Would it not be smart to BRIBE Trump to not run in 2024?

[Alhena]

I don't even want to deal with the stress of the possibility he might return as president, and I'm no longer able to delude myself that he doesn't have a horde of idiots willing to vote for him.

Would it not be a smart use of funds to have, for example, a TV network promise him the BIGGEST TV CONTRACT OF ALL TIME (as he would describe it in Twitter), with the condition that he not run in 2024?

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. FUCK TRUMP

He wont get anything but a prison cell.

[Alhena]

3. On what charges in what jurisdiction?

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. I am not Google. However, it IS your friend.

[Alhena]

9. Well, I'm a lawyer and am not aware of any criminal charges that seem likely to lock him up

[bluestarone]

19. You're NOT LOOKING

And if you believe that then your not a lawyer!

[Alhena]

23. Only need one Trump supporter on the jury and no conviction

[bluestarone]

31. SO?

I'm fully ready to chance that! The WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY!!!!

[Alhena]

34. I'm all for charging him, but I don't expect him to be in jail in 2024

[bluestarone]

35. NOT a reason not to charge him.

CANNOT let this go UNCHARGED no matter what we (YOU) think.World would be a mess if we let this type BULLSHIT go unanswered!!

[smirkymonkey]

42. In New York? Hah!

[lapfog_1]

29. tax evasion and bank fraud

he either inflated the value of his properties to illegally obtain loans OR he understated the value to lower hi tax burden... or both.

[SheltieLover]

16. I'm with you on this, Ferret!

[Binkie The Clown]

2. I don't think anyone would take a Trump run seriously enough

to give him the media coverage he craves.

[Alhena]

6. Then they'd be ignoring the lessons of this election, 71 million voted for him

[Binkie The Clown]

10. But if he got no media coverage, nobody would even know he was running. nt

[kimbutgar]

5. I think his health and getting exposed for his crimes might hurt his chances in 2024

[TwilightZone]

7. No.

He wants attention. He should be ignored.

He'll either be dead by 2024 or he'll lose in the primaries, assuming he even runs. No way does the GOP make the same mistake twice. He only won in 2016 because the field was too large for too long and was filled with losers.

[servermsh]

8. Trump will be running from the law. I don't expect him running for President.

[soothsayer]

14. This

Unless he goes Lyndon LaRouche

[soothsayer]

15. This

Unless he goes Lyndon LaRouche

[LisaL]

11. So you are suggesting rewarding bad behavior?

NT

[Alhena]

17. I consider it buying peace of mind and putting an entertainer in his rightful format

[unblock]

12. So republicans can run a more capable dictator? No thanks.

[Demsrule86]

13. No, it would not.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. No. Not at all.

For one thing, it would be just another example of how he gets tons of money no matter how incompetent he is.

For another, I think the Republican Party will be heartily sick of him long before campaigning for 2024 begins and they will move quietly to block him from trying to run. Plus, he's going to be 78 that year, and yes, I know it is how old Joe currently is, but he's a far less healthy 70 something. He will, assuming he avoids jail or the need to move to a country with no extradition treaty, decide he'd rather spend his days just playing golf and eating fast food than anything else. That's my opinion.

[brush]

20. Don't worry, he'll be old news by then. And just like trump...

repugs will be ready to trade in the old model for younger, fresher flesh like Tucker Carlson or Tom Cotton or even the a-hole Jr.

The orange anus is done.

[SheltieLover]

21. Zero integrity

We do not negotiate with terrorists!

[Me.]

22. WHAT?

Give him more money after he has already robbed us blind?

And I doubt he'll even be on this planet by then.

[pwb]

24. He will be in jail

before that.

[Alhena]

26. Better hope there are no Trump supporters on the jury

[LizBeth]

25. Trump has been taking from the tax payers his whole life and especially the last 4 yrs. No.

[cwydro]

27. He's never going to run again.

Can’t believe anyone thinks so.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. He'd take the money and run anyway in 2024.

[Generic Brad]

30. He needs to be dealt with like the toddler he is

What do you get when you have the gimmes? Nothing!

[essme]

32. He's not going to be healthy enough

He is already going to be stressed out for the next 8 weeks, and then facing huge legal/ financial problems. He won't even attempt a 2024 run.

If he and his family weren't such assholes, I would feel sorry for them. Sometimes, in weak moments, I do---

[Totally Tunsie]

33. Why should we reward bad behavior?

Ridiculous.

[Brother Mythos]

36. It is an interesting idea. But, ...

it takes both a lot of media coverage and money to successfully run for POTUS.

It's a certainty that Trump will run for POTUS in 2024, if he's still alive and not in jail. And, it's a certainty that he will get a lot of media coverage. However, will it be positive media coverage? I doubt very much that it will.

And, I'm pretty sure that the big donor class and corporation boys won't be willing to throw their money away a second time. After all, the guy is now a proven LOSER.

Lastly, I suspect having Trump out there bad-mouthing the rest of the Republican presidential field may actually help the Democrats in the next election.

[dawg day]

37. I think he's going to be drooling in a "memory ward" by then

Donnie Jr can't wait for it. He's probably going to knee-cap his sister to take over the "throne". I heard some pol-- Axelrod? -- say, "It's going to be like Game of Thrones."

[SlogginThroughIt]

38. Hell no let him destroy their party.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

39. I'm all for bribing him to leave the country.....

to the furthest point on earth away from Washington, D.C.........

[Clearly fogged in]

40. I think you have his mindset right, but not the outcome

Look earlier maybe. He figured he would agree to go into this only when he knew all the out strategies and avenues.

[whistler162]

41. He ain't no Cleveland!

[hlthe2b]

43. He belongs in jail. We do not negotiate with TERRORISTS. PERIOD.

[Gothmog]

44. trump will be busy fighting lawsuits and facing bankruptcy to run in 2024

[Retrograde]

45. No. It would be like rewarding a toddler for throwing a tantrum.

Management 101: do not reward behaviors you want to discourage.

[struggle4progress]

46. He wouldn't stand a chance in 2024

[WhiskeyGrinder]

47. lol wtf
