I would be pretty shocked if Trump ran.

But I'd be more shocked if he didn't spend the next 4 years mouthing off & sewing discontent & pissing about as though he were running. Making a big stink, and pulling in millions of millions of dollars.

There is no reason for him not to run since he doesn't care about the Republican party and it's long term viability.

I'm not sure how much money Trump made from the last election in merchandising but it wouldn't have been a small number.

We haven't quite entered the era where politics is used to sell action figures, but we're not far off.
