    I would personally enjoy the only article about him ever reaching headline status again being his obituary.

    But we all know that even if he loses he will try and run again if he isn’t locked up. He will cry about stolen elections til the day he dies. Even of the Republican leaders try to divorce themselves from him, he will run independent. And a significant amount of the maga movement will follow him there.

      We need another seven for his convictions and sentencing.

      Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but with the amount he seems to have declined in the last few years both physically and mentally, I can’t imagine he will be capable in any capacity of running again.

        I agree, but I also thought so 8 years ago.

        Man, so much faith in so many things lost in 8 years…

        Edit: like, I thought - apparently completely mistakenly - that even if we disagreed on a lot of things, the majority of Republican voters had some form of morals that they followed, some amount of integrity. Fucking sucks that they absolutely don’t.

      Assuming he actually loses in November (which we all have to hope for to protect US democracy), this scenario, and especially him constantly running as a third party candidate till the day he dies, would lead to a lasting split in the GOP for the foreseeable future - I’m actually not against this outcome in any way!

        Kind of foreseeable since he likely won’t live another 10 years and there’s no real personality cult to replace him.

            There’s no shortage of contenders, but they all seem pretty niche in terms of popularity so far. It’s not going to be any of Trump’s shitty kids.

              My grandma is all in on Trump Jr. She says he’s handsome. Hard barf.

                It sucks when our relatives suck.
