When bone spurs flare up late in life, it can be life threatening…
…the cognitive dissonance on display here is literally blowing my brain.
“Don’t impeach. Stop playing games. Only keep one thing in their heads for the next 18 months. Defeat Trump.”
“Because Trump is just going to step down. Count on it.”
Yeah, the whole actual Presidenting isn’t what drives him. Campaigning? That is like the blood of virgins to him. He’l get up in front of crowds and ramble and make up shit and they’ll all adore him. It is what he lives for.
So, no. He’s not resigning. And he’s not THAT old. He’s probably not really that unhealthy, in spite of his girth and diet. And he’s probably genetically predisposed to live well into his 90s.
Sigh.
The utter lack of humor in your posts and in the reading of others is dismaying.
…your OP was a joke-post? You don’t want us to take it seriously?
Well okay then, if you insist. I suggest you email the mods and ask them to move this thread to a more appropriate forum.
Yeah, to avoid that big loss he’d have to step down way earlier than 11/3/2020. The convention concludes 8/27/20 and that puts him on the ballot. Even were he to resign he’d still be the party’s nominee unless something drastic changes. And by early October even if they want to change the ballots it’s doubtful they’d be able to. So Trump would still take the loss.
Not in his mind, he wouldn’t. That’s my point.
He won’t be obviously and hugely losing in the polls. He may be 10% behind in one or two polls, but polling is no longer an accurate science like it was 25 years ago. It will be a close election.
( Rachel Madow will be holding her breath all night long, till the results are final.)
No it won’t destroy him— because he wont see it as a loss. He’ll simply declare again that the system is rigged, and that he is the real darling of the American people. The election was stolen from him.And he’ll declare how: because those lefties let 20 million illegal aliens vote.
Fox news will find 3 cases of something wrong (say, somebody with a Hispanic name voted using as ID a drivers license with an expired date), and that will be “proof” that the whole system is rigged.
Trump will spend his last 3 months from Nov till inauguration day doing nothing but running around the country holding rallies declaring that the system is rigged. The applause will boost his ego , and he will genuinely believe that he actually won, and the new guy in the oval office is the real loser.
Nope, I’m not counting on it.
I think the only way he resigns is if he craters with his base, setting up a landslide loss. I just don’t see that happening unless the economy suddenly folds. If the economy starts taking a dive, then he and the entire GOP is in serious trouble. But short of that, I think he will be competitive. My fear is that the race could be so close in the EV that he could claim election fraud and then incite his followers to engage in political violence. I don’t think it’s enough for Trump to lose, we need him to lose badly.
If your brain was literally blown, I don’t think you’d still be posting.
…relax. This is a joke thread remember? The utter lack of humor in your posts and in the reading of others is dismaying.
And he loves kicking and screaming.
I just chuckle at the desperate efforts of people who hate the President to come up with ways that he’s not going to finish the term. It’s sad, really. Accept reality and face up to the fact that it’s even possible he could be a two-term president. 
Chuckle all you like, but the only reason he might finish his term is because one half of the United States of America is rotten to the core.
If he loses, he will start ‘The System Is Rigged’ network that will make FOX look fair and balanced.
He will do more than start it. He will be on it interminably. Always outraged except for momentary reminders of the splendour that was his America.
He was intending to do that if he “lost.”
This isn’t North Korea, so watching it would be a choice. Say, what number is the public access station, anyway?
Of course. He’s an attention whore.
Yep, and it’s clear he didn’t have a backup plan for winning.
It’s an interesting theory, and it make logical sense for him to bolt before the music stops, saying he’s leaving for health reasons…hell, you may even be right, he might leave with a toe tag from a heart attack, considering his age and the shit he does and eats. It will hinge on whether HE thinks he will win. I honestly think that, in the last election, he thought he would lose, and he was preparing his outrage when, amazingly, he won…and he had zero idea what to do. He was the most unprepared incoming President I can recall…it was laughable, with him supposedly being this great CEO that he didn’t even have a team prepared for the transition (hell, here we are talking about the re-election and he STILL hasn’t even filled all the positions he should have in the first couple of months).
But will he see it as a given that he’s going down in defeat at this point? After all, he won last time when I think that HE thought he wouldn’t. That might make him hang on, even if it looks bad. I hope you are right…I honestly hope there isn’t a Trump in office for the re-election.
