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.

1. In 2028, I think it would have to be the ghost of Donald Trump running.

[Oopsie Daisy]

43. I'm fine with that.

[Different Drummer]

2. He has to be defeated in 2024 and, imo, he will be. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Sounds like the orange Sh*thead is all but turning off the lights.

He sounds confused, demoralized, tired, irritated. He doesn't speak, he brays

TSF is a SF.

[calimary]

50. "He brays"! I LOVE that! He sure does.

He brays! What a GREAT description, bucolic_frolic!

[bucolic_frolic]

51. lol, thanks

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!!!

[calimary]

52. Having had a career in radio, it matters to me.

Yes. You nailed it (but you forgot the “whiny-ass”).

[bucolic_frolic]

53. lol, that's a good one too, calimary! /nt

[J_William_Ryan]

4. I don't believe him - Trump is dishonest and a liar.

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.

It’s certainly foolish to believe that a Trump loss this year would be the end of the malignancy that is Trump.

[moreland01]

12. Not to mention

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]

14. I've always thought grifting for campaign millions was his main motive

... 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.

[msfiddlestix]

49. Exactly. I always thought the grift was the point along with avoiding criminal convictions.prison and mega fines.

losing everything he "owns" etc.

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]

5. This is a ruse

He plans to have no election in 2028. He's said so at least.

[bdamomma]

8. Well

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!!!!!

[mdbl]

10. It's the only way we'll get justice

We sure aren't getting it from the courts. Jury did their job, judge f'd it up.

[Novara]

6. LIAR

The only way he'll stop is if he is dead.

[AZ8theist]

32. Exactly

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

[surfered]

7. Well if he loses in November, it would be too hard to run in 2028 from jail.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

9. TFG will flee the country if he loses

TFG is running for POTUS to stay out of prison

TFG last night discussed fleeing to Venezuela if he losses

Link to tweet

https://www.alternet.org/trump-musk-venezuela/

Legal experts jumped on Trump suggesting a trip to Venezuela, especially given his status as a convicted criminal awaiting sentencing.

“Trump is a convicted felon to be sentenced in a month and he’s 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 isn’t amenable to Probation’s 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

Link to tweet

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

[mdbl]

11. I expect him to be in jail after Nov 26

A convicted felon belongs there. Someone tell the corrupt judges.

[FakeNoose]

13. Maybe he'll croak ... "I'm done!"

[SouthBayDem]

15. I'll believe it when I see it nt

[republianmushroom]

16. The convicted felon should be in prison in 2028.

AS he should be now. More foot dragging ???

44 months and counting (includes foot dragging)

[louis-t]

17. And if you believe that, I've got some shares of

truth social to sell you. Oh wait, he'll be in prison.

[IbogaProject]

18. He lies all the time, why repeat it?

Seriously, not newsworthy.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Every major news source is reporting it

[IbogaProject]

20. I was criticizing the media

I wasnt criticizing you.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. I know

but they seem to feel the need to fill column inches with something... It was actually a rare day for them to do it.

[llmart]

22. Every major news source...

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.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Well I would think that most of DU

would rather be in the front row to see the perp walk long before 2028 in any case.

[llmart]

24. Can't wait for that day.

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.

[PatrickforB]

30. Yes, my post below aside, Trump really IS too dangerous to be walking around free. n/t

[BobsYourUncle]

44. Put me down for

two balcony seats. I’d rather not be too close.

[LudwigPastorius]

25. "I don't see that (another presidential campaign) at all."

That's because, if he wins, he won't leave the White House.

[Martin68]

26. Who gives a fuck what trump says. If his lips are moving, he's lying.

[LilElf70]

39. Here ya go

[Firestorm49]

27. The asshole probably knows that he'll still be in jail

or one can only hope.

[peppertree]

31. Or his ashes in the Palm Beach sewers

Because he can bet that's where Melania will throw them.

[Cadfael]

28. Promises, promises

We can but hope I guess

[PatrickforB]

29. Do you ever wonder if Trump thinks about his own death. After all, it is a dance every single one of us will

do in the end.

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?

[niyad]

33. All TRAITOR** does is lie, so why would I believe him about his?

Besides, if we are very lucky, he will not be wasting oxygenn in 2028, or next year.

[Orrex]

34. Maybe he'll just fucking die already.

Countless good people have died in their 40s, 50s and 60s, but this festering orange prolapse keeps on going like big shit boulder rolling down a hill.

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

[Aussie105]

35. So tired of this clown . . .

Can't we just give him a 'Well Done!' badge and a few million dollars to get him to just leave the country?

[riversedge]

36. It has always been my thought-in fact I have written it here, that the nanosecond that Harris

is sworn in Jan 2025, #Trump will announce that he is running once again for President.
I still think that. We shall see.

[cstanleytech]

37. Assuming he doesn't have a stroke which given his mental health issues, age and weight are very likely.

[BlueWavePsych]

38. Yah, right!

[MistakenLamb]

40. Well he will be in prison for that election so it would be immensely hard to campaign

[HarryM]

41. I'll believe it when I see it

Or he is dead

[Ray Bruns]

42. He also said Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

How did that work out?

[Javaman]

45. I have this belief he's planning something. I do believe he will lose but roger stone has been awfully quiet lately

these two assholes are cooking something up after he loses.

[BumRushDaShow]

46. "roger stone has been awfully quiet lately"

Maybe because of this - https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/12/politics/trump-campaign-hack-personal-email-account-fbi/index.html

[4catsmom]

47. just cash out of your Truth Social stock and go away now

while you can get some money and skip the country while you're still a free man. We'll even give you a head start. Just DON'T COME BACK

[Escape]

48. sigh.......

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.
