Don’t forget, they made him sign a paper that he would not create a third party.

"Don’t forget, they made him sign a paper that he would not create a third party.

I am sure that Trump had in mind how honest the GOP was when, and if, he signed anything which is highly unlikely. The GOP has been utterly deceitful and any promises made to them have been completely sundered by GOP faithlessness and treachery.

Even if such a paper miraculously exists it is legally unenforceable because nobody can sign away their right of free association and President dump can always claim that the new party drafted him.

I believe he signed something saying he wouldn’t run as a third party candidate in 2016 if he lost the republican presidential primary. I don’t think Trump will run again, anyway. He can definitely champion a third party and support it.

I highly doubt that. Even if he did, it means absolutely NOTHING.

If this is true no such document would be enforceable. Proving duress would be a cakewalk.

You are saying they made him sign a non-compete clause?

"Don’t forget, they made him sign a paper that he would not create a third party."

Why would you repeat that, after I showed you the evidence against it before?

Donald Trump signs pledge not to run as independent
The Guardian
Ben Jacobs and Lauren Gambino
September 3, 2015
“I ______ affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for President of the United States I will endorse the Republican nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”

That pledge only applied, if he failed to win the nomination. He won the 2016 nomination, so President Trump can run for the presidency with the Patriot Party or whatever party he chooses.

And that’s as binding as the democraps oath to uphold the constitution.

Oh well. There are ways around pesky rules.
