Trump 2024?

[Sir Mohamed]

Wouldn't be surprised if he ran, claiming the 2020 election was rigged. But I doubt he'll be up to the task for health reasons. By 2024, he'll be completely senile. Dude is also overweight and hasn't a very healthy lifestyle. So, never say never, but I don't think it's happening. Don Jr could be running 4 prez in the next decade.

Imagine Trump running again at 78, with Biden or Sanders as incumbent 82/83 year old prez seeking reelection. The ultimate battle of the seniors.

[Sir Mohamed]

No, and based on the favorable 2012 Senate map, that Obama-Biden won in 2012, also, Dems are favored again.

This a long process, Dems are gonna reverse the conservative maneuvers of the conservatives since 2016; consequently,  it  begins with permanently banning soft money, just like the poll tax in 1964

Doesn't have to the case. If a Dem prez is elected in 2020 and a recession hits afterwards, he or she could be in trouble if the GOP nominates a strong challenger. Also, a GOP senate will block any attempt for stimulus packages requested by a Dem admin after 2021. In this scenario, the fate of the prez will depend on whether the public blames him more or congress.

They can't nominate somebody who doesn't run, given how he didn't even wanna be President in the first place & now absolutely hates being President.

Pffff, what evidence do you have of this? There's already so much evidence to disprove this.

Trump refusing to give money to his own campaign, finally capitulating & giving a measly $10 million, far less than a candidate with legitimate aspirations would need; promising Melania that he wouldn't win in order to assuage her fears of leaving behind her lavish lifestyle; falling asleep during a lesson on the Constitution after having made it to only the 4th Amendment; not knowing who John Boehner was; promising Chris Christie his endorsement after his presumably inevitable dropout; promising Rupert Murdoch that he'd find a way to take a liberal stance on H1-B visas, despite his campaign promises, causing Murdoch to call him a "f**king idiot;" not enjoying his Inauguration & fighting with Melania, who was on the verge of tears; trying to limit his hours in the office to maintain his normal golfing schedule; & proposing the most radical departure from governing & policy norms in several generations, while having few specific ideas about how to turn his themes & vitriol into actual policy.

Also, there was that time on Election Night when the unexpected trend (that Trump might actually win) seemed confirmed & Don Jr. told a friend that his father looked as if he'd seen a ghost while Melania was in tears, & not of joy.

In summation: Trump didn't want to be President, didn't expect to win the election, & doesn't enjoy being President.

I agree with almost all these points. His campaign started as a PR stunt to make money and attract attention. Trump definitely didn't launch the campaign to actually win and be prez, but now that he's in office, he enjoys being prez for his ego, which is also why he's running for reelection. What he doesn't enjoy is making international trips, spending time in meetings and reading stuff like intel briefings. He clearly enjoys running 4 prez, use the office to enrich himself, go after his opponents and attract attention in a 24 hrs news cycle.

[Sir Mohamed]

Bumping this: CNN's Chris Cillizza in his recent The Point episode suggests Mr. Trump might run again 4 prez in 2024 if he loses this year. Tbh, I wouldn't be that surprised if he stepped down after losing without much controversy, but just never stops campaigning and goes for 2024. Given the state of the Republican Party, they could very well nominate him again.

No, he doesn't run again. He's never understood or appreciated how hard the job actually is, and it's widely known that he hates it because of that. He was lucky that until this year, the economy was good and there weren't any major external crises that he had to deal with.

If this was the case, he'd declare victory and that the swamp has been drained and retire without seeking reelection. He doesn't care much whether or not the job is hard. He's not doing much other than damage. He spent more time golfing than anyone else. He's an extreme attention wh*** and would do everything to get back in the spotlight once he lost. He can't let a defeat stand and will declare it the result of rigging and fraud.
