His niece has said she thinks he won’t run again. She’s been spot on in her predictions

the deplorables will turnout in droves for him in the primaries. He will be the candidate in a landslide.

Nothing in the Constitution about that. I would imagine the first thing he would try would be to pardon himself and see if that works.

by a party, much less serve as president. Even McTurtle wouldn't go along with that. Nor would the nation.

But if McConnell refused to give him the nomination after him winning all the primaries, he would be in very grave danger. The deplorables would be outside his house shooting at it.

the republican nomination if he's in jail. He won't be the only candidate. DeSantis, .Cotton, Cruz, Hawley and whoever else aren't just going to give it to trump...especially if he's in jail.

The rest of the republicans and the nation hasn't gotten that crazy.

or they wouldn't have been kissing his ass for the last four years. I doubt anyone will even run against him if he runs.

by 2024. He's already delusional with his big lie lie. He's got loyalists but I don't think they'll prevail.

14. Now I can agree on that since he hasn't been lucid in years to me.

Hell, there's probably a good chance he'll be dead of natural causes by then.

5. IMHO, I Think Trump's Greatest Motivation for Being President Again is to Stay Out of Jail.

On the one hand, you have various legal prosecutors slowly closing in on Trump. On the other hand, you have Trump laying the groundwork for another presidential run. Who will get to the finish line first? As slowly as the prosecutors are moving, Trump just might make it into the door of the White House before the prosecutors get to him, at this rate.
