anyone care to wager that tsf will drop out? fake a health crisis? too many ppl talking about epstein.

[mopinko]

i honestly dont think he’ll make it to nov as a candidate.
the level of pressure he’s under, perhaps the big macs will catch up to him. but the whole party is shitting their pants.
remember- he’s gotten away w being a pedo cuz so many of them r pedos, too. i think ppl will start connecting those dots.

[stopdiggin]

1. the only way this guy leaves is on a gurney or a body bag

drop out? Yeah - I'll take a fair chunk of that.

[Greg_In_SF]

23. Yep

We're stuck with him for a while.

[jimfields33]

30. Why would we want him to drop out?

He’s the easiest to beat.

[Omnipresent]

68. Convicts desperate to get back in the Whitehouse.

It’s the only way he can try to redeem his 2020 loss.
Not to mention, slowing and stopping his criminal lawsuits.

[mopinko]

87. i didnt say i wanted him to. but i dont think jd will b hard to beat, either.

also, we’re about to decimate the whole party. it’ll b every ‘man’ for himself soon.

[drray23]

2. He will not drop out. He does not have a choice. He has to win or else end up in Jail

If he is not reelected, he will not be able to dodge all his trials indefinitely.

[lame54]

17. He could run

[Jarqui]

20. That's hard when the court is pressing to collect $464 mil in fraud damages

and everything Trump org does is under tremendous scrutiny
His campaign is also a revenue stream.

[GoCubsGo]

32. Yup! Keeping his ass out of prison is WHY he's running in the first place.

They would have gone on with the whole Project 2025/dictatorship shit with or without him.

[Dem4life1234]

3. I don't think he will drop off he's trying to stay out of prison

[leftieNanner]

4. He won't because he fears two things

Being a loser and prison.

[blm]

5. I was thinking that earlier today.

I should’ve known another DUer was thinking the same.

[mopinko]

39. we need to remember that he is not the master of this monster. he's a puppet for some very powerful ppl.

when it becomes clear he is in for an epic ass whipping, the masters will not stand idly by.

[Self Esteem]

6. You're assuming Trump isn't delusional. He absolutely is.

I think Trump expects he'll win this election - just as he did four years ago. In fact, he might be more emboldened this go around because not only his polling better (at the moment) than he was four years ago, he out-performed the polls (in both elections). I don't think Trump expects to lose. He might not expect the blowout they felt was likely with Biden (I disagree with that premise, I think Trump World vastly overestimates his appeal) but he absolutely thinks he's going to win in November.

[lark]

78. He thinks he will win in the end - but by stealing the election not outright winning it.

TCF thinks SCOTUS would hand him the presidency and the fascist 6 will definitely do that if they get a chance.

[Self Esteem]

83. Maybe but I believe he thinks he has the votes regardless.

He overestimates his popularity. But he absolutely believes he'll win the votes in November. Maybe that changes the longer Harris is in the race, but at the moment he does not think he'll lose.

[onenote]

7. People have been predicting Trump would quit since he first announced he was running in June 2015

That's nine years of people being wrong.

[stopdiggin]

94. many people consider that first run to have been largely

publicity seeking and stagecraft. Apparently even Trump was more focused on reviving a reality TV career - than any kind of serious attempt at the WH. And then ... Thanks to all the goobers out there (and the bitter backlash to having a 2 term black president) - he started winning primaries ...

[Mz Pip]

9. No

His ego won’t let him. And there’s that messy problem of trying to stay out of prison. He has to win in order to pardon himself.

[mopinko]

40. or he cd skip the country.

plenty of places for him to run to.

[LaMouffette]

82. I wish he would flee to Guyana like that certain other cult leader did and take his cult members with him.

[mopinko]

88. yeah, he might not b the only 1 on the plane.

maybe he’ll take billy barr w him. he knows waaaaay too much.

[Qutzupalotl]

10. I don't think he can. He's stuck.

What's more, he's sunk, and he knows it.

[Silent Type]

11. In this election, anything is possible. If GOPers decide he can't win now, wouldn't surprise me.

Question is, would they go for another trump Nazi, or someone who hides their true hatred/fascism?

[mopinko]

41. i think they pretty much have to put jd at the top of the ticket, but

i suspect they’d tap haley or someone equally ‘appealing’ in as veep.

[barbtries]

12. i won't take a bet,

but I don't see him quitting for any reason other than death. certainly he would never, ever do what President Biden did - if he cared about the country he never would have run.

[dweller]

13. If he does drop out

Malaise wins that bet



✌🏻

[ms liberty]

14. If he drops dead first. Other than that, no. He's a narcissist, and a grifter

So he will always believe he's going to win. It's one of the reasons we need to beat him and the Repukes so much more decisively in November; we need his sycophants and the remnants of the party to turn on him and his grifter family when they all lose.

[meadowlander]

15. He is immune to shame or pressure. Otherwise he would have resigned after one of his impeachments

or slunk off the political stage after January 6th.

He will never drop out until he is definitively beaten. Then he will seek asylum in Dubai. That has always been my Trump endgame.

[mopinko]

43. he's immune from pressure from citizens. not immune from pressure from his masters.

he’s not the power here. he’s a puppet. they cut the strings, he’s fucked.

the polls will get worse and worse for him. we’re gonna get a convention bump for the record books.
and they all see the money pouring in rn.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

16. He'll probably just disappear

[dchill]

18. Too many? More like not enough!

[lees1975]

19. It's very likely he will be in jail by election day.

Sentencing is in September. There's nothing in that case that relates to official presidential duties, according to virtually every attorney consulted.

[DoBW]

21. have you seen pages 3 ans 4 from ....

# 5:16-cv-00797 document 1

this is evil stuff

[BoRaGard]

22. Is that a cite for the Trump Epstein Pedo Papers?

No wonder the repubes want to hide the truth from Americans.

[DoBW]

56. copy and paste for search ...nt

[diva77]

24. We've already observed a bit of foreshadowing of what he might do --

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-65389505

25 April 2023

Former US President Donald Trump is expected to visit Scotland next week.

According to the PA news agency, he will spend time at his golf resort Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire.
The visit comes as he faces court action in the United States. Earlier this month he pled not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Mr Trump is also facing a civil trial over an allegation that he raped an advice columnist nearly three decades ago.

Police Scotland declined to comment on whether they were made aware of Mr Trump's impending visit.
It is unclear what days Mr Trump will be in Scotland, however he is expected to land at Shannon Airport in Ireland on 3 May.
While in Ireland he is expected stay at his Trump International Hotel and Golf Links on the outskirts of Doonbeg in County Clare.
SNIP

[mopinko]

44. scotland wont let him in.

it’ll b dubia, or maybe saudi. somewhere they wont extradite him.

[SharonClark]

58. The article is from 2023 and Scotland did let him in.

[mopinko]

61. that was before his conviction.

[SharonClark]

59. The article is from 2023 and Scotland did let him in.

[MistakenLamb]

25. He is literally only in to prevent going to prison

Hes not dropping out but I would bet he has asked Peter Navarro "what its like?"

[mopinko]

45. he can flee.

[MistakenLamb]

67. there are few nation states without extradition treaties with the US

and ones that dont Trumps jet cannot reach without refueling in one that would ground his plane and arrest him

[Mister Ed]

26. He wouldn't have to fake a health crisis.

He's a walking health crisis.

[C_U_L8R]

27. His advisors are all suck-ups and kiss-asses

Those cowards wouldn't dare suggest that he back out of the race.

[mopinko]

46. the masters might.

he’s just a fucking puppet. always has been.

[BlueTsunami2018]

28. Unless he drops dead, there's no way he's leaving.

He’s far too narcissistic and desperate to ever quit. There’s just too much riding on this for him to walk away.

[malaise]

29. I still think he'll feign an illness and withdraw

Remember he is stark raving mad

[mopinko]

49. and run.

to dubai or saudi.

[malaise]

53. Nope

to Hungary -or somewhere in that region- too many brown people in those countries you named😊

[mopinko]

63. also possible. but

i dont think orbon is secure. after english and french elections this yr, he’s likely pissing his pants, too.

[malaise]

69. Even better

Get them both in Hungary😀

[mopinko]

70. works for me.

[FloridaBlues]

31. No he's not dropping out.

[David__77]

33. The bottom line is that his power is having a political movement.

Withdrawing makes absolutely no sense. For over eight years, people have been talking about him withdrawing and fleeing.

[mopinko]

47. for 8 yrs, he's had a chance. he doesnt now.

[JI7]

34. How will he benefit by dropping out ?

[Emile]

35. He is running to pardon himself.

Why would he drop out

[themaguffin]

36. Zero percent chance. None.

[jmowreader]

37. He will not

If he drops out of the race he's staring down an Election Interference case in Georgia, an insurrection case in DC and a refiled classified-documents case in Florida. And that's not to mention that once he leaves the campaign there's no reason for Judge Engoron to not declare Trump's hush money shit was not an official duty of a president and hand down what the Brits call a "swingeing penalty." Simply stated, if he stops being a candidate he'll start being a prisoner within a week and he doesn't want that.

His plan is to get elected to office, stay in office to the end of his term, then tell the courts to blow him because he's outside the statute of limitations. This assumes that he doesn't die in office of old age or bad hamberders.

[Vinca]

38. He's not going anywhere. This is more than a political campaign for him, it's a successful grift.

He'll be having those bandages of his cut up into micro squares to mount and sell to the cult for a grand a pop.

[mopinko]

48. i think when he rightly sinks in the polls, the money will dry up.

both from the rubes and from the bigs.

[Vogon_Glory]

42. Only if he has a serious health crisis

Something worse than his bout with COVID: a stroke, a major heart attack, broken back, some nasty disease or other, otherwise I think the Republicans are stuck with him.

I wouldn’t count on his being incapacitated: he’s had the Devil’s good luck.

[mopinko]

50. he's already pretty incapacitated.

he might not grok that, but the ppl behind him do.

[Vogon_Glory]

85. TFG is still mobile and can make noises.

He may be down the road to cognitive impairment, but he can still occasionally speak complete sentences. During the debates he still showed a lot of feral cunning.

I don’t think he’s impaired enough to persuade a plurality of right-wing voters to either sit out this election or even vote against him.

Like I said before, he’s had the Devil’s good luck.

[mopinko]

89. only when he's drugged up.

even that wont work forever.

[NoMoreRepugs]

51. Most of his rallies are outside cuz his ego is so big. Dead is the only way he drops out.

[AllyCat]

52. He will never quit. He is too egotistical and

Has too much desire to stay out of prison.

He may die of a Big Mack attack, but he will never quit.

[mucifer]

54. he's still ahead in some of the polls

Don’t underestimate the stupid in our country

[mopinko]

62. barely, and he's farrrr behind w young voters.

and the more ppl talk about epstein, that faster he’s gonna drop.

[Joinfortmill]

55. Maybe..

He would need to flee the country. The Presidency is his get out of jail free card.

[mopinko]

65. he will def flee.

[Happy Hoosier]

57. Not a chance, IMO.

He needs to win in order to stay out of prison.

He will only drop out if he is incapacitated.

[mopinko]

66. or he can run.

tho i think he’s running out of safe places to run. prolly always though he cd run to russia or hungary, but both those dictators r headed for a fall themselves.
dubia or saudi.

[Wavelight]

60. I'll take the wager

You can even have odds

[mopinko]

64. ok, what r we betting?

i like a pizza wager.

[Wavelight]

73. Sounds good

Loser buys

[mopinko]

74. .

🤝

[Wavelight]

81. So, to be clear...

Trump has to "drop out" before election day (November 5). Meaning it would be voluntary and permanent. Death doesn't count. The bet would be a push if he dies. Fair?

[mopinko]

90. yes.

we can pm our fave pizza joint and grubhub it.

[Buckeyeblue]

71. He has already been nominated. It would be difficult to replace him at this point

But I think people need to continue to bring up his connection to Epstein.

[malaise]

72. You think he would give a flying fuck.

He is about him

[lark]

75. Nope, he won't drop out, Putin and Orban won't let him, they are counting on him destroying us.

They are counting on him to support Putin's taking of Ukraine (for starters) and won't look kindly at him pussying out. Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of very tall buildings in S. Fl.

[mopinko]

77. they see more clearly than he does that he's about to get his ass kicked.

and they dont like vance.

[lark]

80. Just about anyone is smarter and sees more clear than tcf. He was severe cognitive difficulties.

The only thing he knows is he's running for his life to be spent out of prison.

[Texasgal]

76. No way he's dropping out.

His ego won't allow that!

[mopinko]

79. his ego wont stand up to what's coming.

the epstein files r out there. his own sworn testimony that the 2 of them raped 2 12yo’s.
i think the shots fired at butler were warning shots.

[louis-t]

84. There is NO WAY he will drop out.

As long as he's using someone else's money to try and stay out of prison, he will stay in.

[mopinko]

86. the money will dry up when the polls start to bottom out.

[louis-t]

93. He can always look to his good friends in Russia and Saudi Arabia.

China and N. Korea, as well.

[mopinko]

95. for a place to hide, yes. they wont dump money into his losing campaign.

might do so for some senators, but that’s it.
they arent stupid.

[lees1975]

91. He may very well have a health crisis, but he won't drop out.

The narrative on age has definitely flipped. But I don't see his ego letting him drop out.

They are seriously working on every possible voter suppression and election stealing angle they think they can get away with. I don't believe their court challenges will go very far, even though there are a lot of Republican judges in red states in particular, most of them aren't going to risk corruption by doing him favors by subverting the law. That's all Trump blabber. "It was stolen" is his only out.

[mopinko]

92. he wont want to, but his masters may make him an offer he cant refuse.

thing is, he’ll now have to rly hit the trail. he cant sit back like he has been, doing rallies for maga crowds, before a lot of ppl who r paid to b there.
i’m starting to think that shooter was sending a warning.

[VBNMW]

96. LOL!

I’ll take free money!

Just like he was supposed to flee the country?

He’s under no threat to quit or leave. Apparently we’ve been witnessing two very different beasts operate. His ego won’t allow for either. He’d rather see it all burn to the ground and admire his handy work. He’s even got his own Supreme Court to give him the election ala the giggling mass murderer w bush.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

97. TFG is running to stay out of prison

TFG is not going to drop out

[mopinko]

98. and by now it's dawning on him that he'a gonna lose.
