Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He said the same thing in 2020.
He explicitly promised we'd never see him again.
Who would have thought that paragon of virtue would just lie like that.
He said he would leave out of embarrassment
Just him bargaining with his base. "Well if you don't vote me in I'll just stop running, your loss."
In 2020 his dementia hadn't progressed so far.
It would be really hard to run this guy in 2028 without having to hide him the entire time. He's slipping and even the sanewashing from the media can't really hide it all. It's part of why he's in hiding right now, they know he can no longer hold onto ideas long enough to make it through a speech. He was always relatively incoherent... but it's really become painful and out of control when he's in public speaking.
It's already elder abuse, and it would be a hard sell to make it happen in 2028, no matter how much his addled mind might want that because he simply cannot accept losing. Which is why he's dumped all his energy and money into cheating. It's also why the party dumped everything into a VP who will do what he's told, and hit Trump with the 25th amendment sometime soon after a "successful" election of Trump. They know it's Trumps last dance and he's out of control.
Exactly, he didn't lose in 2020 /s
Yeah but he won't be able to string together enough words to even give us the current word salad he does now. You can see the decline just from the start of his campaign to now. And that's assuming he's even still alive given his clearly sub-par health and dietary habits.
Money and modern medications can keep seriously unhealthy assholes alive far too long these days.
