      No matter how he dies, it will be turned into a conspiracy theory and his base will martyrize his stupid orange ass.

        Maybe if it causes them to mobilize, that’s an issue. More likely, though, they’ll just write in his name for every election they vote in till they die.

        Not if it’s from natural causes. And you better believe when it happens they have a plan to make sure most know it was a natural thing.

          You really believe that whenever he dies, if it’s from natural causes, that the maniacs in his base will believe that? I guarantee there will be conspiracy theories about it the instant the news breaks.

            Yes. But they know that people die of old age. It’s not that hard to prove.

      Rich people can afford a level of health care that us normies aren’t able to receive. All those pricey procedures and experimental medications can keep even the most withered turd alive. His father lived to 93, so if you go by that we have ~16 years left.

          Presidency ages people because they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Trump’s only ever had his own weight on his shoulders.

    Of course he says that. It’s part of his nothing means anything strategy. He lowers the signal noise ratio so much that any actual signal won’t be recognizable anymore.

      Putin is good but also it was cruel and unjust that he murdered his opponent. For Repubs, doublethink is as easy as eating potato chips.

      I say we give Trump his own television channel. Nothing on the channel but him and his 6x8, 23/7. Can you imagine? Apart from one hour a day while he’s alone in the yard (other than his Secret Service agents), you could flip to Lockup: Trump Edition and just feel sooooo much better.

      I would watch the fuck out of that. For a week or two. Then I’d get bored. So would everyone else. And we’d all stop watching by and large…“The Donald” fading into obscurity, withering away behind bars…no cell phone to tweet angrily on, no hamberders or well done steaks with ketchup, no visitors…not even his own kids. His ego deflating day by day, having to shit on a non-gilded toilet in full view of the guards, a cell full of books that he can’t read. Then, one day, the channel ceases to exist, but no one notices. And, unaware if he is even alive or dead, we all collectively forget he exists and stop talking about him forever.

      I had an agreement with some friends to charter a jet and head to the islands to celebrate if he either got perp walked out of the White House or died in office, to just really go nuts celebrating.
