Donald Trump Doesn’t ‘See’ Himself Running in 2028
Trump turns 82 in 2028.
Former President Donald Trump told Sharyl Attkisson he probably won’t run in 2028 if he loses in November:
SHARYL ATTKISSON: If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?
DONALD TRUMP: No, I don’t. No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all. I think that hopefully we’re gonna be successful.

Trump turns 82 in 2028.
I don’t see him backing away from politics, though, especially since his daughter-in-law is co-chair of the RNC.

Silly question since he won’t be able to run for a third term, unlike Barry Hussein!
The question wasn’t about a 3rd term.
She did say, “If you’re unsuccessful this time.”
Still a silly question 😂😂
Even if he were talking about a third term, you’d still be wrong, because supposing he does win this year, and supposing in four years he’s still with it and wants a third term, he would be able to run for one the same way you claim Barry did, i.e. by putting up a stooge.
Nothing in the constitution would prevent him from campaigning on the basis that he would still be calling the shots for as long as he was able, and would gradually transition decision making to the new president as he felt his powers waning and as he saw the new guy doing well.
Melania for President!
Not Melania, since she’s not a natural-born citizen, but he could choose any eligible person he liked.
Henry, let’s be honest here…she wouldn’t be the first FLOTUS to be running the country COUGH Dr Jill COUGH 😂
This is pretty dumb even for you Justice Millhouse 😂😂
You’re the one who’s being dumb here. It was a reasonable question and a reasonable answer. Your response, turning “third term” into a metaphorical reference to acting as an eminence grise in a future administration, is truly dumb. The conversation was not about that, but nothing will prevent Trump from doing that if he likes.
I think this is Trump’s concession speech. God help us all, and we should all hope and pray for Desantis in 4 years.
I told you to quit upvoting yourself, concern troll.
He’s demurring because he knows he will lose this election and would be up against the even more formidable Queen Latifah in 2028.
If Trump loses this one, there won’t be anything to run for in four years (other than the hills).
You won’t have much left to crow over with another term of Democrats in charge sweetie 😂😂
Mr. male person. I am to the right of John Birch, but this joker is losing.
Agree. There is no evidence of any material get out the vote Republican operation. If they have not lerned how to run a modern campaign and this is just another campaign like 2022, which was supposed to be a Red Wave, they will get a similar result. Two other things are that the Dems seem to have much more money to spend and Trump may lose NC due to the disaster of a Governor candidate running. From my perspective, the only hope for the country to avoid total catastrophe is to win the Senate.
wouldn’t shock me if Trump steps down after 2 years, giving Vance 10 years
anyone that says Trump hasn’t lost a step is not paying attention
contrary to popular “knowledge’. the movement is important to this man
Well, he won’t be able to run in 2028 because there would be no United States left to run for. Maybe he could be the first president of the newly formed United Constitutional Republic.
Still, he’ll be old, man. Vance does show promise.
As a second term VP to Death Santis 😂
This guy gets such a bad rap, probably the worst in American history, from some of the most un-American people to come down the pike.
A lot of it is self-inflicted. He is the most undisciplined presidential candidate I have seen in what after this November will be 48 years of voting in presidential elections. It is why I have cast write-in votes since 2016. I am usually a policy guy, so to nix Trump on character grounds is a real exception for me.
Of course, as a WA State voter, I have the luxury in a way of being able to wallow in self-righteousness. No way will ANY Republican get this state’s EVs in my remaining lifetime. It’s been 40 years since that happened, and back then the state wasn’t nearly as liberal as it is today.
Nope. Mean tweets do not account for or justify the abuse of power.
My issue was never with “mean tweets.”
That summarizes what self-inflicted undisciplined is mostly about for most. What he says, not What he does.
No, I really don’t think “mean tweets” are the issue for voters on the bubble. Trump has always been Archie Bunker Trump, the Rodeo Clown from Queens, and it worked (barely) in 2016, failed in 2020, and worked against Senile Joe this year. But it is not working against Kamelatoe, because unlike the Hildebeast or Joe, she is an unknown quantity or has been until lately.
When I say an unknown quantity, I am not talking about the stalwarts on both sides, but entirely about voters on the bubble, maybe 10% or so and dwindling. Trump’s personal attacks have backfired, IMO, and I won’t be surprised if they cause him to lose by making her look like a victim.
Make no mistake, I have NOTHING good to say about her. I think she’s not only a lying snake, but that she has the I.Q. of a Golden Retriever. But, like the stalwarts, I have paid attention throughout. That 10% is people who are tuned out for all kinds of reasons, and they haven’t known her at all.
At the superficial p.r. level, she’s been playing a damn good poker game, full of bluffing that (surprise, surprise) the media are letting her get away with. Trump is assuming that what he did to the Hildebeast and Senile Joe will work again, and for all I know it might.
But consider the alternative. He had a pretty good R convention, and a lot to work with: the economy, the open border, crime. What has he done? Played the Insult Monkey trick again. If he loses the election, it will be his own doing. Trump has always been an unguided missile, but even by his own standards this has been political malpractice on steroids.
I don’t want to see President Kamalatoe, but if that’s what we get I will laugh at Trump and his whining. Same goes for the Rs in the House if they don’t suck it up and pass a continuing resolution, and in doing so lose the slim majority there and maybe even throw away the Senate.
Hate me, folks, I know some of you will, but I am thoroughly unimpressed with Trump and the Rs. They just might wind up snatching defeat from the jaws of what should have been a definitive victory. I hope I am wrong.
By the way, in 2008, I predicted Obama’s EC total on the nose. I do not bullshit myself about any of this stuff, which makes me inconvenient to all stalwarts on both sides. Objectivity is a bitch.
Considering the gamut the man must run, how can you be anything other than impressed? Not to mention his actual record of success as president. The expectations are crazy and unrealistic. If Independents want to be dupes and not see through Harris, it’s not Trump’s fault.
It is Trump’s job to appeal to the 10% on their terms and not his own. He exited the R convention with the elements of a definitive victory, frittered it away with discursive attacks on Harris. Look, I understand it, but “politics ain’t beanbag,” to quote a 129-year-old quip.
If you somehow think that the 10% will sit and weigh and analyze this shit like you do, then you are way out to lunch. I ask: How many votes did the Rodeo Clown From Queens gain with his Insult Monkey routine?
Maybe this is a matter of my having lived in the Midwest for 26 years, the East for 11 years, and the West for 30 years, and having traveled to all 50 states with something of a gift for talking to anyone about anything.
Most people are EXHAUSTED by this shit, and hunger for at least the illusion of normalcy, whatever that is. Trump offers combat, It worked in ’16 and this June, but it is quite the risk now. If it were necessary, maybe okay. But he has picked fights that he has had no business picking if he wants to be elected.
I don’t think any of you understand.
This election is already being contested.
Trump will win.
So will the left, and they will try to seat Kamala as they sat Joe.
War is fast approaching.
The only way to avoid it is a win so decisive that the left cannot implement their theft.
If that doesn’t happen there will be no election in 2028 because there will be no United States to have one.
There will be an election. The question will be whether it will be in form only. After the Roman republic fell, they preserved the empty forms, so I think that will happen here too.
The Rs made a fateful error after the 2004 election, when Dems thought they had been screwed out of Ohio by touch screens. If the Rs had only put country first and joined in a serious effort to make elections reliable, none of this would be happening.
Anyone who thinks that these things have been one-sided is deluding themselves. I am in no way, shape, or form excusing what the Ds did in ’20, but the Rs acted badly in ’00 in Florida, and missed a golden opportunity after ’04.
