So is you-know-who back in the running?

[Coola Yagami]

So who's watching or waiting to watch the Orange Man's mystery announcement?

[ChosenOne]

The Man has spoken! 2024, here we come!

[Andrew NDB]

I don't even see him winning, let alone that being an overall constructive presidency. A lot of conservatives will just stay home and vote for nobody than more Trump.

[Roseangelo]

I'm not a Trump hater, but I never voted for the guy. And still won't. Also won't vote for Biden or any other Democrat. Sooo... yeah.

[Autbot_Benz]

Trump isn't gonna be president again. Most Republicans are sick of his MAGA BS.

But It will be a good laugh to see him fail again.

[Coola Yagami]

Won't vote for neither Trump or Biden.

Only thing I agree with him is that we can't take 4 more years of Biden.

[neatoman]

I think the real question is if the Republicans ever to be represented by him again.

Spoiler Alert:

Election night 2024: Trump is winning bigly, then suddenly the count stops, still counting ballots for another week. Then… Biden easily wins re-election.

Seriously, does Trump even have a chance with all the election fraud that’s been happening? We all saw what just happened in Arizona, Katie Hobbs didn’t even bother to campaign or debate, vote counts stalled for a week, then she wins and certifies her own election. Conflict of interest much? The fix is in. They got away with it in 2020, they got away with in in 2022. 2024 will be the same, unless Florida’s election laws are made national.

[Coola Yagami]

Will they even work together? Several Trump supporters were seen stomping all over DeSantis signs. However, the Democrats, whether they're woke or not, are all pretty much united against both Trump and DeSantis.

[ChosenOne]

Trump-DeSantis would be a dream ticket. Biden's fraudulent election got us to where we are today, not just America but the whole world. He must be removed, for all our sakes.

[Coola Yagami]

Not so, because they want Trump OR DeSantis, not both of them side by side. This might get ugly for the Republicans.

[Andrew NDB]

The cons to DeSantis as VP would be that it would be an ineffectual role. Also that it would deprive him from Florida and who knows how strong of a replacement they would end up with. The pros to DeSantis as VP would be more votes from people who really love DeSantis yet dislike Trump, also that it would groom him for a proper presidential run in 2028.

Just euuuughhh, though. I already see it happening on social media. Friends now piping up with "if you believe in Trump, unfriend me now!" and so on. It's already starting again. More years of this stuff to be looked forward to now.

Do you think that would work? Grooming is usually more of a leftist thing.

I guess, but to be honest, it never stopped. I mean, 2 years later and grandpa still isn't welcome at Thanskgiving or Christmas dinner for who he voted for in 2016. They want to do a Covid Amnesty but no one's talking about a 206 Election Amnesty.

[1987]

Thought I heard some rumor that Trump was gonna pick a woman as his running mate VP, that it was gonna be Kari Lake but the loss in Arizona probably didn’t help that. Also heard talks about MTG as running mate but the left would just lose it.

[Cowabung-Gal]

Oh, boy…

Red dots will appear on Trump’s back again for sure.

[Leo656]

This idiot has officially lost his mind. Did he forget this was all a scam about a book deal that got way the f*ck out of hand? The hell does he think he's doing?

It's pretty well-known that Biden isn't even gonna run again after his four years are up, so what's gonna happen is, the fractured Republican base is gonna stick us with President F*cking Harris because ain't no chance Trump wins and all the infighting among other candidates is going to leave the entire Republican party looking weak.

So we're gonna be stuck with Heels-Up Harris as President because this idiot wants to split the Republican vote. Thanks a lot, Donnie, you complete f*cking toolbox. He's pretty much guaranteed and gift-wrapped a Democrat victory. There are a ton of Republicans who want no part in any more "civil war" nonsense and are sick of all the impotent screeching about "stolen elections". What we saw in the midterms was a move away from extremism on both sides of the aisle; people overwhelmingly rejected most of the "extreme" candidates in favor of more moderate ones (I am aware there are exceptions to this, don't @ me). People are generally sick and tired of "politics as a blood sport" because they see how it hasn't gotten anyone anywhere. It's all just a bunch of noise.

I knew the guy was lost in his own little world but I had no idea he was this out of touch. This is the worst long-term tantrum/meltdown in the history of the world. Someone needs to build this guy a giant f*cking playpen so he can go f*ck around over there and let actual grown-ups do the actual grown-up stuff.

lmao you're acting as if those red dots ever really left. Dude's been considered enemy number one since he announced his first run for presidency in 2016.

I think that while he was more than likely going to bow out not-so-gracefully after this term, there will be a big push to put Biden back in there now. After all, for better or worse he was Kryptonite to Trump in 2020.

Or something.

Eh. Basically. Though I admit, I'm not sure how this works. If Biden bows out, like, at the 2024 election, that doesn't automatically mean Harris would be the defacto democrat nominee, right? And she's horribly unpopular even with her own party and even a lot of the crazier people on the left. The only path to a Harris presidency I see is if Biden keels over sometime before then.

The best thing he could have done was sit back and support, from a comfortable distance, whoever the republican candidate for 2024 would end up being. That way you get the Trump voters and you don't (hopefully) get all the hysteria with it.

Though I don't put a huge amount of confidence that -- no matter who the republican pick would be, if it wasn't Trump -- would just end up, bolstered by the media, on some circus about "so-and-so is even WORSE than Trump! Democracy is at an end if he wins!" And so on. But at least there'd be a chance, you know?

eh, they were pretty much already getting ready to pull the whole 'EVEN WORSE THAT TRUMP!!!111' thing on DeSantis as is. Until a few months ago, we were all assuming Trump wouldn't run again and DeSantis was sure to the Republican candidate so there were already minor hit-pieces here and there going with the 'he was gonna exactly like or even worse than Trump' narrative,so yeah.

Trump gave the left the perfect scapegoat for everything. Bush Jr was incompetent but nobody even remembers him anymore. Now it's all Trump, Trump, Trump, and even if he loses this term or even wins and is finally over and done with, they'll still compare whoever the next Republican candidate in 2028 to him.

The left is obsessed with Hitler, and Trump has become their modern day equivalent.
