Could Trump drop out?

Yes. A much under-appreciated POTUS. Good, honorable man.
“ Historians have praised Polk for having met during his four-year term every major domestic and foreign policy goal he had set. After a negotiation fraught with risk of war, he reached a settlement with Great Britain over the disputed Oregon Country, the territory for the most part being divided along the 49th parallel. Polk achieved a sweeping victory in the Mexican–American War, which resulted in the cession by Mexico of nearly all the American Southwest. He secured a substantial reduction of tariff rates with the Walker tariff of 1846. The same year, he achieved his other major goal, re-establishment of the Independent Treasury system. Historian Thomas A. Bailey says that during the Mexican war, "Polk was an energetic and indefatigable war leader, and he emerged, partly through rare good luck, with uninterrupted success. He kept the sole direction of the war in his own hands, from grand strategy to the procurement of mules."[1] True to his campaign pledge to serve only one term, Polk left office in 1849 and returned to Tennessee where he died three months after leaving the White House.”

@jon-nyc Cool info about Polk. Didn't know all that, pretty cool. Next you'll tell me he also invented Polka!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Is there historic precedent for a president dropping out after 4 years?
LBJ didn't seek a 2nd elected term (though he finished JFK's term and was reelected for his 1st term) in the 1968 elections.
64, but who's counting. Nixon won in 68.
It’s confusing with the parentheses but George is saying he didn’t seek the second term in 68, which is correct.

I made the same post
Then I deleted it because of the confusing parenthesis

Please oh please run Nikki Haley. Please.
Could set up a Haley vs Harris female battle in 2024, if Harris is picked by Biden.
In other words, "If I had ham I could have ham 'n eggs if I had eggs."

Anybody consider the idea that he might take a look at COVID-19 along with what it will mean for the next 18 months along with the treatment he’s received by the press, the swamp, the Democrat party, and the public at large and decide FVCK THIS SH!T...

Nikki Haley got her foreign policy stint and is smart enough to not want to associate herself with Trump again. She will hate working with/for Trump if he wins, she will be forever tarred by the association if Trump loses, and in the process she will be made to say many things that go against her sense of what is right and wrong. There is no upside for Nikki Haley in this.

Being a female overrides all that stuff

I think this is true. She is looking at 2024, and there is not a good history of vice presidents becoming president (unless because of death).
@Jolly This place will be a fun place regardless of who wins.

I’m not talking about Haley as VP. THis is about if Trump drops out. They won’t run Pence.

I' m with Mik. They won't run Pence. If there were a chance of that, the scuttlebutt would be all over the place.
Plus, if there were such a chance, people need to think about the fact that Trump chose him for Veep, and especially why.
And Pence wouldn't work, anyway. He could never have a woman in the OO while he was there. Think of the inconvenience!
