Donald Trump said in an interview released on Sunday that he did not think he would run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year’s race for the White House.
In an interview on the Full Measure television show with Sharyl Attkisson, the former US president – who ran in 2016 and 2020 – was asked whether he saw himself running yet again in four years time.
“No, I don’t,” Trump answered. “I don’t see that at all.”
He said: “Hopefully, we’re going to be successful.”
That’s what he said last time. Only two things will actually stop him: the death of the Republican Party or his own
Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.
Well, yes. Trump Lies. We all know that. One can only hope that his ongoing mental breakdown will be clearly visible by them even to the hardcore fans of him.
hope that his ongoing mental breakdown will be clearly visible by them
it doesn’t matter what’s “visible” when your entire reality is fabricated by trump, fox news, and your safe space private far-right facebook group
Well, if he continues on the current slope, Trump will not be able to fabricate anything much longer. Even Fox “News” has problems loving him anymore. The third “piller of reality” will take a bit longer to fall, true.

“If I lose, I won’t run again!” - 34 Time Convicted Felon Donald J Trump
Left voting intensifies
If he wins it’s two terms and he also won’t run again?
If he wins he won’t ever let go of power. When you’re president, they (the supreme court) let you do it.
I suppose it’s possible, with 4 years of unchecked power and the project 2025 guys working for him they might be able to figure it out :/
There is no supposing. JD Vance is already saying once he is VP he will not certify the election if Trump loses again.
Don’t forget SCOTUS says he can’t be stopped by anything but impeachment.
Is there any past comment or behavior that would suggest Trump wouldn’t run for a third term, if given the chance?
Honestly this election is clearly taking a toll on him, and in four more years that unhealthy lifestyle might have caught up with him
Speaking of… The guy who hired the truck with ‘LOSER’ emblazoned on its side to patrol the white house in 2019, how do I get in on that action this time round, say, in Florida?
I’d much rather chip in to get a billboard that says “Ha Hah!” That’s visible from his prison cell.
Give me a salary, and I’ll show up everyday outside the fence of the prison yard, and the entire time he’s out there, I’ll hurl nonstop insults and heckling his way.
“hey, here’s mr. dipshit himself! is that your prison boyfriend? how’s that cell treatin you, dumbass? God what a pathetic loser! walkin around alone again, huh? where’s melania? barron still hasn’t shown up? dang, nobody out here even talks about you anymore, how neat is that? Diddy gets more mail from his victims than you do period! they composted all your merchandise, mixed it with pig shit, and it’s a great fertilizer, who’da thunk your bullshit would ever amount to something useful? druuuuuuuuuuuumpf. druuuuuuuuuuuuuumpf. loser couldn’t make money off a casino his daddy bought’im! druuuuuuuuuuuuumpf. missing your gold toilet loser? yum this mcdonalds burger is soooooo good, maybe if you’re good all year they might let work at one!”
I can go all day
The words coming out of his mouth aren’t even worth the paper they’re printed on
What if they were on toilet paper? I think there’s value there…
at least i can wipe my ass with toilet paper
Yea but if someone writes on toilet paper it is probably gonna be ripped. So at that point it is worthless unless you like shit on your fingers.

Ya’ll are missing the point. He doesn’t see it because he doesn’t see any more elections in the future. He isn’t talking about being successful at winning the 2024 election, he’s talking about successfully executing a coup.
So he’s signaling his potential supporters “it’s now or never”… again.
I hope he dies in prison.
I want to see him flee to Russia and see how Putin handles him after he’s done being useful. Will Putin finance his lavish lifestyle to show others that working with him might pay off or will Putin deal with him more harshly for failing to get America out of his imperialist way? Or maybe Putin will make a show out of promising to support him financially but then a “rival” will deal with Trump, making Putin very angry but there’s nothing that can be done now, such is life.
Or would Trump even be willing to flee if it means losing SS protection, now that he knows at least two people wanted to shoot him badly enough to risk their lives on it?
With how the war is going, Putin might not be in power for much longer.
Yeah, and providing a rich lifestyle for Trump wouldn’t help his position, which is why I wouldn’t be disappointed if reality chose that path.
Three u.s establishment would never allow a former president to go to prison. It’s never going to happen. All we can hope for is death by big Mac by the time he’s 80
He is literally awaiting sentencing. Admittedly, he had to break a lot of fucking laws for something to stick but I expect we’ll be seeing his Prison Memiors on sale for years and years.
He’s awaiting a slap on the wrist is what. At most he’ll be fined money he will never pay and be given some sort of suspended sentence at most
I think the whale nuker is right. He might get a lot of probation, but prison is almost assuredly not going to happen. I was sort of holding out hope, but this soft handling by the judges seems too nice.
I just hope he goes to prison. We better not get any of this “heal the country” shit. You know what will heal the country? Having people who break the look law go to jail.
He also said he’d “disappear” if he lost the 2020 election. At this rate the only way we will stop hearing about him is when he dies, and yet Im sure once we are rid of his existence, the deranged cultists will continue to believe he still stalks the earthly realm.
Disappear to the prison, right?
You know someone already has a AI trained on all his speeches and body language. There will be so many deep fans out there after his death it’ll be like all the Binladen videos that were found of him before seal team 6 found him.
I imagine the SI videos will all have a simple background of an obvious bathroom wall, where you can tell he’s on the shitter, all the low flow toilet talk will set the location. A bucket KCF next to him with a diet Coke he will do all his greatest hits, the wall, hillary, biden, his dick, how smart he is bc his uncle was a Professor at MIT, he is treated unfairly, ect, ect.
Let’s leave that up to the states.
I’m just surprised that he admitted to possibly losing
I thought the election is “stolen” if he should lose.
…. losing again
Last time he said he’d leave the country and we’d never hear from him again if he lost.
Yet here we are.
He didn’t really though. The headline makes it sound like Trump said “I won’t run again if I lose.” But that’s not the case. The exchange was actually:
Interviewer: If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?
Trump: No I don’t. I think that will be… uhh… that will be it. I don’t see that at all. Hopefully we’re going to be successful.
Hopefully he won’t be alive by then.
Otherwise, I’d trust him keeping his word on this as much as I’d trust him in general: not at all
It’ll be difficult to run for president inside a cell.
Difficult but not illegal or impossible.
And that’s assuming that he’ll ever see consequences anywhere near that magnitude for his many crimes. Which is unlikely.
I’m sure a decent amount of people would still vote for him despite him being in jail. If there’s box for him on the ballot, they’d probably even vote him after he died.
Some of these people still struggle with object permanence though. There will be no rallies, softball interviews, debates, etc. he will just fade away in their minds.
Eugene V. Debs did it, but he was a man of considerably greater conviction than Trump.
Somehow my response wound up as a Direct comment.
Come on, name one time he’s ever lied before. You can’t even name two. There’s not even a dozen times. Certainly it’s less than a hundred? A thousand?
ETA: Wikipedia says it’s nearly 31000 just while he was president, if you count false or misleading, still more than 5000/2.5 yr if you only count outright falsehoods.
You can’t name just one time he lied because if you refer to any specific statement he’s made, it contains at least two lies.
I refuse to do the math to be sure, but if we extrapolate how many times per day he’s publicly lied in recent years with the number of days he’s been alive, we’re probably talking millions of lies overall lol
Don’t worry, the wiki nerds have been keeping a list.

It is hilarious to me that there’s an encyclopedia entry for this. MAGA probably already thinks Wikipedia is woke trash or whatever.
Oh, they’ve thought Wikipedia was what they now call “woke trash” for decades. That’s why Conservapedia was a thing.
The fact that you need to make an encyclopedia to present a conservative point of view is just so, so telling. Just presenting facts should be sufficient, but facts are notoriously liberal, so…
Yeah, conservatives have always needed their safe spaces where can be free from independent thinking and rigorously checked facts.
People just didn’t notice before because their safe spaces included every place where the rich and powerful resided, including the totality of government.
And because of them formerly being the unchallenged default, they still consider their bad ideas the only right ones, so it must be the majority of the politically civilized world that’s wrong 😄
Considering his mental decline in the last four years, in 2028, he will only be able to get on a stage and shit himself. And people will still vote for him.
His voters will vote for him even if he was dead and mummified. A Trump holographic AI could probably have a chance in 2028!
Don’t give them ideas
Considering his mental decline in the last four years, in
20282024, he will only be able to get on a stage and shit himself. And people will still vote for him.FTFY
He can do that today, and it would be the most pleasant thing to ever come out of him on stage.
i mean, hows he gonna run from jail? Or the grave more likely
This is the same guy who he insists he won in 2020 and is supposed to be sitting president now. By his logic, he’s running for a third term.
He’s also said that he will become a dictator on day one if he’s elected this year. Why would he run in 2028 if he abolishes elections or makes a loophole to stay in the White House?
If he weren’t lying I’d be ecstatic right now. Although the laws of human mortality may prove him a truth teller for once in his life.
