If his base doesn't learn that they're supporting a grifting criminal, and he continues to be able to fleece them unabated, sure.
Get ready for trump jr
Since when has a politician known when to quit?
Clinton hasn't run since she "lost" to Trump.
Clinton is still active in other areas though and still brings it up like she is owed.
Are you saying Clinton writes opinion pieces under the pseudonym John Pavlovitz?
Also, are you saying that politicians should just sit down and die when they don't win something? I mean, based on your rhetoric, you seem like the exact kind of person that thinks all politicians should just die, so I wouldn't be surprised.
No, I'm saying that with great power comes great responsibility and that there are those who quit because their contributions have been fully extracted from them and there are those who are drawn to the position like a mouse to cheese which manifests in what I describe, politicians with a drive that isn't synchronized with how much they bring to the table, because that wouldn't make things so consistent. Why else do you think celebrities like Donald Trump and Kanye West are running for president? Even after Hillary Clinton dropped out, although the article isn't hers, the gist is a common theme in her circle.

Absolutely. He’ll also run again if he wins, because his Supreme Court will decidee that a two-term-limit is unconstitutional.
I almost hope he tries. I don’t think the Republican Party would even be deranged enough to endorse him. If he ran, it would be pure ego, and he’d run as an independent.
It would be sad, pathetic, and amusing all at the same time. After everything he’s done, he deserves that kind of humiliation.

He'll be in prison
Well, when he dies, I’m gonna create a ton of Parler and truth social bot accounts and spread conspiracy theories with the end goal of persuading idiots on the alt-right to mount write-in campaigns for Trump.
But I will absolutely not consider doing that until he is dead and buried.
Only he knows for sure, but I suspect for an older man like himself. He might just wanna retire.
