Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

He said that last time too.
I mean, do you see his old ass running for President… a fourth time? He’ll be 86, right? He’s already had a huge mental decline, and we’re liable to see it get worse over the next four years (regardless of whether or not he becomes President).
I can 100% imagine him running for as long as he has a pulse. And even then, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if he didn't have a pulse and republicans used a deep fake to keep him campaigning. He's basically all they have at this point.
They could do a little cadaver election. One of the most ridiculous times in history repeating itself, but for the sake of veneration, would make for the cherry on top of the last 20 years.
I was thinking like Herman Cain, when they used his likeness and account to promote party messaging after his death, but this works too.
God, I hadn’t even thought about how many Trump deepfakes are going to be swindling conspiracy theorists out of their money for years after he dies.
During the Iraq War, there was a brief moment where a camera crew just happened to be in the right place at the right time to show the world a live broadcast of a perfectly healthy Saddam Hussein out in the wild, being greeted by his troops as a hero. Except the guy really didn't look much like Saddam Hussein at all. It was the kind of cheap fake that you would think people could never fall for.
Since then, we've seen time and time again what people will fall for.
So, yes. Not only are you correct, you are probably more correct than people would want to admit.
That was just one of his body doubles. You can tell the difference because he didn't have a scar.

If he dies the Trumpers will say that the RINOs did it.
I agree with you and hope he does not run in 2028.
Well maybe not "running", but maybe his russian friends will push him. He's their strongest weapon against the US.
He'll be less dangerous to the US, and more dangerous for the GOP.
he probably won't, like, survive for 4 more years. Or at least, he wouldn't if it weren't for the amazing healthcare package he gets for having shat all over democracy for four years.
he’s 78 now, will be 82 next election.
but if he loses a 2nd time i feel like there will be more pressure to push him out. but maybe that’s wishful thinking.
Yes, I can.
He won't be running again, as if he loses, he will die in prison.
One can dream
Have you ever known him to lie?
to be fair, with the way he seems to be going, he might not be physically capable of doing something as presumably stressful as political campaigning in 4 years. And if he loses this, coming back in 4 years would also put him in the position of losing his party the election for 2 elections in a row. He's got a cult following, sure, but a lot of the rest of the party might not want to go along with trying him yet again after such a thing. The worry for 4 years from now, if Harris can beat him this election, are all the followers of his that have gotten into national politics by being just as or even more crazy as he is.
He'll just say he didn't lose.
