the next 4 years.

[Thomas Hurt]

24. I don't wish people dead usually but I will make an exception for Trump.

I hope he dies in his sleep in the discomfort of a jail cell...hell even his own bed, before 2024.

[Sanity Claws]

25. THis is so he can continue to collect campaign funds

from his poor duped followers.

[onetexan]

43. my thoughts as well. He'll find a way to con people. He'll put out books and MAGA gear, create his

own tv network where he and his dumb kids can hawk their crap.

[Under The Radar]

26. Visions of Prison Rallies are stuck in my head.

[njhoneybadger]

27. Yeah, That's the ticket

https://m.

[Mike 03]

28. Trump isn't going to make it another 4 years.

His dementia in combination with his drug abuse and physical dilapidation won't permit a run in '24.

[thecrow]

30. He is just putting together

how he can keep collecting money from his rabid minions

[samnsara]

35. we should make it illegal for an impeached prez to run again!

[unitedwethrive]

37. It's all about his continued ability to fleece the gullible...

I mean, raise money.

[KewlKat]

40. He's a rally addict. Of course he will run in 2024. That should be no surprise to anyone.

He will be a thorn in President Biden’s side as he has been to President Obama.

He will continue to incite hate and anger and riots...how do we stop him is the question.

[marylandblue]

48. Removing him from office is our first step. Then we have to create a counter narrative.

What our vision for America is. It won't be easy. But at least we can do it from the White House.

[marylandblue]

42. "I'll be back." -The Terminator

[bbrady42]

46. He would continue to be a formidable cadidate

He'll have 4 years of rallies and none of the responsibilies of running the country.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration will be hamstrung by the pandemic and any economic relief being blocked by a repug senate.

Hopefully he'll be in prison.

[DarthDem]

54. No, IMO he wouldn't.

He would be viewed as a has-been and a loser.

[deminks]

47. He can run against his spawn in the primary

I think Junior Orangeblob has ideas for 2024.

[Grasswire2]

49. it's a good strategy, like offering a cookie to distract a toddler going nuts in a store

BUT

I am disturbed by people who actually think that next year he could have a television empire and in a position to head a movement.

Why will he not be rendered penniless and powerless through adjudication of his crimes?

Or left in the dustbin of history, revealed as what he is?

[TlalocW]

50. You have to consider the worst case scenario

America being America the rich - even the "rich" - often don't pay for their crimes. If that happens, Trump will launch fundraising for 2024 the next day (if not before). I see three scenarios. Trump's ego wins out over his love of money, and he's actually running for president. Trump's love of money wins out over his ego, and he's doing another grift. A combination of ego, money, and safety from more prosecution by using the money for Ivanka to run, establishing a Trump dynasty.

[Renew Deal]

52. I think that's a great idea.

Maybe he'll even be the first to lose the popular vote three times.

[standingtall]

53. There other republicans who are going to want to be President in 2024

So he will see hostility from other republicans he is not accustomed to if he tries to run again and it will be far worse than the 2015 primaries for him.
