trump has been looking terrible. Anyone think he won't be with us much longer, and the dimwit will take the reins?

1. HELLO

THAT IS THE PLAN

Trump the fucking moron is what he has always been - A USEFUL IDIOT

[RidinWithHarris]

2. Hell, Trump is obviously not fit to serve now

I've imagined that a plan might exist to 25th-Amendment Trump's ass as soon as possible (if he's still alive to be sworn in).

The problem with that scenario is that Trump will only pick cabinet members specifically loyal to himself above all else. Can he be tricked into accepting people who will quickly betray him? Possibly. He's not to bright and easily fooled by flattery.

[Orangepeel]

24. he picked Vance

so, yes

[HarryM]

3. They are mere puppets

Doing their part for the oligarchy. Just as Ronnie Rat Raygun was.

[multigraincracker]

4. I don't think he ever wanted the job.

Just the title.

[NJCher]

5. the automatic audience

eom

[exboyfil]

30. Bush Jr. redux

Whoever is behind Vance (Thiel?) is the new Cheney. I do question whether Vance is stupid. You don't grow up in that part of the country and be a first generation college student that goes on to get an Ivy League law degree and be stupid.

Vance did what he needed to do to get on the ticket with Trump. He strikes me as more of an opportunist. I do wonder how far he will push his Christian fascism given who his wife is.

[Trueblue1968]

6. We can only hope they are both gone within TWO weeks. I dont care how... But pls GOD, take them away

Before they can get sworn in. Maybe Kamala could take the Presidenty. lol

[InstantGratification]

8. If they both died, I don't know what that means for now, but Biden would still be President until inauguration day

On inauguration day that would mean the line of succession kicks in, the Speaker of the House would step up. President Mike Johnson or President Hakeem Jefferies depending on who has the House majority.

[SomedayKindaLove]

7. Trump will be the figurehead, sucking away all the oxygen

While Vance and the 2025ers will be quietly cooking up schemes in the basement. Just like during the Reagan years.

[joshdawg]

15. j.d. himmler.....er vance is

chomping at the bit hoping trump strokes out, dies, or is assassinated so he can take the reins and implement his project 2025 quicker than the orange anus.

vance is dumber'n a 5 pound bag of stupid. He makes eric look like a genius...........that is why trump picked him as v.p.

[True Blue American]

17. Agree

I never realized just how dumb and men JD is. Until he won.

[TommieMommy]

9. DRump just wanted revenge on the people that turned on him.

[DFW]

10. I predicted a while ago that whoever won:

Trump would not be president in a year.

I still predict that.

[Blue_Roses]

12. I said 6 months

but give or take. His health is terrible

[Turbineguy]

33. Project 2025 indicates 180 days.

Trump implements the Project and goes.

[True Blue American]

14. I am with you on that. I have said so from the time Vance was chosen.

Peter Theil and the billionaires own him.

But on the Democratic side I blame the media hysteria over one lapse in the debate of a man who had been working day and night and the Democrats who pushed Biden out. I understand Obama and Pelosi had their fingers in that.

What do the rest of you think?

[PJMcK]

26. Biden or Harris? Wouldn't have mattered

Republicans got the trifecta. The U.S. is fucked.

[InstantGratification]

35. Depends on how much they can steer him to the outcomes they want

If Trump is giving them what they want and if he doesn't die in the meantime, they will try to keep him 2 years. That gets past the halfway point of the term, so it wouldn't count as a first term for Vance after the halfway point, leaving Vance eligible for 2 full terms after that. 10 years is plenty of time to purge the honest government employees, install yes men and secure Peter Thiel as the shadow emperor.

[JI7]

11. I hope so.

[JI7]

13. The best thing that can happen is for him to die soon and put the attention on Vance

Vance is boring and will not have the cult support. At least we might be able to focus on issues.

[get the red out]

16. That's the plan

I think that JD and the Heritage Foundation plan on executing the 25th amendment as soon as it is feasible.

[off-the-clock]

18. DT could step down after lawsuits are tossed. n/t

[Rstrstx]

19. In 2017 I was mad that all Trump seemed to want to do was go golfing in Florida every weekend...

In 2025 I hope to God that’s all he wants to do and won’t have much use for governing. Best case scenario is that he IS tired and doesn’t have the will to act on his worst impulses, maybe his age will work in our favor.

Perhaps the best thing we could be doing right now to jump-start the sabotage of his second term is by playing on his paranoia to discourage the Vances and Musks out there from holding any real power; convince him they are going to try and revolt on him at the first hint of a head cold.

A cabinet of dunces and yes-men who are more interested in photo-ops could be about the best we can hope for. If the head of DHS is some clown whose idea of mass deportations is a fluff piece on Fox over the arrests of three Haitians for shoplifting then go for it. Trump can sell that to his base all day long.

Unfortunately while his base is stupid enough to lap up the dog and pony shows Putin and China will have other ideas.

When he finally kicks off & JD Couchbanger is elevated, this house of cards will come tumbling down. JD has nowhere near the salesmanship or ability to sway a crowd that McFelon has. He's a completely unlikable little prick. That will make a difference to the mouth-breathers that worship McFelon.

[patricia92243]

21. He is just tired. His Dad lived into his 90's - with dementia. Trump is not

going anywhere. He will just stay on - crazy as a bat.

[VMA131Marine]

27. All of Trump's siblings are dead! ☠️

His sister Maryanne lived to be the oldest at 86 and she was in much better health than Trump is now.

[Dem4life1234]

22. That wicked misogynistic bearded one

Will take over.

[Deminpenn]

23. Thought I saw somewhere that he was on a GLP1 drug

like Ozempic. Anyone else know if that's true?

Trump looks like he's losing weight. His face is thinner and the skin on his neck is loose and hanging. His suits look like they're a size too big now as well. For someone as vain about his appearance as he is, you'd think he''d at least have new suits and shirts that fit.

[onenote]

25. Some DUers have been predicting Trump's imminent demise for years.

I would think that at some point folks would stop underestimating Trump. Indeed, there were posts here over the past couple of weeks proclaiming that Trump wouldn't be physically able to participate in any more rallies during the final days of the campaign. How did those predictions turn out?

Of course, at some point predictions of Trump's demise will be turn out to be right. I just wouldn't hold my breath.

And for the record, even if Trump's hand-picked cabinet turned on him and invoked the 25th amendment, he would resist in every way possible and I have serious doubts that the repubs in Congress, facing re-election in two years, would vote to remove him as would be necessary.

[Ocelot II]

31. Only the good die young, they say.

In contrast, that much evil has a lot of staying power. He looks terrible, and given his junk-food-eating and non-exercising lifestyle he should have been called home to Satan years ago, so he could go any time. But for now and the indefinite future, that flabby old carcass is basically a life-support system for a bucket of irregularly-firing brain cells just functional enough to fuck up the world, with a little help from his friends.

29. Nope he's fine

And now that the stress is off, he can sleep in and just do revenge and grifting and stealing. He really doesn't care about anything else. He's out of jail. His physical health will improve. Others below him will do whatever they want.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. One can only hope!!

[DavidDvorkin]

34. Unfortunately, Vance is far from a dimwit

He's evil, unprincipled, and weird, but also intelligent. And he'll be around for many years to come. That makes him much more dangerous than Trump.

[GaYellowDawg]

36. He won't be, and I don't give a flying fuck.

Whether it's Trump or Vance, we're getting Project 2025'd into Russia 2.0, with all the white supremacy, Christian nationalism, jingoism, crony and robber capitalism, and oppression that comes with it.

[Wounded Bear]

37. TBH, I rather expect it. I give him 2 years...nt
