Donald Trump has ruled out running for the White House in 2028 if he loses the election in November.
Asked whether he would run again if he loses on Nov 5, the Republican nominee told US outlet Full Measure: “No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all.”
The poll found Ms Harris had 49 per cent of the vote among registered voters, compared to 44 per cent for Trump.
It is a significant shift from the outlet’s July poll which put [Trump](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/donald-trump/) as two points ahead of the then Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Trump previously came under fire for telling a Christian summit they would never need to vote again if he returns to the White House next year.
anyone else getting the feeling that he is going to try to flee the country before the election ?

He’s lying.

Yeah, he’ll just claim it’s stolen, so he can run again

If anyone believes anything – but specially about the election result – coming out Trump’s mouth, I got some oceanfront property you can buy real cheap in Kansas. But then if he loses this election, there is a decent chance he will be sitting in a 10×20 cell in some state or federal prison come 2028.

Good, perhaps he can shut up after November and do us all a favour

Ha ha. He said in 2020 that we’d “never see him again” if he lost in 2020 …which he himself finally admitted to recently … and that was a lie. So is this.

Hard to run from a jail cell. Not impossible, but difficult.

If he looses, he ends up in prison or somewhere where he can’t be extradited to the US.
So in that sense he’s right, but let’s say he flees out the country, he will be yelling and screaming for an insurrection so that he can return.
I don’t give two shits as long as the people vote him and MAGA crowd to hell.

i hope he is locked for good after he loses and we can be done with him finally.

I’ll give him twenty bucks if he gets in a plane the week before the election and leaves.

That’s what he said about 2020, and the fucker is still here.
He lies about everything.
UNisopod on
Sounds like another great reason to vote against him this time

Does that mean he’ll just not recognise the losing the election
ixvst01 on
Didn’t he say something similar before the 2020 election?

A traitor shouldn’t be allowed to run at any time.

So that means 2028 is definitely on the table if he wins this election.

A promise is of comfort to a fool. Trump is not going to leave all that money behind.

*Sure, Jan*.

I’d figure if he doesn’t win he’s headed somewhere with no extradition treaties. At this point the only way he doesn’t spend the rest of his life in courtrooms is if he runs away.

Everything he says is a lie.

Good riddance to bad blubber.

He’s going to run until he is dead.
