Trump says he will not run again if he loses November presidential election

www.france24.com

Former US president Donald Trump said in an interview released Sunday that he will not run again in four years if he is not successful in his current bid for the White House. “I think that will be — that will be it,” Trump said when asked if he would make a fourth consecutive run for the presidency should he lose the November election against Vice President Kamala Harris.

He said that last time too.
- I can 100% imagine him running for as long as he has a pulse. And even then, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if he didn't have a pulse and republicans used a deep fake to keep him campaigning. He's basically all they have at this point.
  
  he probably won't, like, survive for 4 more years. Or at least, he wouldn't if it weren't for the amazing healthcare package he gets for having shat all over democracy for four years.
  
  he’s 78 now, will be 82 next election.
  but if he loses a 2nd time i feel like there will be more pressure to push him out. but maybe that’s wishful thinking.
  
  Yes, I can.
  
  He won't be running again, as if he loses, he will die in prison.
  
  Have you ever known him to lie?
- to be fair, with the way he seems to be going, he might not be physically capable of doing something as presumably stressful as political campaigning in 4 years. And if he loses this, coming back in 4 years would also put him in the position of losing his party the election for 2 elections in a row. He's got a cult following, sure, but a lot of the rest of the party might not want to go along with trying him yet again after such a thing. The worry for 4 years from now, if Harris can beat him this election, are all the followers of his that have gotten into national politics by being just as or even more crazy as he is.
- He'll just say he didn't lose.
"If I lose to him [Biden], I don't know what I'm going to do. I will never speak to you again. You'll never see me again." - Donald Trump, September 20th 2020 at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina
Same empty threat as last time. If he loses and somehow doesn’t manage to get the Supreme Court to overturn the results, he’ll go right back to campaigning for 2028. He’s going to be running for president for the rest of his life.
- I really doubt that.
  It's amazing that he has so much support amongst the republicans even now, after he lost the last election.
  
  If he's still alive, not in prison, and capable of doing more than drooling? Of course he will run again. He has way too much power with the people that vote in Republican primaries; politicians that don't give him lip services don't survive primary runs. And, in turn, that's infected the whole party.
Here’s to hoping he fucking loses 🍻
- And is thrown in jail
  
  I kinda want to see him kark it at one of his rallies. right there up on stage. Strain a little hard taking a shit mid-sentence and then just pop an aneurysm or something
- Don't hope, make it happen! Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote, and donate/volunteer!
  
  “Hope is not a strategy”, thank you for the reminder!
He said that in 2020. He was supposed to leave America if I remember correctly.
Doesn't matter what he says, it isn't like he tells the truth about anything.
The progression of dementia will be why he doesn't run in 2028.
- Bold of you to assume that his party won't pick him again in 2028 just because of a little dementia.
- The progression of dementia is incidentally why he shouldn't be running in 2024 as well.
That's because he'll be in fucking prison for the rest of his miserable life unless he just flees the country to the arms of his Slavic lover.
He also said in August he'll move to Venezuela if he loses and that migrants were eating pets in Ohio and he never lost the 2020 election, why give any credibility to the things a known liar and fascist says as he attempts to grift and cult his way into a pardon for his criminal behavior?
- I don't think he's allowed in other countries now except NK and ruzzia. Ukraine would probably also accept his participation as a decoy. Possibly. Mexico has expressed interest based on his girth. With a little exercise, he could be the perfect mule. Or surgery..... don't need this yellow stuff, what's this other thing? Don't know, don't need it....ah great! 40 kilos per trip!
  
  That’s gets a bit racist there towards the end…
I don't think he will live another 4 years will he?
He looks damn old, you Americans love your old pollies but
- Never put it past the worst people and the most unhealthy people to live the damn longest because that's the universe's sick humor. Not always, but enough that it gets annoying.
  
  I’m looking at you Henry Kissinger
  
  Yeah, just look how long Betty White lived.
- I don’t think he will live another 4 years will he?
  He doesn't drink. He doesn't smoke. He's got government health care and access to the best doctors. He's not pulling a Steve Jobs and getting fruit enemas to treat pancreatitis cancer.
  Could very easily make it to his late 80s/early 90s.
  
  But he's also a fat bastard who never exercises. His diet is shit, and yet he might still live for another decade.
  
  He likes the businessman lifestyle, I guarantee that mine did looooots of coke in the 80s, if not today. That would have a detrimental affect on longterm health.
He literally has to win this race to save him from prison. I don't think people understand how motivated he is...
- He's not going to prison. He'll get fined. Those fines will be paid off by his friends. The remaining charges will be dropped. And then he'll go back to grifting rubes with Trumpy Bears and NFT trading cards, before going back to the political bundler circuit in time for 2026.
  
  I hope you're wrong, but it's possible. Dude has so many very serious felony charges still pending against him. We cannot have a functioning justice system in this country if the rules don't apply to billionaires and popular politicians. I'm going to be contacting my representatives non-stop, assuming Harris wins.
  
  Trump would get a fine, if he hadn't violated the judge's orders and been held in contempt multiple times.
  Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.
  See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.
  They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.
  The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.
If this man kept his word he'd have moved to Russia years ago.
- He wouldn't survive in Russia. Lol. Putin would arrange an oopsie for him.
  
  What the germans call a windoschleppen.
I'll never believe it.
That orange clown won't stop tying until he's sucking dirt.
Fucking liar.
- or in prison
  
  He will run for president from prison.
  
  He's never going to prison. Billionaires never do.
He’s literally running for his freedom. If he loses, he could be jailed.
I feel like we heard this same sentiment 4 years ago, and yet here we are.
- 'It's not a lie, if you belive it'. George Costanza
In four years this man is going to be legally braindead one way or another. Either the dementia will get him, or the hamburders will.
- I only disagree because he's never done anything legally before.
- I suspect that it’s already beginning to happen to him. Trump’s father had Alzheimer's, and I’m pretty sure that he’s headed down a similar path.
He's not going to run because he will spend the rest of his life in prison. And that can't happen soon enough.
Makes sense, his only interest was getting his charges dropped
Syphilis induced dementia will take him within 2 years— they’re just trying to get their ticks like Vance, Musk, Ramaswamy, RFK, etc. in there…
He'll be in jail.
- Or in Moscow
It’s not much of a commitment. He’s never going to say that he lost.
Scott Adams said republicans would be executed if Joe Biden won. Can we just agree Trump and all his MAGA morons are liars who will say and do anything for a lick of power?
- That must’ve been the least funny Dilbert strip.
  
  Compared to most Dilbert strips, it was actually in the top ten.
He will continue to run as long as he is alive and there's money to be made
- We should be so lucky.
I'm guessing someone else from his family will
- Most likely Ivanka. Either that or Ron "DeSanctimonious" will finally get his chance to be just as terrible as Trump while not being as incompetent as Trump. I sincerely hope the Republican party has it's reckoning and turns around to how they were before Trump. I mean sure they were still absolute garbage but at least they weren't worshipping a wannabe Hitler.
  
  not being as incompetent as Trump.
  this is the idiot that deported people then tried to get them back? white boots? lol what a clusterfuck...
  why can't the GOP try to actually govern for their constituents instead of fucking the leg of racism and despots...
  
  Not a fan of Ronnie nor Donnie but DeSanctimonious was the most fucking stupid nickname
He literally won’t remember he ran this time. I don’t think he even remembers he was president
- He said he ran against Obama so yeah you're right.
He also said he'd leave the country if he lost to Biden. Of all the lies he's told, I wish that one were true.
The tourbillon watches are very rare too. Don't miss out!
I absolutely do not believe him. If he’s alive, and sane enough to try to make it happen, and not in prison, he will ABSOLUTELY try to run in 2028 if he loses next week.
- This is to make him sound more reasonable/believable when he claims the election was rigged. He’s already said that when he wins, Americans will never have to vote again. So in his mind, he wins this election, and then never holds another one while alive.
Did he phrase it in a way that would sound like (to his sheep) that he wouldn’t be able to run as he will be persecuted by them and killed or something
I thought this sounded familiar, it's a month old.
And remember to leave the country as well.
- The ~~country~~ mortal coil.
Gods willing, it'll be because he drops dead. He does not strike me as the type with long to live.
I think he should. I’d love to see him hold rallies from his prison cell.
- You know they would give him special treatment and parole him or something so he could run. The government is corrupt enough to make it happen.
- Too many people have reason to make sure he gets the Epstein treatment. It wouldn't last long I'm afraid. I really would love to see him get out for testifying against Citizen United, judges, etc. His whole cult would out him as a RINO and their house of cards would collapse. I can dream...
I hope he withers away and becomes old and feeble like the piece of shit he is.
He will just execute his coup plan better this time.
- No, the GoP will execute their planned coup. Trump at this point is a puppet with dementia. A vile, evil puppet, but definitely too far gone to be the mastermind
- I'd love to see it. If tries a real coup the Marines and Army will fuck him and his supporters up because their oath is to the constitution and not Donald Trump.
It’s hard to run from federal prison. Or from Russia.
- Not if they give him special treatment at one of those country club prisons. Which you know they will.
That's because he thinks he's going to win, so there will be no more elections since we'll officially be a fascist state.
The man is one million years old
- We know. Every politician these days is with a very small handful of exceptions. People need to start running for office. If these morons can do it so can you.
