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.”
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.
He also said he wouldn’t run again if he lost to Biden 4 years ago. Why does anyone believe a single word that comes out of his shithole of a mouth?
Because he thinks he won and the election was stolen, not that he lost to Biden. (I wish I could put a /s on this, but I think it may be too close to the truth)

What’s interesting to me is that he seemed to acknowledge the possibility of failing at all. And that he didn’t organize the answer around “if the election is stolen” or something. This is unlike him.
This answer was almost human.
Let’s leave that up to the states.
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.

He said that about 2024 in 2020, but here he is. Did he forget because of dementia or is he just a liar?
It is an abuser tactic, silent treatment or withholding affection if he doesn’t get what he wants. I guess that might work on his cult even if it has the opposite effect on people with multiple brain cells.
If he is alive in 2028 he will run again. Hopefully he is in prison by then.
Trump says a lot of things.
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.
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?
So he’s signaling his potential supporters “it’s now or never”… again.
I hope he dies in prison.
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 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.
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’s good. Just collecting enough money 😄💰 for the various playoffs he needs to do and for his one way ticket to the caiman islands.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😄
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.
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.
Shh don’t interrupt him when he’s accidentally campaigning for harris here
“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
