      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.

      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.

        Once he loses his value (potential president), and fails to pay debts to his owners, things will get interesting. I don’t hold much hope in our justice system properly punishing him for his crimes. But I hope his life is hell (see Guiliani) and his cult is quickly hijacked by an even more incompetent bunch of opportunists, extremists and unelectable losers.

    The man has dementia. His doesn’t involved staring like Biden’s does, his waxing and waving is louder and rantier.

    They’re the same age. There needs to be an age cap.

    If he loses, he goes to jail. He won’t be viable as a candidate between that, his age, and his obvious lost capacity.

      You really underestimate his voters

      Absolutely nothing in the constitution bars a felon or a prisoner from running for President or even holding a federal office. The Farmers believed that the electorate would be smart enough not to vote for an obvious agent of an enemy of the state.

        He won’t get to 43%+ from prison.

        Not everyone who votes for him loves him. Don’t let the 'ganda fool you. They aren’t all rabid or overly devoted.

    The trick is that if he loses, he won’t admit that he lost, so therefore his promise doesn’t count. Not that any of them do.
