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.”
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
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.
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.
