But like Graham said, he'd have to finally acknowledge that he IS a politician if he gets back into this. He doesn't have to be a carbon copy of everyone else, but he needs to recognize it. Time will tell.
He had four years to become 'that' President.

I remember early on, I forgot which speech, but he was actually decent. And the Media, even Van Jones was sorta surprised. But that didn't last long as soon as he started tweeting again like a 16 yr old girl.

He was President for 4 years. I accepted him. But now he is done.

I really don't' want another legacy president, no Trumps, no Clintons, no Obama era anyone, including Biden. Those names are done.

2024 deserves something Fresh.

It appears that Trump has already won the GOP Civil War.....and that is the end of the GOP as we knew it growing up. There is no way Trump could win in 2024 with just his base. There is no way a Trump owned candidate could win 2024 on a strictly populist platform. The GOP had no platform in 2020 other than loyalty to Trump. They literally did not have a platform.

Rapidly changing demographics will be playing a more prominent role in future elections. There is no Trumpism Youth Movement. The GOP is no longer a center/right party and the remaining center/right Republicans are called RINO's and being discarded from the party. In order to vote for the GOP you have to be "OK" with conspiracy theories, xenophobia, white supremacist, anti-democratic values, violence. Without establishment Republicans the GOP resembles the far right parties found in Europe. It so resembles what happened to the Whigs in the 19th Century.

The Republican Party has lurched towards populism and illiberalism
Its rhetoric now resembles that of Europe’s most extreme parties

"I'll be back"?

Sounds like someone's famous lines were hijacked. Anyways let's introduce an amendment to let the Arnold run for president. I think he can win by a landslide and do a much better job as president.

Yeah, damn those voters giving Biden millions more votes than Trump as well as a LANDSLIDE (as previously described by Trump) victory in the Electoral College, aka by the RW as 'stealing' an election.

And many, many more will have learned that by 2024, Dems find a good candidate and it'll likely be a bigger rout than 2020 was.

He is a "The South Will Rise Again Type Person". The more time passes the more crazy he will sound.

The nice thing about Americans and its only good this time is we have incredibly short term memories. Trump will be forgotten, but not the scummy things he has done.

oh I think Trump could get elected to a House seat in Florida, he's still very popular there. From there to a leadership position is just one vote away.

Why would he want a house seat after being president. That's a demotion.
