Conservative publisher Matt Drudge on Tuesday claimed he “had dinner” with President Donald Trump “a few weeks ago” and said Trump is already fired up about running for re-election in 2020.

“He was optimistic, engaged, on top of the world, loving the job,” Drudge tweeted. “Time to call out Michael Wolff and his fabricated bullshit!”

He tweeted a link to a report by the Hill about author Michael Wolff’s claim that Trump “does not want to be the President.”

“He was in fine form,” Drudge claimed, referring to Trump. “And already talking about his 2020 re-election run!”

The White House did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for further details about Trump’s and Drudge’s encounter.

    I’m hyped too.

    “Supermax Apprentice” is going to be epic!

  2. I think if he really loved the job he’d actually, you know, do it every now and then.

  3. Drumpf detests this job. He hates every minute that he’s not being a child playing on his golf course (and groping waitresses). Once the midterms are over (and assuming Dems wipe the floor with GOP miscreants), let’s revisit this and see how happy Fat Fecal Fella is at having to deal with a Dem majority. If Mango Mussolini gets furious with a GOP majority, just imagine his incessant rage at a Dem roadblock every time he turns around. I hope 2019-2020 are hell on earth for Drumpf, assuming he lasts that long.

  5. I honestly believe that, depending on the midterms and maybe even the budget negotiations in early Feb., Rump’s days may be numbered. It’s kind of a foregone conclusion that Dems are taking the House. If Dems can hold onto all of their seats and maybe even pick up AZ and NV, I think the GOP will seriously consider replacing Rump.
