One way or the other, 2024 will be Donald Trump's last presidential campaign, he says.
The former president and GOP presidential nominee said he will not run again in 2028 if he loses this November, in an interview aired Sunday on the television show Full Measure.
"No, I don't," Trump told host Sharyl Attkisson, when asked if he thought a fourth campaign was in the cards. "I think that that will be, that will be it. I don't see that at all."
Trump's success in politics began with his defeat of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. He then lost his bid for reelection in 2020 and now faces Vice President Kamala Harris in an attempt to win back the White House. Trump would be 82 in November 2028.

(47,578 posts)That throaty, raspy, slow, grating voice of discontent and disapproval and irritation and condescension, slinging the words from side to side. You know what I mean? Does that capture his style, method, technique, demeanor? What a SF TSF is!!!

(84,607 posts)Yes. You nailed it (but you forgot the whiny-ass).

(2,264 posts)Driven by arrogance and a lust for revenge particularly losing to a woman of color Trump will at least make noise about running again in 2028.
Its certainly foolish to believe that a Trump loss this year would be the end of the malignancy that is Trump.

(834 posts)he has to say he's running starting in Feb 2025 so that he can call all of the legal cases against him "election interference". Right?
FakeNoose
(36,003 posts)... but you may be right. Revenge is another strong motive.
Democrats need a period of de-Chumpifying after this election is finally over. We need to enjoy "life without Chump" and it should happen real soon. How can we ever miss him, if he won't go away?
Personally I don't think I'll ever miss him.

But the GReedia broadcasters wanted a big bite of that pie, so they enabled this freak, serving up a platform for their share of the $$$$.
Turbineguy
(38,502 posts)He plans to have no election in 2028. He's said so at least.
TSF said to his cult they will not need to Vote again. Sounds like a dictatorship to me.
When we fight, we win.
Let's kick him in his fat ass with our VOTES!!!!!

If he wins, there won't be an election in 2028. He will be a fascist dictator with no need to run useless elections

TFG last night discussed fleeing to Venezuela if he losses

Trump is a convicted felon to be sentenced in a month and hes talking about fleeing to a country that refuses US extradition requests, observed MSNBC legal analyst Kristy Greenberg, a former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief. Anyone else would be in jail. Trump is showing yet again that he isnt amenable to Probations supervision and must be sentenced to jail time.
There are countries where TFG could flee which do not have an extradition treaty with the US

If TFG loses, TFG will do what he can to avoid jail.

(16,331 posts)reports every freakin' fart that comes out of this compulsive liar's orange anus mouth, so I take it with a grain of salt and a whole heap of disbelief of anything he says.

(144,199 posts)would rather be in the front row to see the perp walk long before 2028 in any case.
llmart
(16,331 posts)I still doubt he'll do any jail time or be perp walked or made to wear orange. If anything he'll get a stay at a luxury prison.

This really is what makes him stink of desperation. I mean, if we could only see the real truth, it would change the direction of our whole species.
We are born. We live. Then we cast off these clay vessels and move on to the next great adventure. I know that now, entering my late sixties I think often of this. Oh, it doesn't bother me - my own demise. Not at all.
What bothers me is the spiritual blindness that radiates from the bronze bull of Wall Street. It is the idol of this nation, and it is based on illusion.
What if we understood our own mortality, and lived for others instead of ourselves?
What if we organized ourselves so that everyone on earth is able to experience the profound peace of having enough?
What if we organized ourselves so that we so value this earth that we exercise real stewardship over it so our grandkids, their children and their grandchildren will inheret a planet even more beautiful and abundant than the one we were born into.
Oh, I know I am an idealist. I am definitely guilty on that score. It is just that, when I think about what is versus what could be, it irks me that our species has not yet grown up. We act like a bunch of five year olds fighting on a playground.
It's mine! No it's mine. I know...we'll have a war! That will produce profits! The Street will love it!
John Lennon said it: "Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."
Don't get me wrong - Harris and Walz are fine. They are real, genuine. If she wins and we carry the Senate and House both, she will usher in a new New Deal and save the liberal democracies for another fifty years.
But my question remains. When will we ever be mature enough as a species to see beyond our fears? When when will be be able to get beyond pride, anger, greed, envy, and all the rest of the self-centeredness that plagues us?
When will the refrain, "Me! Me! Me!!!" change to "We, we, we!" Will we be able to see before we destroy ourselves?
I wonder, don't you?

This nation will see no greater day than the day on which he finally keels over from natural causes.

(72 posts)He will be very busy in November, December and January starring in his new "The ELECTION WAS RIGGED TOUR", but he will begin talking about running for president again along about February-----with a new line of gaudy TRUMP '28 gear.
His punishment for 34 felony convictions and a lifetime of crime, will be a monetary slap on the wrist, sternly "suggested" by our Dept of Sorta Justice. He will appeal the punishment indefinitely.
The media will follow his every move like a love sick teenage stalker.
We will all die before he does.
