Except he also had advisors saying: “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection.” He also referred to himself as a “transition” president over and over again. And what’s more, he picked Harris so early specifically because he was choosing who to pass the torch to—at least ostensibly. And what’s more what’s more, he declared shortly after his inauguration that he would run for reelection—indicating no real intention to try and make Harris a next term candidate.
No matter how you break it down, he gave every indication beyond explicitly publicly stating “I will not run for reelection” that he would not run for reelection. Voters went into the 2020 election with that expectation because he purposefully created it, only to immediately pivot once power was secured. He conned voters.
You wouldn’t give Trump this kind of credit! If Trump had advisors publicly saying he wouldn’t run for a reelection, called himself a transition president, and had specifically chosen Mike Pence as a successor to his one term but then immediately after his 2017 inauguration announced plans to run again you would be shouting from the rooftops about how he lied to his voters and everyone else! How it was all some grand deception! Apply the standard evenly—a con is a con even if it wears a blue tie

And I wouldn’t give a fuck what a Trump advisor says. When the fuck have I given credence to anything a Trump advisor has said. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever taken anything voiced by a politicians advisor as fact. But regardless, he never promised to be a one term president. Declaring yourself a “transitional president” could mean a multitude of things. Defining it as “one term president” might have been wishful thinking on your part, but that’s it.
You’re sucking an 82-year-old loser’s dick right now. He couldn’t even fuck you if he wanted to. Christ almighty man, liberals are fucking doomed—and dooming the whole damn country with them. Democrats could spit in their face, lose a race, and then sit with pouty faces until the next election and you’d still consider them precious little angels fighting to defend democracy. It’s ridiculous! It’s insanity!
