Trump will run again in 2028

[Cartoonist]

No matter how big the landslide is.
Even if he's incarcerated.
Even if he's institutionalized.
And there isn't a republican who can stand against him.

[Ocelot II]

1. How about if he's dead?

[Mme. Defarge]

4. Self deleted

[TSExile]

6. I'm sure the magats...

...would still write his name in!!!

[Jack Valentino]

78. GOOD! But a dead man cannot be elected to any office anywhere

in the United States.

[TSExile]

87. I know...

...but I don't think they'd care.

[Initech]

7. Make Hell Great Again! Trump / Satan 2028!

[Tripper11]

19. And of course ....

Only the orange turd would have the ego to give himself top billing over Satan.

[Initech]

27. And he'd probably hire Jeffrey Dahmer to make Hell healthy again!

[Coexist]

10. it sounds like a mean comment, but he's freaking OLD

[spooky3]

17. It's really not that old. I have a relative in his 90s. TFG's problem

Isn’t his age; it’s his terrible health habits and the stress he’s created for himself

[Coexist]

23. That's great for your relative! but only 3% of Americans live past 85

[spooky3]

25. According to this source the number is higher

https://www.ioaging.org/aging-in-america/

And TFG is 7 years away from 85 (unfortunately).

[Coexist]

36. The census begs to differ

https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/2020/census-briefs/c2020br-07.pdf

and I was wrong, it's under 2% for for 80-84, and even lower for 85 to 89.

He'll be 82 and if he won, leave office at 86. He's too old. Odds are (based on the numbers) he won't be here in 4 years.

[spooky3]

39. Those are percentages of the population. If you look at life

Expectancy, men who are 78 have about 9 more years on average. Men with higher incomes tend to live longer than average.

https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

TFG just wants to get in office to stay out of jail while alive. If he dies in office, he probably doesn’t care.

[Coexist]

40. Yes, % of the population, like I originally responded

[Ms. Toad]

61. Not quite. You said, "only 3% of Americans live past 85"

That is not the same as saying of all people living in the US, 3% are over 85.

[VMA131Marine]

90. Trump is not average

Yes, he’s “wealthy,” but he is also not particularly healthy. If he was, he would absolutely be parading his medical records everywhere. I’d love to see what maintenance prescriptions he’s taking because I’m sure it’s not a short list.

He’s almost certainly taking drugs for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and he’s probably a type II diabetic.

[gopiscrap]

47. we can only hope

[Jack Valentino]

81. As I said to my father, when they took his driver license away at 90

(after he had a big accident in a left turn in front of traffic, and made the same mistake on his DL checkup-test),

"Hardly anyone is still driving at your age--- because most of them are dead."
He conceded that I had a good point. LOL

[Cartoonist]

32. Does the Constitution forbid that?

[TomSlick]

68. The short answer is no.

I assume we both assume he's going to lose.

The Constitution does not forbid a convicted felon or two-time looser from running.

[JohnSJ]

35. They will still vote for him

[Meadowoak]

42. Let's hope

[Trueblue1968]

62. Beelejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice. Trump, trump, trump.

Say his name 3times and his stinking corpse will rise.

His corpse will run for pres. Lol lol lol.

[Dave Bowman]

103. BeetleTrump?

[Maru Kitteh]

67. Do you have ANY IDEA how much I LOVE that this is #1 answer, straight outta the gate?

Have a seat You won the internet today.

[Ocelot II]

72. It works for me!

[niyad]

97. It was certainly my first thought! But there is always "Weekend At Bernie's".

[iemanja]

83. Dead or completely senile

No way he makes it through another four years in good enough shape to run again.

[MadameButterfly]

101. He doesn't have to be dead

He's losing his faculties daily. In a few months he won't be able to give a speech. He already can't do an interview or a town hall. He can't run again and this isn't about his age, it's about how he is aging.

He won't ever choose not to run or decide to give up or get back in touch with reality. He just won't be able to do what he had to do. When the embarrassment can't be masked his minions will desert him.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. He will never be the nominee again. Nt

[Anaximander]

26. This

Even the Reps are tired of him. No way he runs again.

[newdayneeded]

46. But you two are missing the main

issue. It doesn't matter if the moderate repubs are tired of him. All he has to do is file the paperwork, and the cult will overwhelm the primaries and make him the candidate. All the moderate repubs can do is watch it happen.

[ZonkerHarris]

74. You are underestimating the idiocy of the average Republican.

[Fiendish Thingy]

91. 2028 would make 12 years of Trump control of the GOP

I don’t think they will stand for nominating an 82 year old man who will lose once again.

See you back here in four years to see who’s right.

[ZonkerHarris]

95. The best con men leave their victims never realizing they have been fleeced. EX: Trump loses...

and all his little treasonous plots fail...
The first thing he does is set up his 28 campaign so he can continue to suck up all the money from the GOP base he will keep angry about the latest stolen election.
This keeps anyone else from building up a war chest.
Next thing you know, he's the nominee.
He just needs to keep acting like it's his party.
Because it is.
Until he dies.
and he needs the suckers money.

[Fiendish Thingy]

96. He will grift until he dies, that's for sure

But he won’t be the 2028 nominee.

[BlueTsunami2018]

3. He'll run again even if he wins.

Because he’s “owed” another four years.

If he wins Tuesday, he’s President until he dies.

[RedSpartan]

21. This

[doc03]

92. I am affraid you are right. nt

[Klarkashton]

5. He would still get big crowds at the rallies.

People love the free entertainment no matter how horrible it is.

[kevink077]

8. Nah

Once he loses this time the scavengers will all turn on him and it will be fun to watch. (Except for the fact they are too cowardly to do it now). He already looks like a walking ghost..,

[proud patriot]

99. yup

[hlthe2b]

9. Only if they use a mannequin or prop up his beyond-demented shell of a body (or stuff his deceased one)

[Progressive dog]

11. I can think of reasons he probably won't run in 2028

He might very well be dead and if not he probably will have lost what little mental capacity he has left. In either case, even the most rabid of his followers will be looking for a replacement fascist.

[Cosmocat]

12. He won't let go of his power

Over the party for sure until he is dead, medically unable or in jail for long enough to miss the next election.

[Xavier Breath]

76. Sadly I don't anticipate jail for him, so death or incapacitation will be the only out.

It's too much of a money maker for him not too.

[lame54]

13. Prison yard rally's

[Xavier Breath]

104. Make cell block C great again.

[MissB]

14. I disagree

He’s lost a lot since he ran and “won” in 2016. Looking at the clip of him from Lincoln Project’s new Puerto Rico commercial, the difference between his energy then and now is clear.

He’s barely holding on. Barely. I doubt he makes it two more years.

[Mz Pip]

15. He will do

whatever gives him the most grift.

He’ll be like Lyndon LaRouche, who ran for President 8 times.

[SoFlaBro]

16. That Orange Lump of hog turds will get the proverbial liquid shit kicked out of him yet again.

[Tweedy]

18. I agree with you

If Mr. Trump is breathing, he will need to dispute he lost. It is a desperate need he has. He will be more unhinged too.

That said I am hoping his terror of incarceration will have him fleeing the country following what I hope will be a blow out against him. It will be easier to reclaim our lost neighbors from his thrall if he flees. I would rather have them back in reality than get a pound of Mr. Trump’s flesh.

[jrthin]

20. I doubt it. His cognitive decline will get worse and worse.

Don't see how someone in a vegetative state can run for office,

[dem4decades]

85. His supporters have "vegetative state" minds, it's all about the brainless cult.

[WarGamer]

22. not a chance.

[Captain Zero]

56. This is why his sentence should be 15 years.

Time off for good behavior. He serves 1/3 of it, 5 years. And we are in 2029.

[EarthFirst]

24. Running for...?

Cell block trustee?
…his life after a honey bun transaction gone wrong?

POTUS?

Hardly.

[Autumn]

54. He will win.

The nastiest fucking perv award in the home. .

[Hope22]

28. There will be so many senior volunteers for the...

Over My Dead Body Brigade! Enough!

[milestogo]

29. He can't run from the grave.

[Kaleva]

30. Do you mean he'll have the runs in 2028?

[Maeve]

31. In four years, he will be an old, sad joke

Well, yeah, he is now....but even the Magats will realize it

[Metaphorical]

33. Nope

He showed his hand in 2020, and it's a lot weaker now.

* He's pissed off a lot of groups that voted FOR him in 2020
* He's created a significant body of precedent against him at the court level that will make a lot harder for him to file spurious suits
* 34 convictions for fraud.
* He's known even among his most ardent supporters as a conman.
* He's been checked with just about every political machination he's made
* He's become less and less lucid
* Physically, his body is seriously abused
* Financially, he's severely compromised
* At some point, SOMEONE is going to do an accounting of the books at the RNC and likely won't like what they've found
* He's been the target *twice* of assassinations by his supposed supporters
* January 6 trial is waiting in the wings
* Many of his lieutenants are in prison.

The question ultimately is whether he has any coattails. He's not having a lot of luck with the people he's backing for office. If he loses AND it looks like he's taken many politicians with him, he's done - no one is going to take his calls, is going to seek him out for interviews, is even going to give him the time of day. MAGA will crawl back under the rock from which it emerged.

My expectation is that if he loses bad enough, he will be on a Saudi flight in the middle of the night, and that a few months later, he will discover that even in Saudi Arabia, the windows do open if you throw someone at them hard enough.

[Wiz Imp]

34. Nope. This is his last election as a candidate

In 2028 he will either be in prison or dead. He'll still control the Republican party as long as he's alive, even if he does it from prison, but he is done as a candidate.

[Cartoonist]

37. Don't underestimate magats.

Many of them deny the moon landing and believe the earth is flat. They will either claim reports of his death as a hoax, or expect his resurrection. He is Jesus after all.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. Unless he flees the country

TFG can run from prison

[marble falls]

41. He'll be campaigning by ouija board. Those hamberders are doing him no good.

[in2herbs]

43. How can he run in 2028 when he can barely walk and stay awake in 2024??? nt

[NotASurfer]

44. His buddy Elon will need to come up with a decent robot body

And figure out how to upload human consciousness into the AI operating that body. And thanks to Elon's "you will code under the threat of execution" programming methodology, all that the model TFG-800 robot will want to do is grab a plasma rifle, go back in time to 1984, and start hunting every Hillary Clinton in the LA phone book, while robot Elon leaves Earth to become God-Emperor of Mars

[ellie]

45. Yes, he will.

He will never go away.

[Clouds Passing]

48. Nah just nah!

[Martin Eden]

49. He will be just as successful

as Pat Paulson, but not nearly as funny.

(older DUers will get this)

[ProudMNDemocrat]

50. Not if Karma and her Brother, Grim Reaper, get to him first.

Time to pay the Band, Donnie!

Your days of dancing for FREE are over.

[Emile]

51. He won't live that long. Look how bad he's looking now!

[Blue_Roses]

71. That is one

scarey picture

[qwlauren35]

102. I hope he has seen this.

It would definitely fuck with his ego. He still thinks he’s a good looking man. Fact is, he never was. Very rich is not the same as good looking.

[nolabear]

52. I honestly think he'll be dead or physically or mentally unable.

The deterioration has been impressive. And it’ll take a lot of organized hatemongering to keep things stirred up. My bigger fear is he’d win, “fall out a window” and JD will be installed. A younger, more pliable puppet.

We have to win this thing.

[Autumn]

53. He'll be drooling in his pudding by then. Or dead from old age if we

get lucky.

[yaesu]

55. I think he's been invited to run for dog catcher in Dickshooter Idaho. nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

57. The TrumpRNC will be running Donald Trump, Jr in 2028. Mark my words.

[Groundhawg]

58. not if he wins next week.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

59. They going to Weekend at Bernies him?

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

60. I don't believe that; he'll be much more out of it in 4 years. Besides, if he loses again, none of those congressional

MAGAts will allow it again. They will have learned their lesson.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

63. He won't live that long.

I think this campaign has taken its toll on him and he’s on his way out—if not physically, then he’s on the verge of a complete mental break. Dementia doesn’t get better.

[MiHale]

65. No he won't be able to...

[krawhitham]

66. He doesn't live 4 more years

Just don't see it

[Polybius]

69. You forgot one more "Even"

Even if he wins.

[malaise]

70. He'll croak before then

It is over

[Trueblue Texan]

73. Nah...

I really don't think he'll stay around past Election Day when he loses. Really, he has a sentencing date coming up soon after the election and he'll stick around long enough to scam as many dollars from his marks as he can then he'll just disappear just before sentencing. I hate that because I want to see the sorry bastard in handcuffs, but I really do not believe he'll be here.

[Quixote1818]

75. It wouldn't go anywhere. If we can survive this election, we should be Trump free in the future

unless one of his idiot kids gets involved in politics.

[Jack Valentino]

77. I doubt whether Trump will be WALKING in 2028,

let alone running for anything

[Sky Jewels]

100. He'll be lucky if he's still breathing.

[bdamomma]

79. What

from prison, or will he be a corpse?

[Mark.b2]

80. We need to get a presidential age limit passed...

He’s too old now and will be all the more so. Other things, aside, of course.

[patphil]

82. I seriously doubt he has 4 more years of life in him.

[ecstatic]

84. I remember thinking it was finally over back in 2020. Boy was I wrong!

I thought he would never run after such a huge defeat. I thought he'd either be dead or sick / incapacitated.

So, yeah, we can't assume that he'll be out of our lives in 2028 or that republican voters will not support him again.

[Skittles]

86. no

this would be it - too much losing

[relayerbob]

89. He's not going to even marginally coherent in 2028

[orangecrush]

93. Who?

[H2O Man]

94. Nope.

[KentuckyWoman]

98. They'll all run until the grift runs dry. nt
