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 literally won’t remember he ran this time. I don’t think he even remembers he was president

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

He said he ran against Obama so yeah you're right.

I absolutely do not believe him. If he’s alive, and sane enough to try to make it happen, and not in prison, he will ABSOLUTELY try to run in 2028 if he loses next week.

This is to make him sound more reasonable/believable when he claims the election was rigged. He’s already said that when he wins, Americans will never have to vote again. So in his mind, he wins this election, and then never holds another one while alive.

Somehow, Donald Trump returned.

I thought this sounded familiar, it's a month old.

And remember to leave the country as well.

The ~~country~~ mortal coil.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I think he should. I’d love to see him hold rallies from his prison cell.

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Too many people have reason to make sure he gets the Epstein treatment. It wouldn't last long I'm afraid. I really would love to see him get out for testifying against Citizen United, judges, etc. His whole cult would out him as a RINO and their house of cards would collapse. I can dream...

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

You know they would give him special treatment and parole him or something so he could run. The government is corrupt enough to make it happen.

Gods willing, it'll be because he drops dead. He does not strike me as the type with long to live.
