No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?
  • John Quincy Adams went on to become a Representative for MA in the House and I'd argue was the only real demotion post-presidency.

    William Taft went to the Supreme Court after his Presidency (not exactly a lateral move in and of itself) but was the Chief Justice so it's probably close. Then again institutions powers wax and wane over time, so it could be argued that it was a demotion.

    Lastly, kind of a bonus factoid of post-presidency activity -- Teddy Roosevelt, after serving a term plus some (edit: he took over the presidency as the VP after McKinley's assassination) and was a Republican. He later ran in 1912 as a candidate for the Bull-Moose Party after a rift in the Republican party when they nominated the above W. Taft instead of himself or another more Progressive Republican.

  • Do you want to survive the next 50 years? Yes, the planet will be fine. Do you want some semblance of government that can manage day to day migration crises for want of food, lack of water, and oh yeah, continuous war over basic resources. But yes, the planet will be fine.

    What about your children or if no child, your families descendants or any future human for that matter to enjoy what we've been spoiled with for our entire lives? And yes, I know... The planet WILL be fine. But we won't be and a lot of other species will go well before us... Many have gone already.
