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.

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 34 points 3 weeks 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.

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

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 69 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

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

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 51 points 3 weeks ago (1 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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I hope you're right, but I also don't want to underestimate him.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 24 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

The people in that orbit are greedy sociopaths who can only be kept in line through fear. Once he dies, the fear vanishes and they'll turn on each other so fucking quickly.

I can't wait for it.

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

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.

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.

I'm surprised they didn't start the rumor yesterday , then when he came back tomorrow it would feed in to his Messiah complex

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.

He is definitely NOT fine.

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