I wish him all the worst.

[–] PeripheralGhost@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Maybe he'll have a stroke

[–] Uninformed_Tyler@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

idk, If we still have a democracy by then I am not sure it transfers. Trump is a cult of personality. He could easily be a congressman in the right district but president?

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

You mean, like in an African dictatorship?

Not with pizza or vodka but otherwise yes.

It is not unusual in monarchies for the first-born son to take over the line of succession.

[–] IndieSpren@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

good ole primogeniture

[–] amos@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

Yes... Let the hate between the couch fucker and this idiot flow.

[–] ciphernix@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He won’t need to run. Isn’t it a monarchy after all ? /s

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

The plebs still need to believe it's a democracy. That's why Russia and North Korea have elections too, it gives the plebs the chance to vote for their dear leader

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Gotta keep up the charade

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a cult and cults only follow the cult leader.

Have fun living in your cult leader father's shadow, dipshit.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

he's gunna have to kim jong il the place....

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Holy shit this could really work. If anyone can keep the cult of Trump alive, it's another Trump. Think of the hero worship of Kim Il Sung in North Korea. MAGA wants to deify Trump in just the same manner. Trump will become the great "God Emperor of America" who will fight to keep the Democrats out of heaven or w/e, and Trump Jr will act as Kim Jong Il and take over ruling.

It really depends on how quickly the old sack of shit actually dies. It's meant to be the most stressful job in the world, and he's back to unlimited mcdonalds. If it happens quickly, maybe the whole house of cards just collapses.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

I'd argue it's considerably less stressful when you're too dimwitted to understand the stakes and potential consequences of your actions and inactions. Even more so when you've tossed out any sense of professionalism and decorum that comes with the job. The people flipping burgers for him have more stressful jobs than the miserable sack of rotten cosmetic product waste.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

History is full of power transitions where measures were taken to prevent the ousted dynasty from coming back into power.

If it happens quickly, maybe the whole house of cards just collapses.

If something happens to Putin, the same thing will probably occur. Trump is a puppet, and if the strings are cut, he won't dance anymore.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Just what the world needs, another failson with last name of Trump.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, a cokehead in the oval? Why not! /s

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Tbf, he won't be the first one or the last. 😅

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And muricans will line up to lick his big fat pussy!

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Reminder: less than half of us voted for Trump. I'm pissed at the morons who sat out the election, and I'm wondering if i can nomad my way back to Europe or Canada. Problem is, both are in the crosshairs of tyrants.

I guess I'll have to stand and fight, no matter what i do, since i fear Trump might succeed in eliminating legal opposition.

[–] Feanorsjewelry@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Let’s not.

I forgot which one trump ignores Eric or don jr

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm making a prediction. Republicans will take the next presidential election and that president will get a second term.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With Dems refusing to listen to their constituents and ever pulling the party rightward or doing nothing? How can you see into the future?!

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Well that, and the fact that Republicans rigged and will continue to rig the election in their favor.

[–] NobodyElse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

They’ll run Hillary again against Trump Jr and act all shocked when he wins. Then they’ll blame the voters.
