Undid revision 864699755 by 78.47.72.156 (talk) Speculation must come from source(s) unaffiliated with the individual. |
Undid revision 864832568 by Vrivasfl (talk) The source itself, as per reference, provided a suggestion and prediction that ptoential candidate would run for President in 2020 and take oath of office in 2021. The potential candidate not only agreed with this suggestion, but also published this in his own diary for public knowledge of the fact. This is actual and verifiable proof that such discussion exists; and exceeds mere speculation. |
