Just as I predicted two years ago that Biden would not be renominated, I am now predicting that President Trump will retire after the 2026 elections. He is still mentally sharp and energetic, but time stands still for no one. He has already cemented his unique place in American history, and his initiatives will be well on their way to fruition.
However he will turn 80 years old next year, and he certainly doesn't want to repeat Biden's (or Reagan's) decline. Actually, his early retirement would represent another patriotic feather in his cap by demonstrating his commitment to country over personal benefit. If the GOP retains control of Congress in 2026, he would then be feted as one of America's greatest Presidents. If the Dems regained control, his departure would rob them of another demented attempt to remove him from office. Either way, he would go out as a winner.
