Can Trump Come Back?
Acquittal in his second impeachment trial means that Donald Trump will be legally eligible to compete in future contests for important posts in government. In his February speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the former president dropped several broad hints that he means to make another bid for the grand prize. “Who knows? I may even decide to beat them a third time,” he declared to lusty cheers from his ardent admirers.
Whether Trump actually makes the attempt to stage what one of his advisers optimistically describes as “the greatest comeback since the Resurrection” remains one of the most consequential questions for the future of American politics and may determine the near-term viability of the Republican Party. In making his fateful decision, the Trump team should consider the post-presidential experience of the 13 yes, 13 prior incumbents who tried, but failed, to win renewal of their leases on the White House.
