Worse child fucker and baby killer.

Of natural causes - the LAST thing we need is to have him turn into a fucking martyr.

Oh, boy, you are not going to like how insane how base is.

The conspiracy theories are going to be everything from trans shooter to poison to still alive to Jesus coming back from the dead.

Yeah, I know how crazy they are. But there's a difference between "died of a stroke" and "the Charlie Kirk special" on the crazy reaction meter.

Eh, even as a martyr he'd be useless. The moment he's gone, no other reich winger can bring the MAGA crowd over to their camp. Without Trump himself there's no MAGA, martyr or not.

I'm not so sure of that. I think we're too confident that someone won't appear to take his spot. As of this minute I think Tucker Carlson could do it.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 months ago

He's been actively cutting the knees out from under anyone who has tried to make themselves the clear successor. It's a common weakness in these cults of personality. They're afraid of the competition/a possible usurper

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

there will be dozens, if not hundreds, of people appearing to take his spot. let the base splinter itself into shitty factions during the inevitable power struggle.

So what I'm hearing is that "This is your lack of self awareness," should be being engraved on some bullets....

Nah, if the killer makes it sad/funny or he looks really weak, he wouldn't be.

Hey I’m not gonna be a choosy beggar

Only if it's incredibly agonizing cancer or something else horrific.

He is going to retire, and then he will run for a third term because he never completed his second term.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He can't legally run for another term.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Uh, excuse me, Mr. President, uh... sir. I'm afraid what you're doing is... er... illegal and I will have to politely request that you cease and desist immediately."

They can’t risk any electoral votes - do you think they’d want to risk running a candidate who is ineligible for x number of them?

This isn’t about “asking him to stop” (which I think was the point of your comment?) but rather the EC

Supreme Court: We gonna allow it.

Well, the door is right there so don't let it hit you in the diaper on the way out (because we don't want any skidmarks on our door).

Also, this still counts as your second term.

There's a universe in which Donald Trump got the E! newsdesk after Bill O'Reily was killed in a freak loofah incident and it is a fundamentally better one.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

He could've been a host of Talk Soup.

I’m willing to sacrifice the Kennedy Center for the rest of his life

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yuuup. Totally worth it.

Everything is clickbait nowadays. Journalism died when they figured out how to cram as many ads on a page as they can. The headline is the bait- the actual content is the ads.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Plot twist: Trump resigns instead of losing the next election or going to war and pretending he could have been president for another 150 years if he wanted to?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 3 months ago

Didn't anyone ever teach him that it's rude to be a goddamn cock tease?
