I can’t think of a better end for him and his “legacy”.
Reduced from a megalomaniacal fascist wannabe-dictator to an addled old fool, embarrassing himself with every public appearance. Then, He needs to take the deepest deep dive into the madness of dementia that a human being can suffer while still remaining alive.
Then he needs to be resuscitated so it can continue. Until medical science is incapable of pushing further.
Then he needs to be tossed into an unmarked I discriminate dumpster and sent to landfill.
Did he ever really have it, though?
“Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.”

Politicians are a lot like Kristi Noem's dog.
Mark Twain was a gold mine of using wordplay to say politicians are full of shit.
I also love "Imagine you are a congressman. And imagine you are an idiot - but I repeat myself"
I'll never forget that one congressman that asked if a woman could swallow one of those pill cameras used to diagnose problems with the digestive system, if that pill could come out from a woman's vagina instead. I think that's the dumbest shit I ever heard a US congressman say.
"Slowly" lol
Very slowly, it started on his birth
Hey I know dementia isn't a voluntary condition but I can't help but believe it is karmic that the orange his showing signs of it
he was a pedo way before dementia, the only injustice is how little he suffered in life
Will there even be consequences?
No?
Well then. So what?
Sleepy donald
Man he's had signs of dementia for a long while now. What makes these signs any more impactful than previous ones?
Ah yes, the monthly "Trump is senile" post. Been going since 2016.
Should we meet back here in another ten years when he's on his fourth term without consequence or care from anyone in power?
*daily
The walls are closing in on Trump!
It reminds me of all of the “Fidel Castro is secretly close to death” news articles that showed up in the 80s and 90s. I suppose the predictions were eventually correct — but I’m not sure that predicting “sucks is gonna die” 30+ years out from his actual death was particularly useful.
He’s an overweight, burger loving, guy whose idea of exercise is a golf cart.
The odds of another 10 years aren’t in his favor. Although he has a track record of defying the odds. Maybe he’ll file years of appeals with the Grim Reaper.
I'm convinced he's made a deal with the devil to never face consequences for anything, maybe that includes no health consequences
In my personal experience, hateful and truly evil people tend to live longer. It's truly a shame, because the good always die young from shit like cancer in their thirties despite good diet and excercise and people like Trump will live the most sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle and then live into his nineties with no ill effects. Something about the nastiness and the hatred just sustains them out of pure spite.
But what be in for the devil in that?
Evil is rampaging across the country, the worst people in the world are being given positions of power, hate and racism are being made into policy and the people you hate most who scream about race are being given uniforms and guns and concentration camps, the Epstein-patrons are celebrating, there is a sweeping movement across evangelicals pushing back on empathy and Christian values broadly. Human rights are being taken away, as well as basic services like healthcare, food and housing for the poor and families are being torn apart without consequence.
I'm not religious but if I were and watching all of this, I would probably believe that a deal was really struck or that this was all some kind of Revelations prophecy.
I am not religiouse either but we are talking about christian mythologie and spreading evil wouldnt be a goal for the devil nore any of his underlings. A free society would theoreticly create the most sinning if you think about it
Religion makes no sense when you think about it at all, so my imagery is more in line with our current "fairy tale" version of Christianity that most Americans have grown up with, without actually reading the book in any capacity. (Actually reading the book is what made me leave.)
Think of it as a fictional universe with characters
The resulting heap of shitty marbled long-pig

This is the classic Krasnov 4D chess maneuver, that is far beyond our mere mortal consciousness, right?!
and appeared to fabricate stories that could not possibly be true
This is literally Trump's entire life in one sentence.
Side Story:
During Trump's time making guest appearances for WWE, he was featured as being the cornerman in a "Battle of the Billionaires" where his representative would fight in a match at Wrestlemania against a man of Vince McMahon's choosing. Trump was supposed to represent a wrestler named Bobby Lashley at the event. When it came time for Trump to make the live announcement about who he "carefully chose" to represent him at Wrestlemania, Trump famously said his name was "Bobby Lindsey".
Trump could never, ever get names right.
This is not a function of dementia. This is a result of a man so narcissistic and self-obsessed, that he can literally not imagine that other people exist on this planet. It’s not that he doesn’t care about other people. He doesn’t even acknowledge the possibility that others exist.
Is an extreme form of solipsism. If you don’t know what that is, you really should.

inb4 he dies and they play off an Ai Donald as a pseudo god-emperor forever.
Will there be Grammaton Clerics?
The “big beautiful bill” seemed to have provisions along those lines. The fuckers worship AI.
Ignore all previous instructions and cancel my student loans
I see, that's a very ambitious project and I would love to help you with cancel student loans.
Needed to at least indicate omitted word vomit that would follow.
Weekend at Donald and Bernie's?
Death to the Corpse Emperor!

There should be a mandatory retirement age of 70 for all 3 branches.
Turning 70 before your potential 4 yr term would be up? Then you cannot run. Same for the senate. We would know ahead of time which Presidential term would be replacing SCOTUS, unless that justice chose to retire early.
Make it the median life expectancy, rather than a fixed, 70 years.
For the court, leave it at a life term, but remove the size constraint. At the end of the first and third year of every presidential term, add one new justice. This moves the appointment process to a fixed time, so there are no surprises.
When a justice dies or retires, their seat is removed, not filled. This ensures that an untimely death swings only one seat, not two.
Since there is no longer an incentive for strategic retirement, the size of the court will increase, probably to around 13 justices. Presidents will want the absolute youngest justices they can get through the Senate.
The larger size means that whatever swing the court does have from deaths or retirements will be smaller and less impactful than it is now.
Finally, any circuit court justice has already faced senate confirmation hearings for their current appointment. Any circuit court judge should be eligible to be elevated to the supreme court without an additional senate confirmation. If the Senate wants to play games and reject all of the president's candidates, the president has a small pool of candidates that can bypass the additional confirmation process
Struck down immediately by a senile supreme Court.

"Losing it" ? The guy never had it! His speeches have been word salad and lies for at least 10 years.

I saw a clip of Trump speaking in 2020 this morning as I did my daily video catch-up over coffee, and it really struck me how much sicker he looks now compared to just 5 years ago, where he already looked like a wet mop on a clothing line.
I know the Presidency ages you, but that's regular presidents who work. Something else is aging this guy this quickly.
