In reply to the discussion: Two words explain why Trump won't run in 2024 [View all]Novara
(6,115 posts)39. He's too egotistical not to run
Plus, I've got two words why he WILL run: executive privilege.
The only way he doesn't get prosecuted for his many, many crimes is if the office shields him. That alone will make him run even if he knows there isn't a chance in hell. Besides, the republicans are rigging voting in this country; he can't lose.
He has no fear of losing. He's been handed everything - even Russia handed him 2016. So he never loses. If someone else comes out ahead, he says they cheated because in his mind there's no way he ever loses anything.
The only way he doesn't run is if he's dead.
Oh please, oh please.

I believe Trump will suffer a massive stroke on stage during one of his rallies if he runs again.

I read that's why he hasn't declared, cuz once he does, campaign finance laws kick in.

Being a convicted felon, or a Federal prisoner would not necessarily prevent him from running.

At a minimum their use of lies and propaganda have to be made as visible as possible to as many
