donnie announces he's running for president in 2020 and declares he's already won

in the presser, talking about the trust, he said he was handing the keys over to uday and qusay and that he hoped that "at the end of eight years" he'd say either "good job" or "you're fired".


notice that he said eight years. not "four", not "four or eight", not some nebulous "at a later date". very specifically, "eight".

so he's not only announcing he's running for re-hacking in, but also that he'll be declared the winner again.

or maybe that there won't be an election at all.

anyway, he announced that we're stuck with him for eight years.

Does that mean he won't leave office in 2024(assuming he gets a second term)unless we overthrow him in the streets?

Gets he DID learn some things from "DJ Vladdi P".

Yes there's tons of negative stories all over the place but what has he lost? Nothing. He's delusional because everyone's given him everything he wants. Very little pushback if any. He might finally lose out on sos but sounds like the guy is against everything trump wants. Wonder if this was a plan so he really gets someone he wants in the position.

that he's planning, at age 78, to take his businesses *back* from his kids.

what kind of parent does that?

I kind of lean toward six months but his route through the next four years has so many physical, mental and legal land mines I really don't think he stands a chance.

I wish I could be happier about that. The GOP and Russia are going to fight over our collective corpse once he's gone.

There have been no consequences and I predict that there will continue to be no consequences.

I think he will last for at least four years. It remains to be seen whether he can steal the 2020 election like he stole the 2016 election.

The media, they have it out for him. The Democrats, the FBI, foreign intelligence services (except Russia)... everybody is against him. It's rigged, rigged, rigged.

So, if you are sick of the establishment, if you want to send a real message to Washington, vote for the guys in charge.
