"Trump has not officially endorsed a potential successor"

[Miles Archer]

Trump's decision to back away from running again comes at a consequential time for the MAGA movement. There is no clear successor for Trump once he exits politics. Some people, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, have emerged as potential successors, although Trump has not officially endorsed either person.

[Hugin]

7. It's the way of the MAGAts. n/t

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Is Mike Johnson chopped liver?

He could get Trump's blessing....

[Tribetime]

3. InHope he endorses don junior that would be great for us

[kimbutgar]

4. I picked Ivanka but her mother was an immigrant so she might be disqualified if the Supreme Court decides

That birthright citizenship of one parent is not legal.

[Norrrm]

5. Not even after kissing Trump's ass?

JD is kissing my ass

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. "Who gives a flying fuck?" should be a choice.

[Deuxcents]

10. There's 3 years left and they're entertaining a successor ? What about promised healthcare reform?

What about taking care of the country instead of rattling sabers at countries he doesn’t like? Is he just gonna rename all our monuments and government buildings and skate to the finish line?

[multigraincracker]

8. His blessing would be a curse.

[The Madcap]

9. He will endorse Stephen Miller. With RFK jr as VP.

I can't think of anyone worse.

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. He'll endorse the candidate who meets the following criteria:

1. They have a realistic chance of winning, making Trump look like a kingmaker

2. The candidate’s campaign writes him the biggest check.

Reminder: the 2028 Republican field will likely be crowded with close to two dozen candidates, including many not mentioned in the poll, such as:

Noem
Rubio (despite his denials)
DeSantis
And many red state governors like Youngkin and Kemp, as well as various billionaires.

…and don’t forget about Liz Cheney (although I think the odds favor her running for the open Wyoming senate seat)

Regardless of who he endorses, they won’t be the nominee- it will be somebody like Kemp or Youngkin, who have threaded the needle by maintaining plausible deniability that they are neither MAGA cultists nor Never-Trumpers.

12. That's why I added the extra detail on Vance / Thiel

Too early to predict anything, but I think Vance's ticket to ride will get punched by Thiel.

Trump really enjoyed that sweet, sweet $$$$$$$$$$$$$ from Musk last year. Thiel could match his spending, including any direct kick-back to Trump personally. He'll just write the check to "The Donald J Trump Foundation for the Advancement of Blah Blah Blah," and by the time anyone gets around to investigating it, Rapin' Grampy will be off to his dirt nap.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Regardless of how much money Theil kicks in, Vance will not be the nominee.

It will be someone like Kemp or Youngkin.

[Aussie105]

13. Cult leaders never think that far ahead.

Especially Trump, he of little insight and foresight.

Trump probably thinks the world and everything in it didn't exist before he was born, and will disappear when he dies.
(Not that dying is a possibility, in his mind.)

Successor? There will be infighting between those who don't see that leading the R party is drinking from a poisoned chalice.

[Johonny]

14. He will be dead, or thinks he will be.

If he is alive, he will run. Fuck the law.
