He's running.

From the long arm of the law?

[Jolly]

Whatya gonna do if he's elected?

[jon-nyc]

Same as I did in 2016. Go about my business and try hard to tune him out.

With as much success as an OCD sufferer trying to tune out whether they left the stove on.

[jon-nyc]

Really no. You’d be surprised.

I can't believe people actually want him. Beating the dems right now is a layup.

He seems needlessly complicated.

Right? It seems like with DeSantis and maybe a few others you could get both the policy and the pugilism. Actually more of each, perhaps. Fewer distractions and a less fragile ego.

He's running.

And this time he won’t be leaving after some arbitrary 4-year limit.

The constitution says absolutely nothing about term limits for God Emperors.

I can actually imagine DJT turning into an enormous orange worm, and pronouncing "Spice" in the same way that he pronounces "China".

I suspect this is going to keep me awake at night.

Unfortunately for many it’s moved beyond party or even country, it’s a direct association of one’s pride and value to a single (con) man.

Trump, whether he runs or not, is addicted to power, winning, and ratings. Has been for decades and this is the biggest stage on the planet. So it will be hard for him not to run, …unless he’s in jail lol

Always using big words. Luckily I knew that meant ‘genetically related to pugs’ without needing to look it up.

My favorite is when he uses big words like corpulent, to class up an adolescent insult.

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.

[Axtremus]

A big word for Trump is yuge.

[Jolly]

That's not quite the way he says it, but it's the standing joke.

To be honest, I like regional accents and phrasing. I was driving home the other day, listening to a national news broadcast. The lady most definitely had a New Yawk accent.

Thought it was refreshing...

New Yawk accents are, categorically, obnoxious as fuck.
