50/50 Trump lives to 2028 election. But, I'd love him to get the nomination.

Does anyone really believe with his poll numbers, which will continue to slide he would have any chance? The cheating to win involved would have to be so egregious no way it could stand. Any Democratic candidate would win in an historic landslide.

As far as him trying to just stay in office I'd really enjoy him trying and being dragged out of the White House. If it took millions of citizens showing up even better.

My biggest fear is if the Democrats win the House and Senate, Trump will become so frustrated he might try to do something completely insane.

Because Trump really deserves all the credit for the future America of the next presidential term.

Biden received no praise for digging the country out of the complete shitshow he inherited. Meanwhile Trump recieved maximum credit for the no drama Obama world he inherited. So much so, that voters reinstalled the arsonist that is Trump.

From OPEC 2020, to Afghanistan pullout, to random Covid health policies, to a plan less vaccine rollout... Trump set up Biden to fail, but Biden succeeded anyway delivering a better country outlook than Trump left him.

Here's to hoping Trump reeps what he sows before the 2028 election, and gets maximum credit for what is happening and about to happen. This country is leaderless, corrupt, lawless, and has no coherent policy agenda, anywhere. Voters need to pull their heads out of their asses, or reality is going to be increasingly unpleasant.
