I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.

    I’m leaning towards “no”. His fragile ego will have taken two nasty blows in a row. Plus in four years he’ll be even older and more fragile, and it’s already pretty bad.

    If I’m right, I’m sure he’ll endorse some other maga-clown instead.

      Considering how many failed businesses he has under his name, I doubt failure is enough to hurt his ego. He’ll just make something up so he can pretend he’s still a success. Like how he claims he won the last election despite it being yet another failure to add to the pile.

        Narcissists don’t know how to recognize their own failures

          Yeah, while the cluster b two axis graph of opinion of self and opinion of others is useful it’s important to remember that narcissism is often rejection of acknowledgment of personal flaws. They don’t actually like themselves

      I don’t think he’ll endorse anyone except maybe for pay. And I don’t think anyone will want his endorsement. Most of his endorsed primary candidates failed (as I recall, valid to double check that). It may not be a mark of death, but it doesn’t look like it helps.

      I think he’s really good at compartmentalization and it wouldn’t surprise me if deep down he does think the election was stolen from him. I also don’t think he’ll be satisfied being on the political sidelines so he’ll run as long as he’s able.
