Yes.

But I'm talking about what would happen to him after he loses this election. I don't see how anyone is going to support an 82 year old candidate, who lost two consecutive presidential elections. That would not look like a winning recipe to me.
We’re going in circles. He already lost once bro. Did he lose GOP support? Not really. He didn’t even care to attend GOP debates since he knew he had it in the bag. In the current political system (primaries happening in the space of several months) he’ll have enough support to win GOP primaries again, and after that hatred for the democrats will gather everyone around his flag.
Also, there’s no clear anti-Trump alternative. De Santis thought he’s one but he fizzled out.

There's a pretty big difference between losing once and losing twice. Especially because he goes from 78 to 82. But I guess in that case it's all pretty irrelevant. If Trump loses this election and the GOP wants him as a candidate again, he'll just lose a third time.

Personally I believe the Republicans will recognize this reality and shift away from Trump and, quite frankly, batshit crazy policies.

Bingo.
look up William Jennings Bryan. Won the nomination 3 times and lost all 3. He had a cult-like following too.

You support Trump, because he almost got shot?

How does this imply his policy will benefit you?
Correction: He almost got shot by a registered Republican.

I’ll vote for there party that ends media piracy in Italy
I can see Meloni wearing an eye-patch on a pirate ship firing canons at filthy immo darkies headed to Lampedusa right now.

Trump is kissing Brian Kemp’s ass. I don’t think I remember him doing anything like this for a GOP politician ever.
When Trump starts being nice, you know he's desperate.

The people who support him now will support him then regardless of losses. It's a literal cult, you can't apply reason to it. It's just if he loses now he will lose then too, but hey that's their problem.

And I almost forgot, don't forget to include the religious nuts. They already live their lives around blind devotion to begin with.
Yep. It's an identity thing, not a rational argument or thinking thing. Trump is more of a lifestyle brand for them now rather than any actual human.

It's like Disney adults but for white grievance.

70% or thereabouts of Republicans in the US think the election was stolen and the same thing will probably be the case if he loses again. MAGA doesn’t believe he lost. They believe he won.

I wouldn’t go that far. No politicians on either side has a cult-like following like him. If he loses and decides he’s running in 2028 again he’ll be the front runner.
trump in 2028 will be even older and dumber than now. and now he's only capable of delivering simple messages like joe is sleepy, everything else that is a more complex message causes immense difficulties to him. i don't see him running once again. maybe he could give it a shot just to get out of jail lol
