Donald Trump said in an interview released on Sunday that he did not think he would run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year’s race for the White House.
In an interview on the Full Measure television show with Sharyl Attkisson, the former US president – who ran in 2016 and 2020 – was asked whether he saw himself running yet again in four years time.
“No, I don’t,” Trump answered. “I don’t see that at all.”
He said: “Hopefully, we’re going to be successful.”
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.
Well, yes. Trump Lies. We all know that. One can only hope that his ongoing mental breakdown will be clearly visible by them even to the hardcore fans of him.

it doesn’t matter what’s “visible” when your entire reality is fabricated by trump, fox news, and your safe space private far-right facebook group
Well, if he continues on the current slope, Trump will not be able to fabricate anything much longer. Even Fox “News” has problems loving him anymore. The third “piller of reality” will take a bit longer to fall, true.
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)
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, if you count false or misleading, still more than 5000/2.5 yr if you only count outright falsehoods.
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.
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.
Eugene V. Debs did it, but he was a man of considerably greater conviction than Trump.
Somehow my response wound up as a Direct comment.
I’m just surprised that he admitted to possibly losing
I thought the election is “stolen” if he should lose.
Last time he said he’d leave the country and we’d never hear from him again if he lost.
Yet here we are.
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.
…. losing again
He’ll be dead, hopefully
From indisputably natural causes. I would love for the martyrdom and conspiracy theories to be optimally minimized. Cultists do scary shit to the general population, and I’d rather that they just get bored and move on to the next grift to be victimized by since they’re clearly not interested in not being targeted rubes. The persecution complex is an inherent chunk of their entire identity.
I want him to cark it on stage from something like getting struck by lightning.
I also wonder if the secret service would notice if I snuck some giant tesla coils onto his rally stage. maybe a big red button on the podium that flips them back on?
That button should be on his lectern and it should say TRUMP so he’ll do the honors himself.
“Do Not Push”
for plausible deniability.
The most poetic death for trump would be to suffer a stroke at one of his rallies. The stroke hits and he begins to mix up words and blather nonsense. He can sense something is wrong but his bigly words are not working, he tries to tell his faithful what’s happening.
The meschia and windmilths are shooo shlaaaaad
He slurs out, those weren’t the words he wanted, but with neurons misfiring the most used pathways are trying to help. He spends minutes, all recorded for history, dying in front of his bored onlookers unable to ask for help. His years of word salad and lies have finally achieved an awful goal, no one can tell his brain is broken. For this boy that cried wolf a million times, finally the fangs of an enemy he can’t bully or bribe have sunk in deep, years of kfc fried chicken grease now blocking bloodflow to his brain.
It’s only been a few minutes, the crowd awaits some applause or laugh line, but for trump the time feels like an eternity. The pain is increasing, the fear all consuming, he collapses and dies there.
A fitting end to the man whose greatest fear was that people would realize his weird incoherent ramblings were a con.
That’s one way, yes
Personally. The one he deserves is a death in prison, living long enough to see himself forgotten by the world at large.
Ignored, remembered only as a bad taste in one’s mouth, and by history teachers who take a day to mention how awful he was, before moving on to the red scare or something.
From indisputably natural causes. I would love for the martyrdom and conspiracy theories to be optimally minimized
Unfortunately, the most likely one is a heart attack caused by his 8 decades of unhealthy living finally catching up with him and since there’s TONS of things that can cause a heart attack, the cult would DEFINITELY declare foul play.
Also, if anything that can’t be induced kills him, they’re just gonna figuratively stick their fingers in their ears and make up another cause of death that fits their narrative of him being a martyr murdered by the Deep State because he was a threat. Heads they believe it’s murder, tails they don’t believe it isn’t murder.
What would be ideal would be for him to suffer a debilitating stroke or something else that leaves him so enfeebled that even the cult can’t pretend that he’s almighty. Preferably some time before the election.
Not something I’d wish on basically anyone else, but that monster has shed any pretense of human compassion and self-awareness decades ago, so fuck him with a rusty rail spike.
Yeah, Scalia died peacefully in his sleep, and there were tons of conspiracy theories about it. The kind of theories that allowed Mitch McConnell to have the political capital to hold open the position until Trump was in office.
Or in prison.
Honestly I think that if he lost the election, and was incarcerated even under home arrest with no access to his fans, he would more or less immediately become irrelevant, and he would grow frail very quickly.
Imagine how miserable that would be for him. His own personal hell.
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.
Yeah, he said this before:
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.
Considering his mental decline in the last four years, in
20282024, he will only be able to get on a stage and shit himself. And people will still vote for him.FTFY
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!
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.
So he’s signaling his potential supporters “it’s now or never”… again.
Trump says a lot of things.
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)
The words coming out of his mouth aren’t even worth the paper they’re printed on
Datacenters that process news about Trump have a higher failure rate.
(You can’t deny the facts I make up)
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.
Speaking of… The guy who hired the truck with ‘LOSER’ emblazoned on its side to patrol the white house in 2019, how do I get in on that action this time round, say, in Florida?
I’d much rather chip in to get a billboard that says “Ha Hah!” That’s visible from his prison cell.
Give me a salary, and I’ll show up everyday outside the fence of the prison yard, and the entire time he’s out there, I’ll hurl nonstop insults and heckling his way.
“hey, here’s mr. dipshit himself! is that your prison boyfriend? how’s that cell treatin you, dumbass? God what a pathetic loser! walkin around alone again, huh? where’s melania? barron still hasn’t shown up? dang, nobody out here even talks about you anymore, how neat is that? Diddy gets more mail from his victims than you do period! they composted all your merchandise, mixed it with pig shit, and it’s a great fertilizer, who’da thunk your bullshit would ever amount to something useful? druuuuuuuuuuuumpf. druuuuuuuuuuuuuumpf. loser couldn’t make money off a casino his daddy bought’im! druuuuuuuuuuuuumpf. missing your gold toilet loser? yum this mcdonalds burger is soooooo good, maybe if you’re good all year they might let work at one!”
I can go all day
That’s what he said last time. Only two things will actually stop him: the death of the Republican Party or his own
