I don’t think Trump will run for a second term, especially if the GOP extends it’s leads in the house, senate and state bodies. My guess is he will get virtually everything done that he promised in the first 4 years and consider that a done deal with the American people....and I would agree with him. He will have done more in 4 years than the last 3 presidents in 20 years.
He and his family will have earned our respect. I would be glad to see them go back to their normal life.
It also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Pense knows this as well....but Trump will stay active, keeping the GOP in line with his bully pulpit ... he will be the undisputed leader of the political class.
This has crossed my mind too. DT comes in saves the day and sets up the R for 4, 8 or more years after he leaves. This would be fine with me.
