I was joking Greenmark. 🤣 Although with Trump and these Supreme Court Justices, anything is possible if he gets back in. Someone, somewhere needs to throw they hat in the ring and quickly otherwise 2025 could be a very strange year for the world. 🤔
I knew you were joking. I just decided to exploit the idea to counteract (in a very small way) the lunacy of the current populist mentality that you can say what the hell you like. Even when they are called out on their lies they still say the facts are fake news.
Strange and disturbing times.
But odds wise. Trump is going to win. I would be staggered if he doesn't.
I’m wondering if Obama doesn’t jump in the ring. He wasn’t great on foreign policy but more steady on his feet and can put sentences together. No offence to Joe.
I think Obama is done. He probably is trying to influence the next wave of Democrat leaders, but I don't think he has the hunger to be at the sharp end anymore.
Trump is a megalomaniac, he won't stop till he drops. Who would you like to have a beer with? Trump, Biden, Obama?

Are you done after serving two terms, or is it only two consecutive terms?

Well, I not going to have a beer with Trump as he doesn’t drink alcohol. Joe would be funny but after a few he might need to be put to bed. 🥳

Wouldn’t mind having a drink with Stormy Daniels though. 😱

Not sure if this answers your question Derek…

The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years.

But don’t give Trump ideas as he might want to change the 22nd amendment etc.

Don’t tell Derek but……

New York judge delays Trump's sentencing in hush-money case until September after Supreme Court ruling.

Also

A Texas congressman is the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to call for Joe Biden to step aside as the party's presidential nominee, after his disastrous debate performance last week.

I really can’t see Trump losing this, especially after the Supreme Court ruling…

I'm nicely green on Trump, but would happily forgo my green for a decent Democrat candidate.
