There is zero chance that he voluntarily walks away from free campaign money being thrown at him by his rubes, plus all the enrichment while in office. It doesn't matter if he wins or loses or pretends he has a chance, he WILL run and collect free money, then argue disingenuously about it all after riding it out for as long as he can. And then he will claim victory regardless, and refuse to ever leave.

Anyone who thinks he may not run again is just not paying attention.

To be clear, he will never voluntarily walk away. NEVER.
