I’ve thought it for a while now but Trump is going to win next year, even if he’s in a prison cell.

It’s a terrifying prospect with regards to foreign policy, NATO and Ukraine.

I’ll take that bet.

He's the bookies favourite now, for what it's worth.

Increasingly loud rumours suggesting Michelle Obama is going to run.

Might not be a terrible idea actually.

From whom?

Thanks, I’m taking it right now. Well, I’ll lay on Trump as opposed to betting on Biden.

They also had a red wave as the odds on favourite. They also had Trump as favourite in 2020. Weirdly I’ve beaten them every time.

There's been a few articles about it in various legit news sites over the last week or so.

It’s been a right wing conspiracy theory since 2018. I’ve not seen a single legit source suggest it though.

Aren’t bookies shifting odds regularly to ensure a balance in funds bet against each side?

Gonna take a wild stab and guess conservative cultists are a lot more willing to bet their own cash on their guy than other folks are.

This bollocks was already covered and dismissed as boogeyman fuckwittery on this very thread a couple of weeks ago.

No Democrats are deciding Biden’s not up to it. Only Biden would decide that. Or Jill if something happened to him. Even then Michelle Obama has no campaign infrastructure, no campaign money, but more importantly, has never expressed an interest let alone a desire to be a politician.

I’d also love to see the source of what you’re reading. Because if this is what the GOP hopes, and that’s where this is coming from, my conspiracy theory would be that their internal polls have found no way to defeat Biden.

The source will be shite for maga maniacs, because nothing riles them more than the O word
