A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

He won't but it seems win/win to me.

I mean, he's not long for this world so he won't even really have to deal with the consequences.
He'll definitely end up in the history books for centuries.
We wouldn't have to deal with Trump anymore.
The Republican party would be in chaos.
There would almost certainly be a bipartisan push for a constitutional amendment to limit the ability of the President to do shit like that in the future.

The only potential downside I can see is that they might use Trump as a martyr to get someone even crazier and probably smarter elected.
