IMO, DT45 will not run in 2020 because; the first thing he did after he took office was,

to set up his fund to start collecting funds for a 2020 run.

But.... he knew full well that records are not kept of donors until the primary season begins in 2019 and the left over funds are passed to the candidate if any funds are left over after the election.

So he was setting up his retirement fund and I believe the funds can be passed on to the family.

The idea that he can pass it on to family (or others) is a good point. Thx for pointing it out.

It's all about "want', and he always wants more.

I think that his health is poorer than he's letting us believe.

Most people I know (IRL) think he won't live to see Barron graduate from high school.

Do you think we will have a week-long, round-the-clock coverage of another bullshit "state" funeral for this useless phony, best scenario is for Bush Sr. to check out at the same time to divert attention. Both of them will be in hell before they shit themselves.

5. I don't think he will run simply because he doesn't like being president...

never seen him happier than when he instructs his mobs to rough up a protester. money is nice and all but those rallies are like purest heroin to him.
