      I’m at a point where I think he’s more useful alive than dead. I feel like he’s ALREADY going to lose 2024. I’m a little baffled that it’s even a close race at all, but I’m still confident that between the debate, and the Taylor Swift endorsement he’s dug his own grave. And with that, it means he lost 2020 election, and the 2024 election. Would the GOP really endorse a 2X loser in 2028?

      I think him being alive forces them to support their own self made loser. And now even fox news is calling him a loser.

      He likes to say things like “they’re laughing at us!”

      No. They’re laughing at YOU trump. You are a laughing stock. Not the country. Not the democrats. Not anybody else but you. You are a loser, soon to be a two time loser, with two impeachments and 34 convictions. Nobody in American history loses bigger than you donald trump.

        If he’s alive they will endorse him. There’s someone pulling the strings in the Republican party, I’d guess Putin. Republicans used to be the regular kind of horrible, now they’re just repugnant and evil. Trump is the perfect figurehead.

          And he keeps losing. That’s my point. If he were dead, they might find someone who would/could actually win. Because let’s face it, Harris isn’t exactly everybodies first choice. She was kind of the only thing left once it became blatantly clear that Biden wasn’t going to be the 2024 nominee.

          So, if trump is alive, trump runs, democrats win. That makes trump more useful alive than dead.

          But I don’t think putin/GOP would be stupid enough to run him a 4th time.

              Dead or fully brain dead. So many Alzheimer’s symptoms and he’s about to turn 80. It goes fast once it starts (and it probably started 10 years ago).

        No. They’re laughing at YOU trump. You are a laughing stock. Not the country.

        The country is also a laughing stock but yes Trump is a big part of it

          Yeah, Trump has already been president once. There is no escaping being a laughing stock country after that one.

        Alive he can go down in ignominy and we can move past him. Dead, he would be a martyr and would never leave America’s conscience.

        I was a toddler when Nixon went down, but I heard what my parents had to say and combined that with what I’ve learned of history. Nixon was very popular, but once he went down he was like Voldemort, the one who shall not be named.

        Do you mean, “would they do something incredibly stupid because Donny insisted?” Yes, yes they would.

      I’m just glad this fucker is old. Could you imagine if we had to put up with this shit for 20 more years?

      He’s done regardless after this run.

        Hopefully. I said the same thing back in 2020, figured he’d be dead by now

        And hopefully this Vance guy doesn’t stick around, either, because he would be a pain in the ass for 20 years.
