President Donald Trump declined to endorse Vice President JD Vance for the 2028 presidential election during a press briefing in Ireland
Yeah I mean Trump wants to run in 2028, why would he endorse someone else?
Probably family.
What about what family?
He might endorse his own family if he doesnāt run himself. All the benefits, none of the work.
Donāt think he cares about his family. He wants the glory for himself. But itās a good guess.
I can see Trump Jr. running on a explicit platform of āI will let my dad live in his bunker in the WH basement and make all the decisionsā
Which one? Cokey McSniffles or the dumb one?
No, eric is the ugly one.
I do like how we all know the one with a vagina isnāt even in the realm of possibilities for them.
I think it depends on which family member and how recently he has taken his meds.
He cares enough about Ivankaās tits and appearance to exclusively hire people that look like her.
Dear god. Junior is going to run. Thatās the 7 in this range of possibilities.
Can we FUCKING FINISH THIS ELECTION FIRST BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT 2028?
Oh man, no, 2026 is already in the bag for Democrats, we got the House and Senate - no need to even vote anymore, just take it easy and enjoy the 2028 race!
/s
talking about the next election (2028) is the fastest track to acknowleding the lame-ducked-ness of the current occupant. I say speculate away.
No. We should not be talking about elections 2 YEARS IN ADVANCE! itās not fucking normal! I do not want every day of every year to be occupied by electoralism.
In American electoral politics, it is āfucking normalā to be talking about the next presidential election cycle following the midterms, and the midterms are in like 2 weeks. Itās āfucking normalā to start marginalizing the current administration because they canāt run for re-election again and to start focusing on new people, and despite your hysterics, I think we could actually agree that paying less attention to Donald Trump would be a great thing for literally everybody, so calm your fucking tits.
following the midterms
One problem. The midterms havenāt even finished. This is preceding the midterms.
Itās āfucking normalā to start marginalizing the current administration
Thatās fine. But we donāt need to start talking about elections! It leads to thinks like good olā Mitch saying we canāt let Congress vote on a SCOTUS position because weāre a year away from an election.
Your patronizing tone is not welcome. I donāt fucking care what the status quo is, Iām sick and fucking tired of the status quo.
Itās also normal for them to put christmas decorations out in some stores before thanksgiving and youāll still get people whining that itās too soon or whatever. This is all just a weird complaint, because it happens every election cycle, and, weād ideally like to move on. The zombie corpse of Mitch McConnell can read a calendar and the political reality as much as anyone. Theyāll use whatever tricks they have to fuck over as many people as they can as long as they can. But we need to start talking about whatever the post-Trump era will look like, nobody wants to stay mired in this.
In case you forgot, that wasnāt a hypothetical. It actually occurred during Obamaās admin. Enough people thought āyea that sounds rightā to the point that there wasnāt even a procedural change in SCOTUS selection.
Christmas decorations being up early is one thing. Talking about electoral politics is an entirely different thing, that actually has consequences. People tune out of politics all together because we talk about elections years before they actually happen.
Both parties absolutely love that we spend all our time with politics discussing elections, because all they do day in and day out is fundraise for their parties. Assuming that they never eat or sleep, politicians in both parties have less than 30 seconds to review bills before they vote on them, because of all the fundraising they do. The constant electoralism means that they never have to change.
In case you forgot, that wasnāt a hypothetical. It actually occurred during Obamaās admin. Enough people thought āyea that sounds rightā to the point that there wasnāt even a procedural change in SCOTUS selection
And then one of those ghouls, Barrett? was sworn in like 2 weeks before an election when it suited their needs.
Heh, Costco has them out as of a few weeks ago (at least) and itās not even freaking Halloween yet.
Homie attempted a coup to stay in power. Iāll be thinking about the next presidential election until heās gone.
Thatās fine. The problem is constant electoralism.
Precisely. I hate to say it, but I agree with Trump here (about it being too early, not about JD being terrific)
āItās too early,ā Trump responded. āI mean, itās too early. I think heās terrific. Thereās so many terrific people.ā
JD sold whatever soul he possessed for power, but he remains a terminal loser.
Peter Thiel will get his moneyās worth
Nobody likes JD Vance.
I do like his pope-killing record but thatās about it.
He does seem to kill everything he touches. He went and endorsed Orban and he immediately lost the election LMAO.
Only the one person that would least be missed seems to be immune.
He was the last person Pope Francis metā¦
He has no intention of transferring power peacefully to anyone.
Then it is up to the people of America to transfer it violently on his behalf.
Youāre not wrong, itās the job of the U.S. Marshalls to enforce, but if they go rogue the supreme court has options
None of this matters if theyāre all traitors though.
Feds gonna fedpost?
That is impossible.
Trump has no intention of leaving in 2029. He isnāt building that ballroom and golf course for the next guy. Weāre going to have to drag him out of the White House in shackles, if heās lucky.
š
When you make rules that say you canāt be prosecuted for what you do in office (fuck the SCoTUS trash that allowed that) there is every incentive to not leave office so you can keep doing illegal shit with no consequences.
cholesterol is gonna save democracy.
Cholesterol needs to get on it.
Big PR opportunity for heart disease.
Then the smart thing would be to keep up appearances and endorse away.
Oh, I hear it. smart.
You mean if WEāRE lucky. Thatās usually not the way this shit goes down.
āWho do you want in the White House when you leave?ā
āWhen I what!?ā
itās funny to me that people are pretending like heās not just going to run again. He wants to be a dictator just like his favorite people, pootin and kim jong un. And all his stupid mouth breathing knuckle dragging supporters will just line up with whatever dumb bullshit excuse is fed to them ābut presidents are only limited to two consecutive terms!ā ābut FDR!ā ābut heās a war-time president!ā
There is no level of duplicitous stupidity these traitors wonāt stoop to.
Yeah heās been openly suggesting a 3rd term for a while now. Selling hats and other merch. There have been multiple officials throughout the past 2 years publicly comment that they are looking for ways around the term limits. Every justification is some weasely attempt at semantics. Every criticism is met with āhe isnāt seriousā or some such hand wave.
Yet here we are. Some folks still pretending like it aināt plain as day.
I think heās likely to not run again. Why run if you can just abolish the election?
Even the Norks, Russia, and China hold elections itās just that they are Kabuki theater. But it helps grant legitimacy. Now mind you I one hundred percent think him and his supporters could try to cancel the election, but that would also likely backfire in some way. Probably a statement of non recognition of the feds by most states and a cutting off of interactions with the feds.
And then there are the people who actually think heās going to run, when what heās probably going to try to do is declare himself Perma president
I think one of his kids is going to run in his stead, like Bolsonaro.
Sure I think he will run again, but can you explain how he would do anything other than siphon votes off and guarantee and Democrat victory? Surely all the swing states are going to ban him from the ballot, and its impossible to win without them.
Um, idk man, America elected a child-raping felon. Anything is possible.
Ya, Iām just trying to think about the actual mechanism he can use. To pull it off you have to get all the states to cooperate. That is near impossible.
Probably try to use Colorado attempting to strip him from the ballot in 24 as precedent to claim he cant be removed from the ballot in 28. Mind you thereās garunteed to be far more states involved and frankly speaking the language of the constitution is clear on this one, so even if the supreme court favors Trump itās far more likely theyāll just be ignored.
You probably already know this, but at the time when FDR ran for and won 4 terms, the two term rule was just a customary practice. It wasnāt written into the constitution.
After FDR died, Americans wrote up the two term rule as the 22nd amendment, and adopted it into the constitution.
Did Vance even say thank you ?
Said please and thank you.
Probably more like āglrrrrrblgherrā as trumps shit covered balls smacked his chin
Trump betrays literally everyone who ever trusts him.
Classic narcissist.
They deserve it too.
To be fair, I donāt blame him.
Republicans and Democrats agree on one thingā¦ Fuck J.D. Vance
The couch already did
The couch never consented.
Dude fucked a couch.
He also decided that an appropriate career move would be getting embarrassed daily as the whipping boy of a dimensia-addled pedophile.
FACT
Kind of have to wonder if he was betting on trump dying midway through the term.
A couch is more acceptable than small children though. Yet here we areā¦
Grabbed them by the pillows!
Just Dance Vance is going to learn a hard lesson about why trying to chameleon in and ingratiate yourself with a narcissistic cult leader doesnāt end on a good note.
JD should be looking at Mike Pence to understand his future. Trump will let his mob drag you to the gallows if you try to step out from under his shadow.
āJDā āVanceā, who called donnie āAmericaās Hitlerā?
Of course heās not gonna endorse cuz heās gonna run in 2028ā¦
He might not make it in this term tbh
Donāt do that, donāt give me hopeā¦
For an old fat guy thereās a pretty high actuarial chance they donāt make it another few years. But the point of running is that being a presidential candidate by itself makes you able to run pacs and take in bribe money. So they will be running for president for the next term no matter what.
He could run in 2028, but many states would not put him on their ballots.
Not if Congress āsuspendsā the Constitution and declares him chancellor.
