Trump "predicts" his dirt nap will arrive "within ten years."

Trump stunned members of his inner circle by calmly predicting when his own body would be lying in state, according to a new report.

The 79-year-old president reportedly made the comment at Mar-a-Lago as television screens showed Jimmy Carter’s casket at the U.S. Capitol, telling the room: “You know, within ten years that will be me.”

The remark, attributed to a person familiar with his comments, appears in a sprawling New York Magazine profile, “The Superhuman President,” about the president’s health and psyche.

One senior White House official told New York Magazine that “the specter of death sometimes manifests in the 2028 conversation,” describing aides gaming out whether the president will be willing—or able—to mount yet another run when he will be in his early 80s.

If they can tear down the country so we can’t vote at all would be their first goal, they know realistically that Trump will be barely alive if he is by then.

For the opportunity to pee on Pisswig’s grave for $10 and to call the number provided .
He calls and is told he’d have to go to California .
“Did you move the bastard’s grave ?” he asks

“No sir , that’s where the end of the line is now “

for a president to openly talk about defying the constitution. If nothing else, every time they mention his unlawful aspirations they need to point out that it is, in fact, unlawful.

If his “two weeks” for health care and tax return predictions are an indicator, 10 years is unacceptable. I may be able to tolerate an actual two weeks of his bull shit. The world will never survive him and everything trump through the summer.
But, I will, celebrate 10 years of life, even 20 if he meets justice and it all is in a cell, televised. He needs to feel justice. No easy out by dying.
No hair spray, no paint and an undersized pink jump suit. And a cell phone with no batteries. Plus a cell mate, Bannon, in the same outfit, one layer, no soap, ever. Justice, the sweet scent of justice.
YMCA 24/7 blaring.
That’s all the humanity I can muster up.
Ya don’t wanna hear my inhumane thoughts and prayers. DU would outlaw me.
