The 2016 race for president has been a wild one, but, according to Jason Horowitz of the New York Times, it could get even crazier. In a piece published on Thursday, Horowitz reports on the possibility that if Donald Trump wins, he could "forgo the office as the ultimate walk-off winner."
The 2016 race for president has been a wild one, but, according to Jason Horowitz of the New York Times, it could get even crazier.
In a piece published on Thursday, Horowitz reports on the possibility that if Donald Trump wins, he could "forgo the office as the ultimate walk-off winner."
At the core of this scenario is a comment Trump made during a recent interview.
When asked about doing something dramatic like passing on the office he fought to win, Trump replied, “I’ll let you know how I feel about it after it happens.”
If that does come to pass, Trump could simply go on to revel in the victory without having to bear the responsibility of running a nation. What is less clear is how a replacement would be chosen.
However, according to many Trump supporters, such fine details need not be sweated, as that will never happen, reports the New York Times.
