What would happen if IQ45 up and died (of natural causes)?

[QED]

What would the MAGA cult do?

Would there be a big state funeral like for other former presidents?

[dchill]

1. It would cause a huge conspiracy theory.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Not just "a" conspiracy theory.

There would be many of them, all of which would involve alleged assassination by some or all of various Dems/BLM/"Antifa"/the Cheneys/Dr Fauci/those 2 Jan.6 planners who rolled on him/Mike Pence/Vindman and other impeachment testifiers/his enemy of the day... No doubt there will also be violence against some of these people, unfortunately.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

34. Guy's 75YO veins are filled with KFC grease and McD's special sauce but magats will never believe he

...could die of anything but assassination.

[LakeArenal]

2. I feel the same about Mitch. And what's left of Republicans.

Edit: Are there still Dead Pools?

[Hoyt]

3. Jeeez, 3 days of memorials for trump. There are plenty of vile GOPers who would take his position.

[Tripper11]

51. And then the resurrection! LOL

....because you know the nutjobs will be saying he will come back.

[Hoyt]

53. Don't doubt it.

[Celerity]

80. Zombie Trump

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Certainly put an end to his cult.

See Mao & Stalin for examples.

[Mister Ed]

29. Or else they'd claim he had been resurrected...

...and had ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God, and pass judgement on all whom the cult regarded as Unbelievers.

[WarGamer]

89. nah they'd just rally around the next "Golden Calf".

[WheelWalker]

5. Will contest. Bigly.

[yardwork]

68. Thread win.

[Sneederbunk]

6. MAGATs would head for Dallas and wait for him to show up.

[WheelWalker]

8. His arising might take longer than the traditional 3 days.

[ck4829]

7. You could replace him with a hologram and an AI and the 30% wouldn't know the difference

Sometimes, that’s what I think Steve Bannon and others are secretly hoping for.

[dweller]

9. The party

gonna be lit … don’t care if there are funeral dirges, clothes rent teeth gnashed sobs and wails … they can attempt a resurrection for all I care

At my house the party will be lit

✌🏻

[PufPuf23]

10. Unfortunately, IQ45 is a symptom so MAGA and the like would just be re-directed.

One has to wonder how the USA would handle TFG's immediate death?

It would be twisted we are so dysfunctional as a nation at present and at least 30% are batshit crazy and mean members of the MAGA cult.

The elephant in the room is the high level of toxic Christianity and the starkly obvious level of racism that exists (and I am not so sure more tribalism is the answer, may we be a beige species ASAP).

[NewHendoLib]

11. who knows, but there is not enough champagne in our house to celebrate that blessed event!

would be big time shopping time for us!

[Timewas]

12. There would be

A huge celebration

[qazplm135]

13. Florida man

Would step into the vacuum

[House of Roberts]

25. That would be a three for all.

Rick Scott, Rubio, and DeathSentence would stumble all over each other to be the next 'chosen one'.

[Polybius]

57. Nah

DeSantis has those two beat by a mile.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

14. The Magaloon cult would drink the Kool-aid,

so that they could be with their lord and savior in hell.

[Crunchy Frog]

79. One would hope.

[dalton99a]

15. New York Times: "As Transformational Leader, Trump Leaves Historic Legacy of Reshaping America"

[KPN]

22. Transformational apparently means destructive

these days. I say these days because there was FDR. But Reagan? TFG?

[lame54]

16. New Years would be rough...

All the champagne would be gone by then

[MissMillie]

17. Probably

and it wouldn't really bother me if there were a big state funeral. If there wasn't one, Before he was inaugurated, we had norms. If we abandon the norms we're just like him.

[KPN]

23. Yeah, I didn't pay any attention to Reagan's

either.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

28. I dunno

Nixon didn’t get a big state funeral, did he?

[MissMillie]

45. I don't remember.

And I don't really care.

But speaking for me (and only for me): Worrying about whether or not TFG would get a state funeral is WAY down on the list of things I choose to expend energy on.

[bottomofthehill]

46. Nixon chose not to have a state funeral

Instead, heads of government, foreign leaders, diplomats all traveled to The Nixon Library in California to say farewell.

[Hortensis]

49. Yes, in California at the presidential library, with living presidents etc.

I expect if tRump died in prison he'd still receive a state funeral, whether fellow presidents attended or just their official representatives, perhaps depending on what he was convicted of. After all, he was POTUS, and over 70 million Americans elected him, twice. A dreadful national disgrace, but when half the nation doesn't know it?

Not predictable is who his vengeful fascistic followers would make their new Der Leader, or would they fizzle out? Eventually? After the Koch types pulled their plug, the anti-establishment Tea Party populists went quiet for a bit before being reborn as tRump's authoritarian extremists.

[bottomofthehill]

47. Correct, he is a former President, he gets a state funeral.

If his family wants it

[LeftInTX]

73. I'm sure Trump's will states, "The biggliest state funeral ever"

[bottomofthehill]

75. Will want it at Mar-lardo so he can charge the US Government one last time

[pressbox69]

19. You would see

the slow demise of the Trump cult and the rise of the DeathSantis cult. So sad that DeathSantis already brainwashed his three little brats to love Trump.

[LW1977]

20. Conspiracy theories up the wazoo from MAGAts

These zombies will believe anything, even if the proof against it is right in their faces.

[gab13by13]

21. Fake News,

GQPers would embalm him and roll him around from rally to rally and he would win the GQP nomination. Even Melania won't notice the difference.

[dalton99a]

24. +1. They'd parade his carcass around like Reagan

At taxpayer expense, of course

[Sneederbunk]

27. I am thinking Lenin in Red Square.

[PlanetBev]

32. I saw Reagan's funeral procession go by my apartment in Thousand Oaks

I live twenty minutes below the Reagan ranch in Simi Valley. I was out there on the street, of course. Wanted to make sure he was dead. I did enjoy the missing man formation fly over.

[PlanetBev]

26. I would like to be in NYC when that happens

Their rotten native son declared dead? Times Square would be like VJ Day in 1945. The celebrations would go on for days.

[TreasonousBastard]

30. Thae state funeral is for the office, not the person, so we're...

stuck with one. But it will be a short one.

God help us, though, if he is assassinated. We'll never hear the end of it.

[pwb]

31. The crowds at the funeral will be the biggest ever.

Even when the streets are bare when his procession goes by. Celebrations will bring more people out.

[PlanetBev]

33. I'd love to be there, hurling tomatoes on Pennsylvania Avenue

Big, fat, juicy, overripe beef 🍅 🍅.

[Bayard]

35. The cause will continue

He will be canonized--Saint Donald.

[Sogo]

36. We would all rejoice!

Ding dong, the witch is dead....

[Submariner]

37. His gravesite would be listed on Trip Advisor as a must see international urinal

[GoneOffShore]

41. The waiting list is already very long.

[shanti]

81. He probably will have

a family crypt located on private property, surrounded by a high fence, just to preclude that scenario.

[QED]

82. He has a gravesite at the NJ golf club.

Sorry about the Fox link. The date on the article is 2013. Not much more at link.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. – Donald Trump has been given permission to make New Jersey his final resting place.

Officials in Bedminster tell The Star-Ledger that the township's land use board granted approval Sept. 12 for Trump to build a private cemetery on the grounds of the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

Board secretary Trina Lindsey says the board voted to grant approval for a maximum of 10 grave sites, limited to Trump and members of his immediate family. A spokeswoman for the Trump organization declined comment to the newspaper.

[vercetti2021]

38. Throw a party

Only time I'd celebrate someone dying.

[Buns_of_Fire]

39. Lots and lots of paintings (on black velvet, naturally)

depicting him ascending the escalator to heaven, complete with weeping angels and flocks of cherubs kissing his manly butt. ($59.95 plus shipping, credit cards accepted.)

[48656c6c6f20]

40. If he held a huge event, I mean like millions

And served coolaid, I'd be happy as shit. Problem is finding a venue for 75 million.

[cayugafalls]

42. Earth would lose 430 lbs of crap...no amount of toilet paper would rid her of the stain.

Only time...

[tirebiter]

43. I know what I would do

[Mr. Ected]

44. His Estate would run for President

And the MAGATs would vote for the triumvirate of Jr., Ivanka and Eric to take us to the Promised Land.

[Buns_of_Fire]

48. The kids would have his carcass stuffed, mounted, and

displayed in perpetuity at Morte-a-Lardo (which would become the new headquarters of Trumpatology). And for a very reasonable $50 admission, the disciples may enter the holy bathroom to view The Great Man, straining to produce another nugget of wisdom (thanks to the magic of animatronics).

Nuggets of Wisdom may also be purchased at the shrine's gift shop, only $29.95.

[Retrograde]

59. To be really up to date

those nuggets will have to be an NFT - like Melania's latest scam! And priced much, much higher.

[Fullduplexxx]

50. I'll take any cause

[Hekate]

52. The movement to overthrow the government is in motion, at this point. TFG is important, but...

…not critical, to its continuance.
JMHO

[634-5789]

54. I can't wait to find out!

[PortTack]

55. Partying in the streets..all night dancing and other celebrations

[FakeNoose]

56. I believe they'd try to use a "body double" and fool people into thinking it was Chump

I wouldn't be surprised if the "deep state" ultra-conservative think tanks are already considering that move. Sooner or later somebody will make a movie about it, just to give people the idea that it can be done.

[GoodRaisin]

58. I'd celebrate.

The world being rid of a very evil man.

[Iggo]

60. Don't get my hopes up.

[LowerManhattanite]

61. If any of you are in New York...

…drinks’d been on ME.

[doc03]

62. Happy dance. nt

[rsdsharp]

63. When St. Ronnie died, it was seven straight days of worshiping his corpse.

They think Trump is a god. It would be a month long orgy, at least.

[ThoughtCriminal]

64. They could replace him with a robot

The "Artificial Stupidity" software would be absurdly easy to write. Just generate insults from his limited vocabulary and pluck conspiracy theories from "Fox and Friends" and "Q". It's not like it would have to actually think.

[librechik]

65. then there is a God.

I'm an atheist, so just counting on science to fell the sick bloated evil puppy, someday when the telomeres run out for the Mango Moron.

[raccoon]

66. I would conclude that praying for specific outcomes works. Nt

[Tree Lady]

67. I think it would be interesting to watch

What all the republican leaders afraid of not obeying him would do on voting. Would they be threatened by the next republican leader or feel released to do whats right for the country?

I bet secretly a lot of republican leaders would be happy and relieved.

As far as funeral they will have one and if its when Joe is still there he and VP would go because they believe in being above politics at times like that.

His kids I think would leave politics if dad gone, I think they all followed him there to win his approval.

And I think the civil war in republican party would get worse as the non Trumpians would stand up more.

[alphafemale]

69. He's 70+ and very obese.

Any day now.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

70. Deathsantis, Abbott or some other asshole will take his place

[LeftInTX]

74. The good news: Trump was a TV-Star, tabloid celebrity, the others are not

Abbott certainly won't get much traction as a "strong man"..LOL

Roger Stone is trying.

Maybe the Duggar family will be their next savior....

It's gonna be a reality TV star...

Maybe the Duck Dynasty Klan...

Once again, it will be someone who was never elected to a previous office. The more outrageous, the better for them.

[Happy Hoosier]

71. The Quidiots would claim he faked his death...

And was gonna make a triumphant return to become king of the world, crowned by Jeebus himself

[Mr.Bill]

72. I've got my champaign chilled

for that very event.

[Vinca]

76. Why would the cult believe he was dead? Most of them are Q nuts who think JFK and John-John

will be cavorting with them in Dallas any day now. Personally, I'd go out and buy the most expensive bottle of champagne at the liquor store and celebrate.

[dalton99a]

77. Relics will be highly sought after

like Khomeini:


https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-06-06-mn-1929-story.html

Khomeini’s Body Falls From Coffin as Frenzied Mourners Tear Shroud
June 6, 1989 12 AM PT
From Times Wire Services

TEHRAN — Millions of frenzied mourners carried away with grief tore the white shroud from the body of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, toppling his half-naked corpse to the ground, before the Iranian leader was buried today.

Mourners blocked the path of a van carrying Khomeini’s body in an open coffin to the cemetery from the square where it had lain in state for 24 hours in an air-conditioned glass cubicle.

In a scramble for mementos, they grabbed the tightly wrapped white shroud in which Muslims are buried and tore it to shreds.

State television later showed the mourners grabbing the body and pulling the shroud, until the feet could be seen. The broadcast then was cut off abruptly for several minutes.

“The people love the imam too much,” a young man said. “They cannot bear to see him buried.” He said they wanted pieces of the shroud “as sacred relics.”

[Crunchy Frog]

78. Depends on when it happens.

In some scenarios he could end up in a Lenin like mausoleum.

[Deminpenn]

83. The maga ballon would burst

nt

[jmowreader]

84. Nixon got a state funeral. It's expected.

Okay, here’s what will happen.

As soon as Trump croaks, his body will be taken to Kentucky. There they have veterinarians with the equipment to cremate racehorses, which will be necessary in this case.

The ashes will be taken to New York on a government aircraft…not Air Force One, but a C-130. There will be four people in the cargo hold, one equipped with a Geiger counter. Once the crew has determined the radiation coming off Trump’s urn (a 2-liter Diet Coke bottle) has subsided to safe levels, they will turn over the urn to the White House staff.

The day before the funeral, the FCC will grant a blanket waiver to all television and radio broadcasts exempting them from the laws prohibiting the transmission of obscenities over the public airwaves.

A lavish state funeral will be conducted. The keynote speakers will be Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, AOC, and former Mexican President Vicente Fox.

A special statue will be unveiled during the ceremony: President Fox’s Mount Rushmore of Shitty Presidents, which is just Trump’s head four times. It will be made of spray foam.

A burial ceremony will follow. Because the government has an interest in not having a former president’s grave turned into a urinal, Trump’s ashes and six charge increments will be loaded into an M198 howitzer and fired into the ocean.

The festivities will continue as Ivanka, Eric, Don Don and Jared are arrested at the ceremony and taken away in a restored paddy wagon.

A three-day blowout party will immediately follow

[Poiuyt]

85. There would be sightings at Seven 11s across the country for years

Seriously, though, there would be enough conspiracy theories to keep Qanon thriving for a long time instead of fizzling out.

[LeftishBrit]

86. I assume there'd be a state funeral

Possibly partially online at the moment

MAGA types would probably say the Dems murdered him.

[roamer65]

87. I'd fucking celebrate like Chileans did recently when Pinochet's widow croaked.

[WarGamer]

88. Pretty simple...

The GOP would hatch someone WORSE.

He'd get the State funeral...

They'd run in 2022 and 2024 "for the gipper" and name 100 different airports, national parks and buildings after him. They'd make Ivanka Speaker of the House for a month...

People who think Trump is the founder of the present day craziness haven't been paying attention. He's just the first one who was HONEST about the goals of conservatives. Prior GOP'ers were just more successful at HIDING their intentions.

I think Ivanka would run in 2024 and I'd give her a 50/50 shot judging by how fucked up the country is today.

I don't think we'll EVER have another Barack Obama again. The good days are behind us.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

90. There'd be much rejoicing

[marmar]

91. They'd pull a "Weekend at Bernie's" with his corpse at the next RNC convention

[LiberatedUSA]

92. "Weekend at McDonald's"

[Buckeye_Democrat]

93. His cult will be plagued by misery and conspiratorial...

... thoughts as usual for them. And they'll continue to commit violence to punish everyone else for their unhappiness.

Meanwhile, I'll be happy and energetic enough to actually dance to something as goofy as this aerobics video from the 80's, cringeworthy synthesizer-music and all:
