One small issue. You’re not rich enough. You also can’t run, you don’t meet the ‘Natural born citizen’ or citizen of the U.S eligibility rule.

Meanwhile, the man most likely to be impeached (Jared Kushhner) has had his security clearance downgraded. Last October, Kushner had to re-file his national security questionnaire with the head of the National Background Investigations Bureau telling Congress he has "never seen that level of mistakes" on any security clearance application.

Nice for whom? It was Hilary who lost the election for the Democrats. She is discredited in the eyes of most Americans.

Hillary could be in jail by the time of the next Presidential election.

I wonder how many of those voted "not Trump" rather than "for Hilary"?

Donald Trump is a very divisive character, distinctly unpresidential when compared with past presidents, and didn't even expect to become president himself.

If Clinton was a good Democratic candidate, Trump would have been a poor second. It is a measure of the sheer amount of dissatisfaction with Clinton that the Republicans got back in with Trump at the helm. It should not have happened.

Well by that reckoning, more voted 'not Trump' (66 million) , than 'for Trump' (63 million)...

Perhaps so, but by rights, she should have achieved a landslide against Trump. Many pundits over this side of the pond failed to register the extent of the disaffection the American public had about Clinton. I admit I also failed to pick up on that, although I found her smug attitude somewhat irritating.

Oh here we have the irrelevant popular vote count being rehashed. (Again

)

Trump won more States and Electoral College Votes, which is the thing that decides the presidency and that’s the basis they both entered the race on, regardless if they or you agreed with it or not afterwards.

No one is saying she won the Presidency, they're saying she got more votes is all.

How many times have we heard that saying of "it should have not happened but it did".

No, they are trying to suggest she should have won, on the popular vote.

I’ve said many times, can’t just have California and New York deciding the presidency. That’s why Electoral college votes exist.

Could see right through her, that fake open jaw smile she did.

She wanted to be President on the basis that she felt it was her turn, not because she would or could win it on merit. All those celebrities that were on her side, propping her up and she still lost, now it’s all the rigging and Crookedness that’s being discovered by the DNC and her campaign that’s being unearthed.

Quote from CNN:

Washington (CNN)One of the most persistent -- and persistently misguided -- ideas about Donald Trump is that he isn't enjoying being President and won't run for a second term in 2020.
That's never been true. And, on Tuesday, we got some concrete evidence of Trump's plans: He announced that Brad Parscale, who headed up the digital operation for Trump in 2016, would be his campaign manager in 2020.
"He has our family's complete trust and is the perfect person to be at the helm of the campaign," said Eric Trump, one of the President's three sons.

No one should be surprised by any of this. Literally not one person.
Soon after he won the White House, Trump set up a re-election committee so that he could raise money for his 2020 race. And raise money he did. According to Federal Election Commission filings, Trump raked in upwards of $32 million in 2017 for his 2020 race -- banking more than $22 million.
And, when asked, Trump and his surrogates have made very, very clear that he is planning to seek a second term. "Of course, he's running for re-election," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters last summer.

That'll make Arthur happy.
