Was it a bluff? Was it real? We will never know because he ended up the nominee in 2016.
What he potentially does in 2024 if he loses the nomination will ultimately decide his legacy.
He can be the patriot who put the sake of America first over his ego or he can be the reviled degenerate who doomed America to a future of globalism by running a narcissistic and doomed third party bid.
At this point in time, I think Trump has no good shot of winning a general election.
There are only four potential outcomes for the presidency for 2024 in my mind:
Trump becomes the nominee, loses the general election and dooms the nation.
Trump loses the nomination and runs third party, splits the vote and dooms the nation.
Trump loses the nomination and actively rallies to persuade enough of his sycophants to stay home and dooms the nation.
Trump loses the nomination and just rants on Truth social and somehow DeSantis ekes out a win.
This is why I think preventing the Dem trifecta by keeping the House or flipping the Senate is the most important thing.

In 2016, he was the only GOP who would not promise to back the nominee if he lost. Not exactly out of character.
