I pray he doesn't. I pray he suffers a debilitating stroke, that he wastes away in a chair, refusing to step down or stop taking press conferences. I pray he suffers tremors, and delirium, slurred and broken speech, visibly decaying.

I want his followers to see him as the pathetic husk that he is. I want him to live decades in that chair, I want him to have endless trials in that chair. Death is the easy way out.

If he dies facing no consequences for his actions that would be sad...

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If it's a choice between the two, sure.

But let's play the odds here.

I'd be okay with it. The dying part is what matters.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean, he def deserves to die. But we all know that wouldnt solve the problems... right??

I had guessed by Christmas. He looks terrible. Cankles like that happen when your heart and/or kidneys are in failure. He also acts like a man with stroke defecits. In addition to all the signs of Alzheimer’s, which, unlike dementia, is an additional physical degradation of the brain that can kill you.

If he’s on dialysis, skipping dialysis can easily kill you. Potassium alone can do it. Skip, potassium rises, maybe to 6+, heart attack. The meds that remove that fluid and reduce the size of cankles rely on the kidneys and can damage the kidneys.

Even so. Do not believe for a single second that any of this improves under President Theil, er, Vance.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (12 children)

Exactly.

As weird as it is to say, Trumps unpredictability, irrationality, and penchant for reacting without thinking, have probably mitigated more damage than its caused.

When you get Vance in there, Who is capable of self control, who has the pressure of the money masters on him to do X.. I think things would genuinely get much worse under him. Especially since he'd also be struggling to reign in control of the cult of trump and direct them usefully.. Possibly by declaring that liberals were responsible for Trumps death, and inciting extreme violence as a result to distract from his own weakness.

Given the quality of this timeline I expect something superficially exciting will happen, and then President Vance will call for a time of unification and healing, and of respect for the separation of powers. After ending the war he disbands ICE and starts rolling back some of the most bigoted trump shit while keeping his "race: political" wife front and center. He does all that opportunistic shit to build his wholesome public image, and it works with many people who barely pay attention or just want things to look normal.

And then in the background the transfer of wealth continues to accelerate in the wrong direction while the surveillance state grows unchecked and the Supreme Court helps it along as planned.

He is definitely NOT fine.

Either he's dead and he did NOT write this or he's completely lost his mind.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He definitely didn't write that. Its coherent even tho it's crazy as fuck.

I'm amazed the fat cunt has survived this long. He's literally been rotting for months but like a really stubborn nugget of shit in my bum hairs, he still managed to cling on.

So he'll be replaced with Vance? Not exactly something to look forward to, either.

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 52 points 6 days ago (7 children)

will anyone follow Vance though? That's a chance I'd be willing to take

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 34 points 6 days ago (13 children)

I've never really understood the attraction Pedolf has, he's always been a vapid moron to me. Vance though? There's no way he can hold this coalition of the worst of humanity together.

God I hate these comments.

Do people really not understand the power Trump has over the narcissists that believe in him? You folks really think he's "just a symptom" and not an engine? Goddamn...No one thinks everything will magically be fine when he dies, he's made evident that the country is in need of fundamental repair, but for fuck's sakes.... How do some of you still not understand the singular force for evil that he's been for decades?

Vance wouldn't be much better, but he would certainly be less chaotic and ffs can you not let us be happy if Trump is dead? Let us have this one fucking thing after 10 years without pissing all over it. Fuck.

"Sure Hitler's dead, but" shut the fuck up

It's cool, MAGAs. Dear Leader has gone to live on a big farm, where he can run and play with a lot of other fascist despots.

The White House also issued what is known as a 'lid' on Saturday, a notification to the press pool indicating the president would not be making any public appearances for the remainder of the day. Krassenstein noted that a lid at 11 am was unusual for Trump, adding that the president had not travelled to Mar-a-Lago as he typically does at weekends. A separate, unverified post on Bluesky from an anonymous user claimed that a major road near the hospital had been blocked off and that an emergency meeting was underway at the White House. Neither claim has been independently verified.

Chances on them wanting to further the "Trump as the second coming of Christ" lore and resurrect him in three days?
