The words coming out of his mouth aren’t even worth the paper they’re printed on
What if they were on toilet paper? I think there’s value there…
at least i can wipe my ass with toilet paper
Yea but if someone writes on toilet paper it is probably gonna be ripped. So at that point it is worthless unless you like shit on your fingers.
He said that about 2024 in 2020, but here he is. Did he forget because of dementia or is he just a liar?
It is an abuser tactic, silent treatment or withholding affection if he doesn't get what he wants. I guess that might work on his cult even if it has the opposite effect on people with multiple brain cells.
If he is alive in 2028 he will run again. Hopefully he is in prison by then.
My evaluation is that Trump will be less capable of doing the work of campaigning and people will be less interested.
He'd be 82, and the implication is that the country would have just had 4 years of a relatively young, female President.
He doesn't sound like a viable candidate at all in that scenario. (Not that he's a viable candidate now and they still ran him, so I guess all bets are off anyway)
He also said he’d “disappear” if he lost the 2020 election. At this rate the only way we will stop hearing about him is when he dies, and yet Im sure once we are rid of his existence, the deranged cultists will continue to believe he still stalks the earthly realm.
You know someone already has a AI trained on all his speeches and body language. There will be so many deep fans out there after his death it'll be like all the Binladen videos that were found of him before seal team 6 found him.
I imagine the SI videos will all have a simple background of an obvious bathroom wall, where you can tell he's on the shitter, all the low flow toilet talk will set the location. A bucket KCF next to him with a diet Coke he will do all his greatest hits, the wall, hillary, biden, his dick, how smart he is bc his uncle was a Professor at MIT, he is treated unfairly, ect, ect.
That's what he said last time. Only two things will actually stop him: the death of the Republican Party or his own
Let's leave that up to the states.
I'm just surprised that he admitted to possibly losing
He didn't really though. The headline makes it sound like Trump said "I won't run again if I lose." But that's not the case. The exchange was actually:
Interviewer: If you're not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?
Trump: No I don't. I think that will be... uhh... that will be it. I don't see that at all. Hopefully we're going to be successful.
Last time he said he'd leave the country and we'd never hear from him again if he lost.
Yet here we are.
I thought the election is “stolen” if he should lose.
Hopefully he won't be alive by then.
Otherwise, I'd trust him keeping his word on this as much as I'd trust him in general: not at all
Come on, name one time he's ever lied before. You can't even name two. There's not even a dozen times. Certainly it's less than a hundred? A thousand?
ETA: Wikipedia says it's nearly 31000 just while he was president
You can't name just one time he lied because if you refer to any specific statement he's made, it contains at least two lies.
I refuse to do the math to be sure, but if we extrapolate how many times per day he's publicly lied in recent years with the number of days he's been alive, we're probably talking millions of lies overall lol
Don't worry, the wiki nerds have been keeping a list.

It is hilarious to me that there's an encyclopedia entry for this. MAGA probably already thinks Wikipedia is woke trash or whatever.
Oh, they've thought Wikipedia was what they now call "woke trash" for decades. That's why Conservapedia was a thing.
The fact that you need to make an encyclopedia to present a conservative point of view is just so, so telling. Just presenting facts should be sufficient, but facts are notoriously liberal, so...
It'll be difficult to run for president inside a cell.
Eugene V. Debs did it, but he was a man of considerably greater conviction than Trump.
Difficult but not illegal or impossible.
And that's assuming that he'll ever see consequences anywhere near that magnitude for his many crimes. Which is unlikely.
I'm sure a decent amount of people would still vote for him despite him being in jail. If there's box for him on the ballot, they'd probably even vote him after he died.
Some of these people still struggle with object permanence though. There will be no rallies, softball interviews, debates, etc. he will just fade away in their minds.
Considering his mental decline in the last four years, in 2028, he will only be able to get on a stage and shit himself. And people will still vote for him.
He can do that today, and it would be the most pleasant thing to ever come out of him on stage.
His voters will vote for him even if he was dead and mummified. A Trump holographic AI could probably have a chance in 2028!
Considering his mental decline in the last four years, in ~~2028~~ 2024, he will only be able to get on a stage and shit himself. And people will still vote for him.
FTFY
Trump says a lot of things.
So he's signaling his potential supporters "it's now or never"... again.
Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.
He also said he wouldn’t run again if he lost to Biden 4 years ago. Why does anyone believe a single word that comes out of his shithole of a mouth?
Because he thinks he won and the election was stolen, not that he lost to Biden. (I wish I could put a /s on this, but I think it may be too close to the truth)
