And no matter how much of a control freak he may be, he cannot control time. No one has figured that out, not even Jesus.
But, how will his cult react when he passes?
Will they demand that he be put on Mt Rushmore? Will they request that George Washington be replaced on the dollar bill by Donald J Trump? Or perhaps re-instate the $10,000 dollar bill, which would please him very much, since he is so obsessively fond of money?
No doubt, some will request that a statue be placed strategically in Washington, DC. And some will say we deserve a national holiday in his honor, after all, if MLK, Jr has a statue, why not Trump, they will ask?
Perhaps they would like to make his birthday a national holiday?
Perhaps they can compromise? They can make the day he dies a national holiday? Then everyone can be happy.

(20,857 posts)If he croaked while in office they will demand he be put on money, possibly more than one denomination. There will be pushes to rename multiple airports or other public buildings after him.
Good people around the world will celebrate it. There will be jubilant street celebration scenes around the world, including here at home and in Europe. It will be similar to the end of WW2.
Only rotten people will mourn his passing.

Watergate seems like a walk in the park compared to this shit...

(131,231 posts)After Reagan died the GOP went on a naming binge, trying to name every possible road, airport, park, building, monument, whatever, after him. It will be worse after Satan calls Trump home - the one big consolation will be that he's dead. And when that happens I will celebrate enthusiastically. I don't even care if he gets a big fancy state funeral, because nobody gets a funeral unless they're dead.

People can also discuss whether it's appropriate to fly the flag at half-mast: Donnie considered this a real issue afterJCarter died, so I don't think he would want flag at half-mast for himself

The good news is there are MORE of us than them. We will drown out their pitiful cries and anguish with cheering, wild whoops of unfettered joy and a party atmosphere will ensure. It could last for days. Itll be difficult to rein in the unbridled enthusiasm amongst us and the dancing in the streets will be epic. Record breaking. The funeral planners might have difficulty getting us to settle down long enough to bury his mangy carcass.
I suspect his grave will need armed security guards 24/7 to dissuade the determined visitors intent on taking a piss or a massive dump on his grave. Others might take great joy in dancing on the gravesite. As a fund raiser for themselves Don, Jr. and Eric could sell tickets with various levels of desecrating his grave. People will stand in line for days to get their chance at a final tribute to their favorite villain. The opportunity to make a small killing will be too tempting for them to pass up. If they figure out how to tie in a coin or commemorative trinkets, theyll be set for life.
Hasten the day!
