Will Trump Retire after 2026?

[ThisIsMe]

Just as I predicted two years ago that Biden would not be renominated, I am now predicting that President Trump will retire after the 2026 elections. He is still mentally sharp and energetic, but time stands still for no one. He has already cemented his unique place in American history, and his initiatives will be well on their way to fruition.

However he will turn 80 years old next year, and he certainly doesn't want to repeat Biden's (or Reagan's) decline. Actually, his early retirement would represent another patriotic feather in his cap by demonstrating his commitment to country over personal benefit. If the GOP retains control of Congress in 2026, he would then be feted as one of America's greatest Presidents. If the Dems regained control, his departure would rob them of another demented attempt to remove him from office. Either way, he would go out as a winner.

I think he will ride it out to 2029, if he isn't impeached and removed.

But yeah, I think he will retire after that....his companies are in good hands with his children. He can spend the rest of his days down on the golf course on the Florida coast.

Somebody must have been pissed at Franklin Roosevelt to ban presidents to merely 2 terms in office.

Democrats were even getting tired of his President for life status, as it turned out to be.

I have already been pleased and amazed at the tasks Vance has successfully carried out. He is a winner.

He's a good lap dog.

He will do the four years... I think he is having the time of his life in this second term... and he would never trust anyone else to fix the nation and remove the deep state...
So barring any illness he is a lock till 28....

He is talking after the midterms. Trump would not resign until 2027 in the first place because in 2026 that would cheat Vance out of winning a second term in 2032.

Why would he resign with only one year to go?

Barring some major health crisis or some Nixon-esque scandal, it would be unprecedented for a president to just randomly “retire” before his term was up

King Trump already told us that JD isn't his successor.

A king has his best son as his successor, and that would be none other than Prince Baron of course.

Long live the king!

"President Donald Trump said in a preview of his Super Bowl interview on Monday that it's "too early" to endorse Vice President JD Vance as his Republican successor."

Donald Trump declines to endorse JD Vance as 2028 Republican "successor"

In a preview segment of his Super Bowl interview that is set to air tonight, Trump declined to endorse Vance in 2028.

Because he ran for office to run from prison.

Now that outcome is off the table and not likely to resurface he can leave. Instead of having to do the work, he can be the power broker.

Obama first targeted Trump but when that failed to produce results, others aimed at Trump, though they had nothing to base attacks on. Just as Biden pardoned a mob of humans, Americans pardoned Trump for the attacks made by Democrats.

DJT knows he has no chance for 3rd term, so you know he is using the talk to gain advantage in goal attainment.

So, what does he want.

That could another reason he might do it.

Trump has already proved he will actually correct the damage done by Biden and by Obama.

Trump has already proved he will actually correct the damage done by Biden and by Obama.

Obama was the president through 2016, followed by 4 years of Trump.

He was promissing to fix Obamacare for example, also promissed to pay off national debt. Didn't fix anything and racked up 8 trillion more debt.

And you are still talking about how Trump proved that he will fix stuff? You sound very silly

 

[Robert W]

Obama was the president untill 2016, followed by 4 years of Trump.

And you are still talking about how he will definetly fix something?

Obama first attacked Trump causing the fiction called Russia collusion. From that Democrats got very shitty. Factually Democrats tried to overthrow our Government.

Nonsense, invastigation was overseen by Comey, a Republican who Trump asked to remain as his FBI director.

Obama got the ball rolling by publishing against Trump. I know the date and the report is online. January 6, 2017 and Trump was not yet sworn in. Comey was not the agency issuing the report. It was the CIA.

No, he does not, and, no, he will not.

If he thought his job was done perhaps. I agree that he will stay in until his term ends. Things will not be that good that quickly.

BTW, that would be with two years left in his term. That would allow Vance to run twice in 2028 and 2032 if he did. If he resigns before Jan 20, 2027, Vance is limited to 2028.

Why do you lie? All of the prosecutions came after he announced he was running in 2024. It was lawfare, pur and simple. The Democrats were looking for any way to stop him. Your theory is pure bullshit.
