    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.

    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!

    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?

      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.

        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.

          Im not worried about that, they wont let him, as a former president and current candidate, he has a secret service detail until he gives it up. Given the unique situation he is in, I dont think they would let him do that until everything is resolved.

        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.

      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.

          He’s been on ozymbic, which is why he looks so deflated of late. May still have another ten years in him on that alone.

          But also, you’ve got a guy like Dick Cheney whose heart hasn’t beat in over a decade. Modern medicine can do some crazy shit.

      I mean, do you see his old ass running for President… a fourth time? He’ll be 86, right? He’s already had a huge mental decline, and we’re liable to see it get worse over the next four years (regardless of whether or not he becomes President).

        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.

          They could do a little cadaver election. One of the most ridiculous events in human history repeating itself, but for the sake of veneration, would make for the cherry on top of the last 20 years.

                During the Iraq War, there was a brief moment where a camera crew just happened to be in the right place at the right time to show the world a live broadcast of a perfectly healthy Saddam Hussein out in the wild, being greeted by his troops as a hero. Except the guy really didn’t look much like Saddam Hussein at all. It was the kind of cheap fake that you would think people could never fall for.

                Since then, we’ve seen time and time again what people will fall for.

                So, yes. Not only are you correct, you are probably more correct than people would want to admit.

        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.

      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.

    “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.

        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.
