Former US president Donald Trump said in an interview released Sunday that he will not run again in four years if he is not successful in his current bid for the White House. “I think that will be — that will be it,” Trump said when asked if he would make a fourth consecutive run for the presidency should he lose the November election against Vice President Kamala Harris.

He also said in August he'll move to Venezuela if he loses and that migrants were eating pets in Ohio and he never lost the 2020 election, why give any credibility to the things a known liar and fascist says as he attempts to grift and cult his way into a pardon for his criminal behavior?

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don't think he's allowed in other countries now except NK and ruzzia. Ukraine would probably also accept his participation as a decoy. Possibly. Mexico has expressed interest based on his girth. With a little exercise, he could be the perfect mule. Or surgery..... don't need this yellow stuff, what's this other thing? Don't know, don't need it....ah great! 40 kilos per trip!

That’s gets a bit racist there towards the end…

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

He will continue to run as long as he is alive and there's money to be made

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 34 points 2 days ago

He literally has to win this race to save him from prison. I don't think people understand how motivated he is...

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He's not going to prison. He'll get fined. Those fines will be paid off by his friends. The remaining charges will be dropped. And then he'll go back to grifting rubes with Trumpy Bears and NFT trading cards, before going back to the political bundler circuit in time for 2026.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Trump would get a fine, if he hadn't violated the judge's orders and been held in contempt multiple times.

Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.

See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.

They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.

The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.

I hope you're wrong, but it's possible. Dude has so many very serious felony charges still pending against him. We cannot have a functioning justice system in this country if the rules don't apply to billionaires and popular politicians. I'm going to be contacting my representatives non-stop, assuming Harris wins.

He said that last time too.

[-] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 72 points 3 days ago

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).

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 80 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I was thinking like Herman Cain, when they used his likeness and account to promote party messaging after his death, but this works too.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

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.

Well maybe not "running", but maybe his russian friends will push him. He's their strongest weapon against the US.

He also said he'd leave the country if he lost to Biden. Of all the lies he's told, I wish that one were true.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Scott Adams said republicans would be executed if Joe Biden won. Can we just agree Trump and all his MAGA morons are liars who will say and do anything for a lick of power?

"If I lose to him [Biden], I don't know what I'm going to do. I will never speak to you again. You'll never see me again." - Donald Trump, September 20th 2020 at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina

Same empty threat as last time. If he loses and somehow doesn’t manage to get the Supreme Court to overturn the results, he’ll go right back to campaigning for 2028. He’s going to be running for president for the rest of his life.

He’s literally running for his freedom. If he loses, he could be jailed.

[-] ano_ba_to@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

The tourbillon watches are very rare too. Don't miss out!

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 37 points 2 days ago

I don't think he will live another 4 years will he?

He looks damn old, you Americans love your old pollies but

[-] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

Never put it past the worst people and the most unhealthy people to live the damn longest because that's the universe's sick humor. Not always, but enough that it gets annoying.

He said that in 2020. He was supposed to leave America if I remember correctly.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@reddthat.com 19 points 2 days ago

He's not going to run because he will spend the rest of his life in prison. And that can't happen soon enough.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 87 points 3 days ago

Here’s to hoping he fucking loses 🍻

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 54 points 3 days ago

And is thrown in jail

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

I kinda want to see him kark it at one of his rallies. right there up on stage. Strain a little hard taking a shit mid-sentence and then just pop an aneurysm or something

Don't hope, make it happen! Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote, and donate/volunteer!

That's because he'll be in fucking prison for the rest of his miserable life unless he just flees the country to the arms of his Slavic lover.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago

Doesn't matter what he says, it isn't like he tells the truth about anything.

The progression of dementia will be why he doesn't run in 2028.

In four years this man is going to be legally braindead one way or another. Either the dementia will get him, or the hamburders will.

Did he phrase it in a way that would sound like (to his sheep) that he wouldn’t be able to run as he will be persecuted by them and killed or something

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

I'm guessing someone else from his family will

[-] LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Most likely Ivanka. Either that or Ron "DeSanctimonious" will finally get his chance to be just as terrible as Trump while not being as incompetent as Trump. I sincerely hope the Republican party has it's reckoning and turns around to how they were before Trump. I mean sure they were still absolute garbage but at least they weren't worshipping a wannabe Hitler.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

not being as incompetent as Trump.

this is the idiot that deported people then tried to get them back? white boots? lol what a clusterfuck...

why can't the GOP try to actually govern for their constituents instead of fucking the leg of racism and despots...

Syphilis induced dementia will take him within 2 years— they’re just trying to get their ticks like Vance, Musk, Ramaswamy, RFK, etc. in there…

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

It’s not much of a commitment. He’s never going to say that he lost.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

He'll be in jail.
