He fully plans on being President untill he dies.
Tbh, I really hope he got this for him.
Comment on Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration?

Because we do not live in a Democracy with regular election seasons.
We live in a fascist oligarchy, which must constantly beam propoganda into the minds of its citizens.
…
Trump basically never stopped campaigning during the entirety of the Biden term, nor even for his fist term… despite being the President
US political ad seasons are notorious for being … way too long, up to a year… compared to most functional demcracies, where this ad season is often several weeks, not several, or many months.
Trump ratcheted this lengthy American political ad season into just literally all the time.
Before him, a sitting President running ads… during the middle of their own term… I think its literally unprecedented. Sure they’d give addresses and speeches to the public in extraordinary situations… but not run what amount to campaign ads… just all the time.
This is the power of money and media in the digital age.
It truly now just is cult reaffirming propoganda, in the derogatory 1984/dictator sense of propoganda.

Look at the Atlantic interview.
“I would never, ever consider running again, I’m against it, I don’t even want to talk about it, it’s a boundary too far, stop asking.”
“However I do have people shouting in my face that I must.”

He’ll not run again.
However, unless he is stopped by the American people, or death, or death by the American people -wink wink- then his second term will be for as long as he wants it to be. Putin style.
It’s up to the people of the USA if he is allowed to do that or not.
I doubt they’ll do anything though. They’ll wait and wait hoping for someone else to do something and when they finally realise no one is going to stop him it will be too late. He’ll have taken over everything that could topple or stand against him and filled it with his cronies. The backwards school yard bully will have become the backwards despotic dictator.

It’s the saddest part. He always said exactly what he was going to do. And Thiels plans were also known for years, in the open in obscure edgelord blogs. They all never made a secret out of their plans.
I wonder what else from the “crazy stuff he says” he will actually going to do, like the famous “shooting some random person on the street” without consequences or something. Maybe in 2028.

Welp we’ve got farm labor, cold turkey, no cell phones, communal bunks type rehab camps for… everyone on either hard drugs, or any kind of medically prescribed anti depressant or anti psychotic.
Thats still on the bingo cars from RFK, to my knowledge, that hasn’t happened yet.
We’ve also got concentration camps guarded by I guess Blackwater (whatever they’re calling themselves now) for all homeless people, a few miles outside of major cities, and of course a 0 tolerance policy for existing in a major city while homeless.
That hasn’t happened yet, but Trump has outlined that idea a couple of times.
… that one will be super-fun as the economy crashes.
