He is 78 mate and in bad health, in 4 years he isn’t going to be doing much dictatoring

He's a narcissist who's deluded that everything will go his way. I'll admit that I'm pissed that he got to stay out of jail by becoming president again. And I'm not even American.

It's sad that Trump is such a doughy fatass that he's highly likely to die from a coronary while seated on his golden toilet, but his economic policies have caused considerable damage that will outlast his pathetic 'legacy' for years to come.

hopefully his closest supporters and enablers right now become Pariahs for the rest of their miserable lives.

This was posted in another thread...........stop thinking Trump is playing 5D chess, it's Hanlon's Razor

"never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity or incompetence"

He's a narcissist who's deluded that everything will go his way.

I mean, to be fair, it abso-fucking-loutly has so far, and on the way, he has been able to destroy everything that would say otherwise or stop him from getting anything else he wants in the future. This is the darkest timeline.

The nearly century year old Pope just survived double pneumonia. These people have the highest level of medical treatment available to them. He could definitely croak tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised if he's got another 5-10 years in him. Also wouldn't be surprised if they replaced him with an AI avatar.

Trump's parents both lived to a ripe old age, so he has genetics in his favour as well. But the Project 2025 lot would happily Weekend at Bernies him if they have to.

That’s when the couch fucker takes over. Or someone worse.

Regrettably, the worst people have a habit of living long lives.

Rupert Murdoch was born in 1931, he has no right to be still breathing air.

He'll have an AI trained based on his social media and name it the everlasting god-emperor of making america great again.

Jesus, the shit you guys come up with in lieu of resisting…

But his next in line can continue, that's the thing about dictatorships, once you're in one, it's hard to get out

Home of the brave indeed. "let's hope he dies"

You pussies deserve to have this dipshit as president.

right, elon is.

u/GazingIntoTheVoid 1d ago

You've got a point. By now he reminds me more of Hindenburg than of Hitler. Too old to harvest the results of his actions, but still powerful enough to prepare the stage for his successors.

u/Aqogora 1d ago

He's setting up a dynasty for his children and/or political backers.

u/Dan1elSan 1d ago

I think they will draw a percentage of the hardcore but nowhere near enough of a cult like following trump has.

u/CBPanik 1d ago

Wont matter if there aren’t elections

u/The_Man11 1d ago

These old guys live forever on power and spite.

u/74orangebeetle 19h ago

That's honestly one of the reasons I don't think we should be electing people this old in general. He isn't even going to be around for the long term impacts of his actions...makes it that much scarier.
