Suppose it depends how much money he has left if any. Does she wait until the KFC catches up with him or cut her losses now and write a tell all book?!

 Next US president 2024 market up, with new rules.
I'm going to take a crack at picking it right now. If I can pick the winner now, I will be a forum legend in 2024 (as well as a multi-millionaire) :lol:

I discount Trump, and all his family,. as well as Pence. I think they've had their shot - their appeal was that they were outsiders , but now they're known quantities, and their reputations will simply be too damaged by Trump's antics after the election.

I don't think either Biden or Kamala will win a second term either. Biden's health is not good , and he would be doing very well just to see out one term in full. He himself said he was a 'transitional president'. It's not out of the question that Kamala could run and win, but I just can't see her having real popular appeal. She didn't do well in the primaries and I think she'd attract strong opposition from Repub voters.

I really like Andrew Yang as an outside shot to win for the democrats. He's a really smart tech-savvy centralist who can appeal to Repub voters as well as Dems. He did much better than expected in the primaries, and success as mayor of New York might really bring mainstream appeal.

My pick for US President, 2024: YANG WINS ! 8-)

 Trump waving goodbye on the steps of air force one, with YMCA blasting out. Just adds to the surrealism of it.
Young man there's no need to feel down
I said young man pick yourself off the ground
I said young man 'cause your in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

lol

I'm a bit worried about Biden now, after hearing President Harris gave a long inauguration day speech in the cold, caught a chill and died 32 days later. Keep it brief Joe. ;)

Biden: We must reject the culture where facts themselves get manipulated.

Camera focuses on Pence, not clapping but looking uncomfortable. :lol:
