In reply to the discussion: It's not the last of Trump once he loses [View all]Metaphorical
(2,094 posts)59. President of Venezuela?
Seriously, I think his kids will do him in, assuming Putin doesn't get him first, or Iranian assassins, or the drugs, or deranged MAGA kids, or just his own failing cognitive abilities. Suppose he does have Alzheimer's (and I think he does). In that case, he's also at risk for strokes and brain haemorrhages, a major coronary infarction, or any number of other potential medical conditions.
I think the reality is that even the MAGAts are struggling with him at this point - he's not extreme enough, and they are likely also coming to the same realization about his age and mental capacity. If he loses, he'll be 82 in 2028. Even if he wasn't showing fairly obvious signs of "early" onset Alzheimers, he's not going to lead their revolution.

He will announce that he's running again so he can keep grifting from his cult.

He'll be 82 years old then. I doubt he would get the nomination, especially if he loses this year.

Yup. The media will still have a strong right-wing bias and billionaires will still fund the march toward autocracy

For some reason he makes me think of this song. "I Started a Joke" by the Bee Gees

When a black man became President, the repukes lost their shit, and foisted Trump on us.

Dotard said if Biden won in 2020, we would never hear from him again.... Just another lie.
