Perfect for me !! My negative horoscope said many years ago that I would die in custody being a human shield for some deserving woman or women. I'm just a vessel.
Trump and the mega group have destroyed democracy from the inside. He probably won’t make it in four years, but it’s the people he put in place is the problem. I fear them more than him. The US has turned into a fascist oligarchy. I think it would take decades to get out from under.
There is ONE caveat to that. Only trump can mis-lead the cult. They are loyal to HIM, and nobody else.
I like comparing him to Tito, the Communist Leader of Yugoslavia. After he died, Yugoslavia split up into about 1/2 dozen Countries. Only Tito could hold it together.
His cult will probably idolize Junior next, he’s as crazy as his father and probably does more illegal adult substances too. Ivana is to smart for them. Eric well nobody likes Eric. Tiffany is the forgotten Trump. Barron is to young.
Look, I’m gonna be real I don’t know why he’s so charismatic but no one could lead like Trump (derogatory) if there was, I have a hard time believing the GOP would have clung to him to rise to power if they could have had a more stable leader that’s actually aligned with them
It’s about the money, power and control. Trump acts like a mafia boss then he’s got people to back him up to instill fear in the Republicans but they all want that money! They’re all weak minded and they obey in advance
That’s not cynical that’s truth. The only way he will leave is if he drops dead. I am of the firm belief that won’t happen because neither GOD nor the devil want him. People need to rise up and protest. It’s time to wake up and take a stand if you care. Enough with social media take to the streets
Ah, no.
I keep telling ppl this that say "oh 4 more years' and 'we have a robust constitution' blah blah.
He's (they) running it like a mafia boss. Rewards and punishments. Buy or threaten the ppl in the institutions, cheat, steal. Funnel all monies into the few. Money is power. Voter suppression.
I see him not surviving four years due to failing health. Honestly. I think he constantly looks pissed that he had to do this to stay out of prison. He looks tired and often like he’d rather be asleep rather than at the podium. That’s my take.
He said it himself. “I’m gonna fix it so good you won’t have to vote anymore.” Cynical would be if you have no evidence on which to base your judgement. Plenty of evidence.
He won’t have to leave. Republicans are going to change the law so he can run again. And then if he’s still alive he’ll probably just stay forever. Remember when he said vote this time and you’ll never have to vote again?
In another couple months we're not going to have a constitution. We're a hair's breath away from being annexed to Russia. And the MAGAts are cheering him on like it's a championship game.
Of course not
But then this was inevitable
Up to Dems now to get their act together pronto
& the center Republicans who despise Trump & all he stands for
I don’t see much happening
All I read is outrage over what Trump is doing but what’s being done about it?
Is it all down to the 2026 midterms?
This is all true but he didn’t win, he was installed and they have no intention in stopping now. He’s on the hook for the duration and so are we unless we uninstall him.
The people of Tennessee need to run this constantly when this turd comes up for re-election. The purge needs to start with the enablers. My congress-critter is Scott “Seditionist” Perry, who squeaked back into office with Trump. His actions from here on out will be on blast until 2026.
He didn’t put his hand on the Bible. Equivalent to putting his fingers crossed behind his back. Such a child 🙄 he’s not leaving unless we lure him out with his favorite toy.
Nope, which is what I kept trying to warn folk about, but they have this really shitty habit of just not listening. It’s why when someone is like “it’s only 4 years” it adds an extra 10 floors to my level of absolute dread.
I think I he’s going to leave after the first year. Make a big splash, get all the appointments he wants, extend the tax cuts, nominate another scotus, make all his cases go away, then walk away to go play golf. That’s my prediction.
I made a $100 bet with my MAGA father who says I'm overreacting that he would seek a third term. But I'll be happy to lose that bet because he dies first.
No and even if we get an election a lot of the voter protection will be dismantled and gerrymandering, multiple id requirements, limited access to voting facilities, Elon's tampering, etc will all be things we have to worry about.
I honestly don’t think he’s going to make it 4. Besides his health, I’m firmly on the side of him just being the vehicle to slip in the real team player; The Sofa King, if you’re following my meaning. And then he’ll appear to calm things down and people will be relieved and forget how he got there.
As a retired high school history teacher the things happening right now in the US are what I taught about happening in 20th century dictatorships, never in a million years thinking it could happen here!
We’ve seen how this plays out when he is legitimately defeated and constitutionally required to transition power peacefully. The reason why they are now overhauling government is so there will be no—or much less—institutional resistance to their attempts to hold onto power illegally.
He has a horrible diet, shits himself regularly and his word salads are more frequent. Let’s hope he’s gone to the golden throne in the sky before the next four years are over.
yeah. not happening. there are no ‘norms’ anymore and we need to stop pretending like there are any guardrails to anything. and what did people expect when they were OK voting for a convicted FELON?!?!
The McConnell inspired Supreme Court ended guardrails when granting absolute immunity to the President.
Even friggin’ King George didn’t have full immunity.
it’s insane and terrifying because now 🍊 will just dare the supreme court to try and stop him (that stupid note from justice roberts trying to remind 🍊 that there are still laws was a joke)
This seems like an opportunity to force the Court to own their 'absolute' immunity ruling. Seriously, they should be forced to admit time and time again that they gave free rein to a madman that we can't get rid of because, per their ruling, he hasn't broken any laws.
No, he wouldn't, but what I do think is that by then, people really, really will be tired of him if he's still alive and has any brain left what was his frontotemporal dementia. I'm worried about copycats. Best thing we can do in the long haul fight to overturn Citizens United.
This, & even if he doesn’t run or dies before then, they will just put in the next Putin/Hitler. It’s a plan straight from a fascist’s playbook. They’ve usurped power in the red states & w/Elon’s shit they can change results. We’ll have election just like Russia.
As the last 5 days reveal, it’s abundantly clear that it will take the force of the American people to fight for our democracy in whatever way that plays out.
So far, we see a flaccid old man with a criminal, self-pitied, vengeful mind who just got a rapist Nazi installed to lead the military.
He wouldn't have left after 2020, had it not been for those in place to prevent it. There are no such guardrails this time, only loyalists. His presidential immunity is absolute (thx supreme court) and he has 4 years to remove anything/anyone who may appose his dictatorship...
Neither he nor JD Vance will respect your constitution. The MAGA GOP is taking a crap all over it and tearing it to shreds. Here in 🇨🇦 Canada, we are watching in horror what is happening to your country and beginning to realize we are late to figuring out how to prevent it from happening here.
From europe perspective, he won't...but I thing most still don't understand that American Democracy is over for a long time... europe will feel quite alone now... :(. But US people are welcom here to immigrate...until they can't ;)
People need to understand that he is not making these policies...he's not smart enough to do that. It's the white, male "Christian" supremacists behind the scenes..they've had 4 yrs to put this together. Trump is their mouthpiece. Democrats..do something for fucks sake..this country is in trouble!
Don't think he is able to stay even if he wanted to. His health will catch up on him sooner - just look at him walking down a ramp 4-5 years ago when he was the 45th. Also needing 2 hands to hold a glass when he drank water during a speech..
He literally told his supporters at campaign rallies "if you vote well enough, you will never have to vote again."
He has no intention of holding elections in 4 yrs. His talk about seizing Panama canal or Greenland or fighting Mexico is because he wants a bad enough conflict to justify it.
He would have to be able to convince congress and senate to modify law to allow president to delay/defer elections during a state of emergency / martial law.
Then he would need a situation to justify martial law. Then he would cancel the election.
He just pardoned his 1500 most loyal foot soldiers. It won't be hard for him to create a situation domestically to justify martial law if he needs to in 4yrs time. They'll be out there recruiting from now till then and preparing for violence like they did last time, only worse. Now they're above law
I don't think he plans to go anywhere in 4 years. Usually in about 2 years there will be people running for president. Fighting who is going to be running in the next election. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I don't believe Trump will allow it to happen.
I don't want to think about it right now... I'll worry about it if the proposed legislation passes,or if the Dems don't take back the House and/or Senate. I can't take anymore tragic possibilities just now... ugh!!!
Step 1: By an insane and unbelievable miracle (Extreme Republican gerrymandering), Republicans gain a 'Super Majority' in both the Senate and the House. 2026
Step 2: Vote and then pass legislature to amend the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution...Granting Trump the possibility of a '3rd Term'!
I (almost) would take bets he doesn't ( or WE don't) make it 4 years. Karma may get him. It may get us, for ANY of us voting for him. But definitely, if he is still upright- pooping in his diaper - his handlers won't let him leave.
Trump is going to do whatever it takes to not leave. I believe that either civil war or world war 3 is on its way. He brings darkness and nothing good comes from that.💔
I feel that the assault on birth right citizenship is just practice for undoing other parts of the Constitution. They will learn from their failures and try again.
Exactly. Hasn’t he shown us over and over he does not care about the constitution? They introduced legislation to try to give him a third term in less than four days.
He doesn't care about actually leading either. He cares about consolidating more and more power, and causing as much chaos and pain as he can. He's a malignant narcissist. Narcissistic Personality Disorder, meet Antisocial Personality Disorder.
No, we’ve already seen his Congressional allies call for legislation allowing him a third term. If he doesn’t run, expect him to try and get one his children to run in his stead…he really wants to start Trump dynastic rule of the United States (and get himself on Mount Rushmore).
Can anyone envision him BEING ALIVE???? A lumbering diapered obese adrenal snorting speedfreak aged well-above 70-something? Does anyone think he’s got four more years of constipation-rage-tweeting left in him?

Hoping the same befalls maga
Moronic cult members.

We may have to band together and end them.

The constitution is not being enforced.
The Supreme Court & Trump’s cabinet are illegitimate.
We are no longer a constitutional republic. Because of John Roberts & the Federalist Society conspiracy.
Trump was born 14 June 1946….he’s living on borrowed time….
Evolution is our best hope….
He’s effectively king now (in his mind). Anyone even questioning that is still not paying attention.

Republicans will keep him in place for a century, if they can.
I have a wedding to attend in Connecticut in February.

by then.
(Commented before reading others' replies. Predicting we all agree)

Have no doubt about it, he will try something.
He's implied he won't.
MSM has started talking like he will for some reason.
Not sure if that is good or bad.
Set expectations of what should happen.
Saying he won't every day starts to normalize it.
Of course he might not live that long. He's old & eats too much junk.

Sad
I don't understand the fascination.
