    I’m just glad that Trump not running anymore is out in the open now.

    Reading abut the particularly disgusting court intrigues gave me nausea though.

    And:

    Mr. Trump compared Mr. Vance to Eliot Ness, the mob-busting federal agent, for working to ferret out fraud in mostly Democratic controlled states.

    It’s a disgrace that partisan & paranoid shit like this goes for politics these days.

      Trump is too mercurial to trust. He may not be looking at the 2028 election right now, and letting people stretch their imaginations and dream of running, etc., but we all know that he has no intention of leaving in 2028. He ain’t building that ballroom for the next guy, that’s HIS.

      It will really become apparent after the Midterms, when Dems start announcing their candidacies, and everybody looks at the MAGAs and ask who intends to run. There will be a lot of hemming and hawing, because nobody will want to be the first to say they want Trump out, because he’ll see it as a betrayal. If anyone does announce, he’ll attack them for being dumb enough to think they have a chance of replacing him.

      And ultimately THAT will be his excuse: There is LITERALLY nobody in America, or the world, that can do a better job than him, and since we’re in a war, it would be irresponsible to leave office, a blow to the nation from which they will never recover. It’s his civic responsibility, his love for his country, that will keep him in office until the resolution of the war…

      …in about 2 weeks. No longer.

        Maybe Pence will throw his hat in the race and Trump can try to kill him again.

        It’d be a rerun, but I’d watch it on TV. Bonus points if he can catch Vance and Hegseth up as targets for the insurrectionist mob too this time.
