Rahm Emanuel predicted on Sunday that former President Trump would not run for reelection in 2024 and would instead begin pursuing retribution against GOP lawmakers who spoke out against him.

“[Trump] won't run, but he is going to spend the next two years on retribution," the ABC News commentator predicted during a panel discussion on ABC's "This Week."

"He is going after every Republican that either said something bad, or voted against them. And God bless him. You guys didn't want to cut him off. He made a Faustian bargain with them. And that's what's coming to the Republican Party," Emanuel, who was previously the Democratic mayor of Chicago and served as White House chief of staff in the Obama administration, said.

“In 1932, when [Franklin D. Roosevelt] won, was the last time a party — that is the Republicans — lost the presidency, the Senate and the House. That's how far back you go for this moment in time to have a corresponding point in history,” he added.

1. But he'll launch a grifty fake campaign fundraising thing

I betcha

[Me.]

6. Oh Yes

He has to pay those legal bills some way

[Chicago1980]

7. That's fine...

It's the stupid people whose money he's taking anyway.

Let em' grift... Less financial resources for other republican candidates.

2. Let the Repuke civil war begin.

[KPN]

3. An aside, I do not like or trust Rahm Emmanuel. Go away Rahm ... and don't come back.

9. I don't like the guy either, but he is good at reading the political landscape. I believe he's right

[servermsh]

4. Don't care what Rahm thinks. :) But IMHO, Trump will run Ivanka for president

And he will hope that she wins and pardons him.

5. I think trump will be a thorn in the Rs for years to come

and they deserve every bit of it. I hope he drags them down and destroys the party and I really believe that is possible. I’d about given up on karma but I’m starting to see it becoming active again. They’ve made a deal with the devil and will end up paying the price.

[soothsayer]

8. This!

[Thekaspervote]

10. Yup!!

[Bleacher Creature]

11. Not a fan of Rahm, but he's correct.

Trump is about revenge, so his first prediction is obvious. I also believe that his ego won't allow him to put himself in a position to lose again, so I also agree that he won't run. (And I credit Mary Trump for that insight.)

[Thekaspervote]

13. Yes...Mary trump's predictions have been spot on!

If he announces a run, then that money becomes subject to FEC laws...that’s the last thing he wants

[andym]

12. Trump's oversized ego will drive him to run

He really is addicted to the rallies and adulation. The only way he doesn't run if he's not capable physically.

14. Diaper Don's days of Power Grabbing

is directly in proportion to his Legal battles. As for Emanual,he did not serve our Nation very well in Obama's first term in my option.

The key in my option is,Personal Injury and wrongful death Legal actions within the DC Circuit Court System,dealing with the Attempted Coup by Diaper Dons Storm Troopers.

Followed by Legal Actions by the States of New York,California and Illinois concerning Diaper Boys Business Interests as well as Money Laundry used to float those said operations.

15. The optics are going to be very bad for the deposed idiot king and continue to be bad for the gqp

[Wellstone ruled]

16. The GOP

Senate Insurrectionist gang of four,Cruz,Grahman,Rubio,ad Hawley,will be the image for and of Diaper Don in the coming months.

Hope folks here do not think the four before mentioned Insurrectionist will change,these are the real time faces of new Klan and they are not about to go away. Remember Joe McCarty,well,these Suckers are way more dangerous than the Drunken Tail Gunner.
