We have 2 kidneys, 2 lungs, 2 nostrils... a second POTUS makes sense, especially considering...

he's rage tweeting at Iran right now.

And since we were told that Trump couldn't handle impeachment AND prepare for the pandemic, then that means he won't be able to handle the pandemic AND Iran, so all the more reason for potus #2, right?

Here's my vision:

potus #1 (Trump): His responsibilities will include talking to his vice president (Pence), getting told that he's a great leader, conferring with right-wing evangelicals, going to rallies, and tweeting.

potus #2 (Someone else): Their responsibilities will include all the BORING stuff like signing or vetoing the legislation, commanding the armed forces, talking to foreign leaders, you know, all the technical little details that right-wingers don't need to worry their pretty little heads over and Trump doesn't seem all that interested in anyway.

Everyone good with this? I'm down with this.

1. Maybe we actually need a deep state

Shadow government could be better than Trump's klutzed-up no-government-at-all

[DBoon]

2. but we only have one asshole and one Trump

[kurtcagle]

3. I don't know

I think Trump should be made King myself - sits in his big gold and red chair all day, looks important for pictures, waves mechanically at parades, you know, kind of like the Queen of England, but with even less real power or responsibility.

Then we can have a prime minister who wields the real power and handles most of the real responsibilities.

Just sayin'.

5. We'll call it Super President, he can be the Super President. Regular President does

all the boring things.

4. He'd love that. It would be like England, with a monarch as the public face for the government,

But a prime minister to actually run the government.

He would finally get to be king. A dream come true!

6. Co-consular power devolved into triumverates and dictators for life with the Roman Republic.

We've been warned.

[ck4829]

7. Oh, this wouldn't actually work

[Efilroft Sul]

9. I was slow on the uptake; my bad!

[ck4829]

10. It is a somewhat nice fantasy though, even though it is unworkable and unstable

Super President Trump gets to do the mazes on the backs of restaurant kids menus and tweets while Regular President whoever is in your head does all the 'boring' work about legislation and foreign affairs.

[Efilroft Sul]

11. Those mazes might be too challenging for him, though.

But if he would rage-tweet about how difficult they are, that would be AWESOME.

8. Under that premise, you'll need a 3rd potus for

photo ops, TV interviews, daily press announcements, twittering, golfing, dining with VIPs, attending public events and official ceremonies, being seen shaking hands and performing native dances with foreign dictators.
