Feel free to drop out at any time.
- He literally can't...
  
  It's the only thing keeping him out of prison, and why despite the optics DC needs to be on lockdown for the certification in January. Full on towers and NG decked out like they were in the desert.
  
  If Trump loses he's 100% planning it again, this time all gas no brakes. They'll come in with guns from the start and kill anyone that isn't a trumpet in the capitol.
  
  I don't think people realize how lucky we were that they really thought they could just go in and "speak with a manager". Most of the ones from last time are out of or never went to jail.
  
  Historically the second attempt is always bloodier. Winning the election is very unlikely to be the end of it.
  
  Last time Trump actively prevented security forces from doing their jobs. This time the fuckers won't have that kind of luck.
  
  He won't be in prison if he loses At most he'll be home arrest. And even that is a huge unlikely. He's an ex president.
  
  I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not betting on it.
  
  This time will be a lot harder because he's not the President.
  
  "Oh, you want do a speech? Yeah, permit denied."

  There is going to be a gigantic military force guarding the capital next time.

  He could flee to Russia.
- In addition to all the legal issues already brought up, there is also the fact that Trump is straight up lying about this - as usual of course. He is one of the most extreme narcissists known to the history of man. Being and/or running for president is giving him an absolutely limitless faucet of attention to wrap his fat lips around and suckle like the runt who finally managed to kick the rest of the piglets out of the litter. He is helplessly addicted to it. It's like heroin to him.
See, we can always overcome our differences.

Everybody hates him running.
I mean, he could just fuck himself in the ass with a cactus, instead.
- Why do you hate cactii so much?
  
  When you think of it, so many of them are immigrants. They don't belong in our suburbs. They don't belong in our homes. They should go back to the desert where they belong. But no, instead they're pricking us with their thorns and I shudder to think what they're doing to our pets and the wildlife.
- PAIGE NO
“You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself.

-Animal Farm, by George Orwell
I have a feeling the quiet part might be something like this:

"... but I need to run to avoid prison."
- And pay off debts
Low-energy. Sad.
Then quit, you fuckwitted traitor.

The only thing making you run is your fear of fucking jail.

Jails not so bad. I’m sure you and your underpaid legal team could work out a deal.
*felonious presidential candidate whines that it isn’t fair he isn’t getting more plea deals

—

This country is truly fucked
This is one of the very rare occasions I believe what he’s saying…
- I don't. I think campaigning, rallies, and fundraiser dinners are actually his favorite things to do that arent golf. It's people paying to stroke his ego. It's a narcissist's wildest dream. He just doesn't like facing the consequences of his actions over the past 8 years.
  
  I’m on the side that he never intended to win at all and he just wanted to get in the spotlight to have some followers to sell gold sprayed products to. Now he’s in way too deep and can’t dig his way out. Tough tits.
He doesn't like having to prove his case to get votes and he really doesn't like being shot at.
He doesn't like having towin the election. He would much rather it just be given to him, like everything else in his life.
This is a man that’s run for office 4 times, and a man that has not stopped campaigning and holding rallies for 10 years.

If he actually wanted to get elected, he would shut the fuck up and stay off the campaign stage. That’s when his polls go up. But homie loves campaign rallies and campaign press SO much, that he can’t stop.
We don’t like you doing it either.
Well boo-friggin-hoo! Nobody's holding a gun to his head and forcing him to run. His legal problems are 100% his own damn fault, and he's putting the whole country up for sale to the highest bidder in order to evade restitution. I eagerly await the day when I never have to hear about this blowhard moron ever again.
criticized state and federal prosecutors for not offering him plea deals

"We won't prosecute you for treason if you drop out of the race." Is that what he's expecting?
I really, really hope that this is a sign that Donnie is genuinely worried that he'll end up in prison.
Hold the fuck on.

Plea deals? Does he not realize that a Plea Deal means you admit guilt, in this case become a felon and do the arranged time?

He's upset because he hasn't gotten plea deals? Why would someone innocent be impatient for plea deals?
he declared himself the “border president,”

Borderline President, sure, I'll give him that!
Yeah, we don't like you doing it either.
I'm in favor of Trump taking a plea deal where he drops out and stays or if politics
GFY orange freak.
He's been trying to become President for years.

I also think it's hysterical that the first article that popped up was from TV Guide.

- I'm a firm believer that all presidential candidates should have to release not only their birth certificates but more importantly their long-form birth video like Obama did at the Press dinner
“We don’t want this for our country,” he said of Democratic policies. “That’s why I’m doing this. I don’t like doing this.”

Donald Trump on running for president: ‘I don’t like doing this’

Which one is it?

I'm sick of words being twisted for clicks and narrative enforcement. It's clear, as this article has quoted him, that he's doesn't like what Democratic policies have done to the country and that he needs to run for president to fix them. He is not saying he doesn't want to be president.

I'm tired of the lack of reading comprehension among grown adults across this increasingly stupid country.

Can we please vote this fucker out of relevancy so we can get back to human progress?
- Both of those say he doesn’t like running for president
