The orange tainted cunt can't die soon or painfully enough. May he suffer long.
Meanwhile I'll be sipping a nice whisky here in "failing" Europe.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Looking at who is Vice President and who is in that government I am not even sure Trump dying is solving anything.
I've long suspected that MAGA will quickly fall apart following Trump's death, or at least splinter violently into dozens of factions. Trump is too much of a cult of personality for that power to be neatly handed down to any one successor; even if the GOP brass bend the knee to Vance, I still think the people themselves are going to cannibalize him and each other over not being "Trump" enough.
Maybe that's wishful thinking though. I can only hope.
That sounds right to me
the groypers already deemed him too weak, i see at least that split. plus the charlie kirk camp.
There is a degree of cult of personality but I risk that is more of performance to keep attentions on it. In shadows there may exist a whole, very well organized, "governing" body that will pick up the piece if the main stage is left empty.
But that shadow entity won't have the support of MAGA. That's the whole point.
The group famous for deciding opinions for themselves? The amazing critics of modern politics? Those groups that take all voices into consideration and make rational choices?
The group whose singular cohesive thought is worshipping Trump.
They're literally incapable of any kind of solidarity with their own kin that doesn't revolve around the orange child rapist. Take cheetoh paedo out of the equation and they'll incredibly quickly devolve into infighting about purity and ideological differences. They're already doing that on small scale about ICE targeting white people or the fact the Epstein files weren't released yet. Imagine what will happen when the orange turd won't be there to be worshipped.
The results are quite simple:
-
the shadow leadership will try to create a small unified front using people like JD Vance to represent them. Some MAGA will fall in line but most won't because Trump is more and more truthful about despising most of the people in his cabinet.
-
The various MAGA grifters will start their own offshoots of the movement with slightly different ideologies, but instead of working together they'll be fighting each other like how Fuentes is fighting the mainline MAGA grifters right now. They'll run their own representatives and denounce all other factions, breaking up the voter unity, resulting in vote splitting.
-
Some republicans will try to claw their way back to a more moderate position, hoping to gain some votes back, but reality is, they'll need a solid decade before anyone trusts them again, if not more.
All in all, Trumps death will be quite beneficial to everyone. Except maybe Putin.
I completely believe you
putin has a lot to lose without trump around, i dont jd vance will be able to hold onto power.
I sincerely hope so, but we'll see. The world has overwhelmingly shown its stupidity of late.
what are you drinking? I just bought my annual bottle of bushmills 21 year old. I also fuck with redbreast 21 year.. I dont like peated whiskeys so im stuck with basically irish whiskey and very few scottish whiskys
I don't like peaty/smokey whiskey either - for everyday drinking I found the cheaper Shackleton replica to be excellent, and for fancy occasions, I got a bottle of the second edition. Costs a pretty penny for the proper edition (£175), but IMO it is worth it - I've already tasted it as a friend of mine got a bottle he popped when his wife finally got pregnant.
Were that everyone opposed to him could join you.
The current legal retirement age needs to also be the maximum age one can hold office in any branch or institution of state and local governments.
Airline pilots have a mandatory retirement age because they could kill 100s of people with a mistake. Trump has killed untold numbers so far with his decisions.
He's a massive bellend.
I need to work harder on myself!
Every time I think his words won't become more stupid than this or that he won't bend his words more than 3,75x full circle. But then ..... He opens his mouth again and automatically prove me wrong ... again
Like most things with the GOP and their leader, this is also projection.
