If Trump loses in 2024 and manages to stay out of jail and stick around...

Do you think he runs again in 2028? I'm half-joking but there's a part of me that thinks he would.

But there will still be a MAGA following. I have doubts that he could win the nomination in 2028 though. Too old and too much of a loser.

I don’t think he will because I am not sure he will be here, if you get my drift.

But what if he is still around? Both of his parents lived until 90+, and he's 77 now.

Her view was that he might want to, but that he's not likely to be in shape to do it.

He would be 86 at the end of his term. Average life expectancy for a current 77 year old is 10 years, but Trump’s health is not great so who knows if he would make it that long.

He'll end up as a "Special Guest" at gun shows and tractor pulls, selling autographed merch and offering fresh bowls of word salad at the occasional speaking gig.

He will want the benefit of being untouchable while in office.
