Former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Thursday that he “absolutely” expects President Trump to run again in 2024 if he loses his current reelection bid.

Mulaney, who serves as special envoy for Northern Ireland, made the prediction while participating in a webinar hosted by the Dublin think tank Institute for International and European Affairs.

“I would absolutely expect the president to stay involved in politics and would absolutely put him on the shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024,” Mulvaney said, according to The Irish Times.

Mulvaney, who also served as Trump's director of the Office of Management and Budget, noted that the president would be younger than Democratic nominee Joe Biden is now should he run again in four years.

He described Trump as a “very high-energy 74-year-old” and expects him to be “further engaged in 2024 or 2028 if he were to lose this next election."

Mulvaney added that Trump "doesn’t like losing." However, he rejected suggestions that Trump’s decision to file a series of lawsuits in battleground states still counting votes is a threat to democracy.

“It should not surprise anybody that there are lawyers and that there are lawsuits, and it is not a tacit admission of loss, any more than it is a declaration of victory,” he said.

Will he be alive though?  Anything can happen when you’re 74 years old, obese, and are ignoring a global pandemic.

The hypertension, cough syrup addiction and organ damage from Covid are all saying this... simply isn’t true

Let me enjoy him leaving the WH before we start talking about bringing him back in

The Trumps are never going to go away from the Republican Party, whether they are active members or not.

if anything we should learn... is expect the unexpected people didn't expect he would be president in 2016... and he did

Can you run from prison? 

[Franch Toast 27,737]

I hope he and his kinfolk are in prison by then.

I can totally see that happening, unfortunately. Four years of Biden will re-energize his base. And Biden will likely step down and let Kamala run in 2024, so it'll be Trump vs Clinton all over again.

Oh wow I always assumed that once you don’t go straight into a second term, you cannot be president again 

I thought if Biden won then no more trump  wtf i hate it here

[Robo Ga 15,614]

I bet he will based simply on the fact that he always does the most annoying thing possible 

[bionic 50,111]

Nobody likes a loser Donald. He'll run as an independent.

You actually can! And there's historic precedent: Socialist Party's presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs was arrested in 1919 for speaking against American participation in WWI and after then-POTUS Woodrow Wilson called him a "traitor". He ran for president in the 1920 Presidential elections while in prison and led the campaing from there. He managed to obtain more than 3% of the total votes, the highest for a Socialist candidate in history and one of the highest percentages obtained by a third-party in a Presidential election.
