    Hopefully he’s dead (from natural causes) or in jail (from natural consequences).

    if he wins in 2024, he’ll run in 2028, and 2032, etc. He’ll win those with 99% of the vote, just like his buddy Putin.

    If he’s not dead of course he would, he’s a malignant narcissist that we’re going to be dealing with until he croaks.

    Lose? Nah. If he doesn’t win the election, we’ll get Insurrection 2.0. Then he’s either imprisoned, dead, or we get to live in a dictatorship.

    Hopefully he’s died of a massive burger induced heart problem

      I wouldn’t be surprised if both Trump and Biden die of natural causes in September/October, throwing the November election into chaos as no one has anyone to vote for anymore.

      It’s just the sort of chaos this timeline seems to crave.

        It might be an okay outcome. No T means split R vote and no B means Kamala becomes first female president. Maybe she runs again, maybe there’s a new nominee.

        I don’t think much changes other than losing the spearhead of the MAGA bullshit, although someone will inevitably take that place.

        Thankfully I don’t have that worry with Biden. He’s quite fit and healthy, in great shape considering his age. So he has far great chances of surviving each day.

          Being fit and healthy doesn’t really exclude much at that age, anything can happen.

          My grandpa was fit as a fiddle at 86 outside gardening everyday, then got kidney cancer and a bunch of other stuff all at once, pretty much bedridden within a year.

    He seems like he’s deteriorating rapidly, would be surprised if he made it to 2028. I expect if he loses in 2024 he won’t run again but will keep conning his followers for money and repeating the stale line that he never lost even when he did.

    Remember: narcissists are psychologically incapable of imagining themselves no longer existing. He thinks he’ll live forever because he literally can’t conceive of any other possibility.

    I hope he will be running from a psycho with a shank at ADX Florence in 2028. There’s a decent chance he will be dead in 2028 though. He’s not exactly the picture of fitness and good health. He’s an old, fat pig who lives on junk food.

    More seriously, he has zero chance in 2028 if he loses in 2024, which is almost certainly what will happen. He’s been decisively rejected by voters once already. I find it hard to believe he has won over any new voters with his behavior since the last election.

    Or maybe the government will step up and treat him like the terrorist that he is. If it was anyone else, they’d be waterboarding him with Diet Coke at Guantanamo right now. I mean, he’s openly calling for states to send the National Guard to Texas to fight the federal government. This fucker is on trial for insurrection and he’s out trying to incite another insurrection. Holy shit.

    He’s had his deranged followers make threats against judges, prosecutors, federal agents, etc. He’s threatened his opponent in the primaries with a federal investigation if she doesn’t drop out of the race. He’s threatened her donors.

    This dude is straight up nuts. I think it’s a legitimate question whether he’s eventually detained for the safety of the public pending his trials. At what point do the feds have an obligation to protect the country from this lunatic?

    Forget about him and 2028. He might not even make it through 2024.

  • I’d bet if he loses in '24 his health will start declining quickly and will use health related reasons as a means to avoid punishment for crimes committed.

    Trump appears to be suffering from a serious cognitive decline since he was last president. He was never the sharpest spoon in the drawer, but it’s bad now. If he’s still alive in five years, I don’t think he’ll be capable of doing anything other than drooling on himself.

      That sort of does not answer the question, seeing some US senators in the news that are barely pushed around.

        Trump is old. Republicans have been stressing how old Biden is–and using his life-long speech impediment as evidence–but Trump trails Biden by only four years of age. They’re both at an age where you start seeing a sharp divergence in cognitive abilities, where some people take a nosedive into dementia and senility, while other people retain their mental faculties while their body fails. Trump seems to be the former.

      Wishful thinking but the elites don’t mingle with the prolies, even if they are loyal idiots. I agree with Trump hopefully being dead by then. My guess is another DeSantis campaign but with some weird Trump martyrdom elements tbh. The cumulative conservative seething that 4 more years of Biden coupled with the death of their God Emperor will produce will rally them more than we’ve ever seen, I believe

      my guess is that in that situation all of the trump sycophants will be so fractured trying to attract the cult that they won’t gain enough support to mount a meaningful challenge. they’ll be too busy knifing each other in the back. I’ve never seen game of thrones, but I hear that’s how a lot of it went.
