I am guessing the pandemic is putting some unimaginable stress on him. And I would think that given his fast food lifestyle and his tendency to snort adderall, that is going to take the ultimate toll on him in the near future.

I predict he will vacate America, live in Russia, and have an internet TV channel or radio show to milk his supporters for every dime they have left.

I think you are close to the truth. He cannot stay in the US, New York state wants his orange ass in prison for his and his families charity scams. He deserves to rot in prison, but he won't let that happen, he will run.

Give us trump, and for every year hes locked up, we give you 2 years of lifted sanctions...think of it as an opportunity to forge a new future, a new compromise, if you will, wherein we give you a window to not act like assholes, and you take advantage of that.

50 bucks says putin cuffs him n puts him on the next flight to dulles.

Criminals are gonna Crime. And rats love cheese. I say it's time we start using that to OUR ADVANTAGE, is all I'm sayin here.

Putin would sure as hell throw trump under the bus. We just have to make sure it's the THE BUS WE WANT, and theres deals to be made there, I think.

I see him going right back to that, so he can keep preening in front of the masses and spewing his hatreds.

In a just world, he'd end up in prison but we all know how that works.

I doubt he would be welcome there. Most Russians know he is a laughingstock. Their media does not coddle him like ours does.

He may show up at certain organizations but mostly he’ll be a pariah. The only people who will want to be near him won’t be people he can stand being near.

Even before this catastrophe he was going to be regarded as one of the worst POTUS’s ever. Now he will have his own category.

If what normally would happen happens, the GOP will be in shambles with horrific in fighting and possibly a real splinter group(s). Think 2006 but HOOOOOG! BIG TIME.

IF we can win and IF he leaves, he will be a the most malignant force the country has seen other than when he was actually POTUS. He will win the republican nomination in 2024 and a real threat to be POTUS again.

very underated point, about how they change their stripes.

But, it has always been branding to wink at racism, misogyny, hating gays, etc.

He has taken it as far as you can go without flat saying it.

And, he has exposed them as the servile punks they are.

No one is going to lord over their brain washed zombie base like he does.

I see him retiring to Mar-a-Lago where he’ll settle into the role of GOP Kingmaker.

Mark my words: you’ll see gaggles of conservatives jetting into Florida to kiss his ring and secure his blessing, especially just before primary season starts.

The Southern District of New York will probably have a contingent at the inauguration for this precise purpose.
