Will Trump Need to be Put On Suicide Watch After Losing?

[JoeOtterbein]

Seriously.

Considering his reported love for the infamous German dictator's story and his obvious future with likely dire legal complications in the face of a loss, I think it is something we should consider.

Sure, the thought might sound entertaining to some but I would expect Joe and the national Democratic party will be ready for any such event. After all it is not beyond imagination to expect the GOP to play it to their advantage during the transition. In ways that will be gross and possibly effective. And they would use it unsparingly and shamelessly to retain as much power in the Senate as possible.

I'm sure we will be prepared by pointing out the tragedy of suicide (my two brother-in-laws where victims at young age, plus a close friend) on national and local political levels.

I'm also sure that all of us here at DU will be ready to react with grace, in the event it actually happens.

1. No he does not have the courage to kill himself, he will keep fighting.

[JoeOtterbein]

16. I thought the same thing, when I was first told my wife's brother jumped from the Key Bridge in...

...Baltimore.

He drove to the highest point of the bridge, stopped his car, got out and jumped over the railing.

I could not believe it because it was literally the laziest and most needy man I have ever known.

He did not have enough courage to warn us even as he knew he was leaving his elderly mother for at least a day or two, helpless and alone.

I hated the guy for years before he jumped and yet after seeing what his suicide did to his mom, who died soon after, as well as my wife and very young children who actually loved him.

I was so angry then, and even now. But I still end up in tears in the end. We cannot let the GOP to use that pure emotion to their advantage.

[Stallion]

2. I Vote No

If he dies--he dies

[SharonAnn]

17. I'd watch him commit suicide.

[Enterstageleft]

27. I'll bring the popcorn!

[liberaltrucker]

46. I'll bring the Scotch

[Maru Kitteh]

48. We'll need some snacks. I'll bring those.

[Ohiogal]

3. No.

I want him to rot in prison

[Laffy Kat]

4. Um, no. No money in the budget for that, I'm afraid.

It is what it is; AND I don't care, do you?

[BainsBane]

5. No need for the watch

It's up to him what he does with his worthless life.

[unblock]

6. Define "need"

[nilram]

7. Let's not and say we did.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Just put him in a room with a gun, a bottle of drain cleaner...

and a chair standing under a good strong noose.

Make sure he has options.

[Bongo Prophet]

9. You mean like a "pay-for-view" type of thing? A lot of people would watch that.

[lagomorph777]

57. OMG Hahahahhaaaa!

[lame54]

10. How much are tickets going for?

[regnaD kciN]

11. No, he'll need to be put on Coup Watch...

He’ll kill the country before he kills himself.

[klook]

26. That's my vote. (nt)

[LizBeth]

12. I have no problem with not a watch... I am cool with that what he has done to us as a nation.

[UTUSN]

13. Nah, he'll be shooting his mouth off about how terrible things are without him.

If only it will be from a cell or exile.

[BigmanPigman]

14. I thought he said he'd have to leave the US if he loses.

I'm holding him to that. I am sure N Korea, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, etc will be more than happy to welcome him. Since there is no foreign travel I guess he will have to rot in a US prison next to Ghislaine Maxwell or perhaps in Guantanamo.

[JoeOtterbein]

21. I'm wondering if Trump might be thinking, "WWHD"...

...What Would H....r Do?

Trump has followed the storyline to a period as far as he has been allowed to do by now. Also, remember his close family may be at risk.

[First Speaker]

15. I'd be glad to volunteer to be one of the "watchers"...

...I need to catch up on my sleep...

[Imperialism Inc.]

18. I mean, I'd watch it i guess... Maybe. But it would probably

be more humane to let him him do it in private.

[StarryNite]

19. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

[moondust]

20. You mean like Epstein?

I'm sure there will be cameras but can't guarantee they'll work.

[JoeOtterbein]

25. Actually, I'm thinking more like an intentional overdose of...

...cocaine and opioids.

[moondust]

31. I wouldn't rule it out.

He may hit the wall when all the media attention and troops saluting and ass kissing and free golf trips and superspreader parties come to an end. Of course he may have a hard time getting cocaine and opioids into prison.

[JoeOtterbein]

33. I'm thinking you may have never been in...

...prison!

Thanks for the laugh I needed!

[SoonerPride]

22. He is too much a coward to take his own life

He will gladly take thousands of other lives.

But he’s a coward and couldn’t end his own life under any scenario

[ginny skinny]

23. No.

If he loses....absolutely no one will give a sh-t if he offs himself. The Republican party would be relieved.

[The empressof all]

24. No....It will be three months of constant whining and attention seeking.

He will up the ante and torture us all for "not liking him"

[KentuckyWoman]

28. No chance.

I don't believe he really cares if he's re-elected. He is just riding the gravy train as long as possible before burning all the bridges.

[sboatcar]

29. He definitely seems to be adopting the Hitler in the bunker mentality

[Buckeye_Democrat]

30. He loves himself too much to do that.

He'll probably make escape plans, and try to spite this country which "wronged him" before doing so.

[JoeOtterbein]

32. I've never personally known anyone who was more in love with himself than my wife's...

...brother. But he still managed to jump over the railing.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

35. I guess it happens sometimes, then.

Trump just strikes me as the type who will keep fighting anyone who doesn't love him as much as he loves himself.

[JoeOtterbein]

39. Trump has indicated, that for him, losing is not allowed. Just as his father told him.

He will not be able enough to handle the rejection.

[sarcasmo]

34. Fleeing the country watch.

[MontanaMama]

36. He's a malignant narcissist.

There’s no way he takes himself off the planet. Cholesterol might do it...Putin might too but the MF would never do it himself.

[Initech]

38. His fast food diet and complete lack of exercise will take him out long before an assassin could.

[Initech]

37. No, but I think Twitter should lock his account for a few days.

[RainCaster]

43. Twitter should lock his account forever

His staff argued in court this week that what he says on Twitter is just "blowing off steam" and is not any sort of official communication.

So, given that, Twitter should close his account for being abusive and not in the publics interest.

[Jirel]

40. Does anyone care?

I'll be planning a trip to pee on his grave while toasting karma. There is no pity for this son of a bitch. May he personally experience all the suffering he has caused others.

[JoeOtterbein]

41. Don't forget he leads a death cult. They do not care about themselves enough to even wear a damn...

...mask

[IBEWVET]

42. I would be glad to be a guard like Epstein had

[GulfCoast66]

44. I don't care. Do you.

[smirkymonkey]

45. I don't really care, do U?

He'd be doing us all a favor, but I doubt someone so narcissistic would off himself just like that. He will make us all suffer first.

[OneBlueSky]

47. more likely on pardon watch . . . for himself and family . . . (n/t)

[Buckeyeblue]

49. No, there is money to be made...

Trump TV will get a lot of initial attention before it dies out.

[malaise]

50. I hope not

Let him proceed

[JoeOtterbein]

54. Of course!

I would much rather *rump spend his final days in the confinement he deserves. Watching as the world humiliates him. At least as much shame as we have suffered under him.

The thought that the public will be seen shaming him on the TV over and over and even just the possible humiliation like such, may force his hand before we have the chance to see him suffer even a little bit.

[Hekate]

51. No. He'll have to be watched to stop him from setting off nukes.

His tantrums will be frightening. He might have to be kept from flying off to Moscow on AF1.

But to actually destroy his precious self? I doubt his narcissism would allow it.

[Vinca]

52. No! But - finally - a use for those loooooong ties.

[betsuni]

53. That's ridiculous.

He can't remember anything, each day is new, there's no brain activity involved.

[LiberalFighter]

55. No - I doubt he knows how to use a firearm.

His only other options would take an overdose of the covid-19 drug he took before.

[Whiskeytide]

56. Narcissistic personality disorder is generally ...

... a protective trait against suicide. It can happen, but it’s rare.

[moonscape]

58. No, but I will be if he wins. n/t

[jmowreader]

59. No. He's too much of a wimp to kill himself.

I think we really need to put him in Protective Custody. Right now, he's paying his debts to the various foreign actors he owes millions to through the power of his presidency and the favors he can do. If he's voted out of office, all that stops - and some of those people would have absolutely no problem whacking the bastard.

Either we lock him up for his own good, or he goes for a ride.
