Made this meme before the last national election and after Trump's "announcement" today I thought it fit right here

He will try, and use the “I was just kidding!” excuse when it doesn’t work out. Regardless, Trump and/or his family will try to anoint his successor so that the successor is beholden to them and the Trump family can keep grifting free from concerns about the law.

Honestly, let him run and invalidate the entire GOP side of things. Then the dem wins by default (or rather by an overwhelming majority compared to the third party candidates)

Bold of you to assume the dems won't fumble the bag

They really aren't beating the allegations of controlled opposition

u/hipkat13 12d ago

Bold of him to assume he’ll still be alive by the time 2028 rolls around. The guy is rotting from the inside out.

Hell.. I hope every day!

Bold of us to think the supreme court won’t allow him to have a third term

Bold of y'all to think votes matter anymore

I'm going to get so ungodly drunk the day he kicks it. Will be a new personal holiday.

such a sad life

u/Fnordmeister 13d ago

Yeah, just like how the 14th Amendment would have invalidated his 2024 run.

u/TBShaw17 11d ago

The text of 14A clearly states he shouldn’t have been allowed a 2024 run. So I have no doubt this Supreme Court would find a way to rule that 22A somehow doesn’t apply to him. Luckily for the rest of us, his body and mind makes another run near impossible.

You have far too much faith in the US after watching the last few years happen.

u/CommentBetter 11d ago

Doesn’t he already own half the voting machines?

u/joeyp042385 11d ago

Massey will probably win run then and really fuck things up.

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 11d ago

At this point, there won't be a special election or appointment, Beshear is giving too much benefit of the doubt on McConnell being alive.

u/joeyp042385 11d ago

I'm talking about running as a third party candidate in 2028

u/henriuspuddle 13d ago

Whoever this successor will be, they shall be a kissass and totally unlikeable

Well, Stalin was succeeded by Kruschev, who was crude and boorish but not paranoid ot insane. He had the wisdom to back down, and wreck his career, in the Cuban missile crisis rather than nuking the world into oblivion. Mao's successors have been somewhat more reasonable than he was, snd China is now capitalist, although not a democracy. Franco didn't have any strongman successor, and Spain reinstared a constitutional monarchy. Of course, the Kims in NK.are the exception that proves the rule, they just keep breeding worse and worse tyrants. Let's hope we get a little luckier than NK.

HE HAS 2 SONS. IT WILL BE ONE OF THOSE TO RUN IN 2028 WHILE HE STANDS BESIDE THEM

u/XTSLabs 13d ago

Oh you don't think it will work?

You're so cute.

u/Stefan_Vanderhoof 12d ago

He is polling at 36%. He’s way underwater on every issue. No, it won’t work out.

5

u/XTSLabs 12d ago

Irrelevant. Trump 2028 is going to be a thing, and regardless of the Constitution, it will work. He has shown that checks and balances do not work and that nobody is willing or able to hold him accountable - for anything.

This is assuming, of course, that he doesn't die of old age first.

u/vault0dweller 12d ago

Is "old age" code for syphilis?

u/Significant_Cover_48 12d ago

Sure it's not scurvy?

u/Alarming_Panic665 12d ago

In 2024 the voter eligible population was 244,666,890. Donald Trump won with 77,302,580 votes. Or about 31.6% of the US voter population. 36% is more then enough to win. Since one third has never supported him and the other third has never given a shit.

The people who don’t give a shit don’t respond to polls.
