Ask Lemmy

Hopefully he's dead (from natural causes) or in jail (from natural consequences).

He'll be dead.

His supporters will cryogenically preserve his body so he can keep perpetually lose every 4years.

if he wins in 2024, he’ll run in 2028, and 2032, etc. He’ll win those with 99% of the vote, just like his buddy Putin.

He will keep the campaign going for as long as he lives to keep reaping in the donations.

If he's not dead of course he would, he's a malignant narcissist that we're going to be dealing with until he croaks.

Lose? Nah. If he doesn't win the election, we'll get Insurrection 2.0. Then he's either imprisoned, dead, or we get to live in a dictatorship.

He seems like he's deteriorating rapidly, would be surprised if he made it to 2028. I expect if he loses in 2024 he won't run again but will keep conning his followers for money and repeating the stale line that he never lost even when he did.

Hopefully he’s died of a massive burger induced heart problem

In response to most of the people in this thread:

Idk, y'all. The biggest assholes never die. They stay alive out of sheer spite.

I'd bet if he loses in '24 his health will start declining quickly and will use health related reasons as a means to avoid punishment for crimes committed.

I hope he will be running from a psycho with a shank at ADX Florence in 2028. There’s a decent chance he will be dead in 2028 though. He’s not exactly the picture of fitness and good health. He’s an old, fat pig who lives on junk food.

More seriously, he has zero chance in 2028 if he loses in 2024, which is almost certainly what will happen. He’s been decisively rejected by voters once already. I find it hard to believe he has won over any new voters with his behavior since the last election.

Or maybe the government will step up and treat him like the terrorist that he is. If it was anyone else, they’d be waterboarding him with Diet Coke at Guantanamo right now. I mean, he’s openly calling for states to send the National Guard to Texas to fight the federal government. This fucker is on trial for insurrection and he’s out trying to incite another insurrection. Holy shit.

He’s had his deranged followers make threats against judges, prosecutors, federal agents, etc. He’s threatened his opponent in the primaries with a federal investigation if she doesn’t drop out of the race. He’s threatened her donors.

This dude is straight up nuts. I think it’s a legitimate question whether he’s eventually detained for the safety of the public pending his trials. At what point do the feds have an obligation to protect the country from this lunatic?

Forget about him and 2028. He might not even make it through 2024.

Remember: narcissists are psychologically incapable of imagining themselves no longer existing. He thinks he'll live forever because he literally can't conceive of any other possibility.

He’ll be dead by 2028. Hopefully in a supermax and suffering up until his last moment.

100%, he won't go away until he's forced to

Absolutely. He's that stupid.

Trump appears to be suffering from a serious cognitive decline since he was last president. He was never the sharpest spoon in the drawer, but it's bad now. If he's still alive in five years, I don't think he'll be capable of doing anything other than drooling on himself.

He'll probably be dead by then, but the Republican Party will come up with another candidate who's even worse.
My guess is Jacob Chansley.

I don't think he'd survive that long. and if he did, that syphilitic brain of his would prevent him from even being viable to everyone but the ones who have trump flavoraid for blood.

Trump is cursed to live until he Makes America Great Again. He will run election after election, with unnatural longevity, but once he gets back in office he only has one term left to find the error of his ways, discover Wisdom in Friendship, and bring moral-philosophy-flavour-of-the-month to the troubled but inherently glorious institution of American politics, or the curse will be fulfilled and he will spend eternity haunting golf clubs and expensive hotels not quite dead but never quite alive.

...

Tune in later to part II, where, in a world taken over by the all-powerful EU, Donald's seventh descendent learns of the calamity of his forefather and sets out to rediscover the truth about America and set her people free from the tyranny of socialised healthcare. Coming soon: "The Seventh Trump"

Followed shortly after with direct-to-TV prequels "Seals and Fur Hats: the Decline of True America"; and sequels, "Bowling with the Ghosts of Presidents Past, Present and Future."

Not really, but I don't think it much matters.

If Trump hit upon a political strategy that is effective, then someone else will presumably use it, absent a change in the political environment.

He will be dead but I would expect him to try a run.

I don't think he'll be alive in 2028 TBH, but if he doesn't hamberder himself to death before then, I think he'd run either way.

Is it a requirement these days to be a super old white man to be president of the united states?

Hard to run from jail (please)
