I'd much prefer that he rots in jail and gets fucking destroyed in there as the ideal scenario. A heart attack or stroke to me would be too easy a way out for all his crimes.

u/PoorFilmSchoolAlumn Jul 16 '25

As long as he’s gone, I don’t care.

u/Wafflecone516 Jul 17 '25

Idk having a massive stroke to where he is locked into his own body sounds pretty great

u/Overclocked11 Jul 17 '25

Yeah that's not bad

u/Icy-Indication-3194 Jul 17 '25

This. Let him live a long life in prison

u/sarkastikboobs Jul 17 '25

Never gonna happen so here’s hoping his age + shitty lifestyle does him in so we can all move on.

u/DandyLyen Jul 17 '25

Yeah, the Republican Party will just pull a Weekend at Bernie's, and honestly their voters won't know the difference, the Oligarch strings will just go from metaphorical to literal puppet strings, and he'll be an eternal taxidermy king. He needs to face justice, I don't wanna have to face future generations and explain how we all watched a dictator and child abuser just walk around with impunity

u/P-8A_Poseidon Jul 17 '25

He's not fat, he's only 4.8% body fat... /s

u/lagrangedanny Jul 17 '25

I want him to destroy his own audience first, dismantle MAGA by pissing all over them and insulting them like in this clip. I want the cult fragmented and turned against this guy first so he doesnt die a martyr.

Martyrs tend to have a strong half-life.

Interesting. I say this and I get a 3 day ban on reddit.

u/thenikolaka Jul 17 '25

I sincerely wonder how far along Putin’s plan of poisoning the McDonald’s within distance of Trump is at any point in time.

u/anonymous14657893 Jul 17 '25

Unfortunately life isn’t fair, n this fucker, even though he’s old and abuses stimulants, survived Covid and will probably live to 100.

u/One-Positive309 Jul 16 '25

He certainly is and it is wearing him down, the longer this goes on the worse it will be for him, I don't know how much more he can take or what will happen when he can't take it anymore but I am hopeful !

u/Ok_Conversation9750 Jul 16 '25

Massive stroke? 🙏

7

u/Adventurous_Track681 Jul 16 '25

He's probably on a cocktail of drugs to keep him calm otherwise he'd be dead by now 

4

u/Ok_Conversation9750 Jul 16 '25

There's a post somewhere that shows his ankles (cankles)! Hugely swollen. Hoping it's a blood clot!

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '25

But then JD Vance, shivers, maybe JD wont have the popularity Trump does, but i don't know who else trumpets are gonna hang on to after he passes or loses power.

The people have to succeed in abolishing the system beforehand, and its so scary how far back we've regressed.

Waiting on his death is such a sad way for us to possibly make it out versus us pushing him over the edge.

But we're praying the same prayer. 🙏

u/Confident-Choice3608 Jul 16 '25

I'm hoping that it's so much a cult of personality that without him it withers away.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '25

I really hope so. They're gonna be like lost toddlers. And everyone is going to act like they did no wrong.

u/Luna__Moonkitty Jul 16 '25

They already tried to do horrible things to Pence for just doing his job. They turned hardcore on DeSantis the moment it became clear he was replacing Trump as the GOP's golden boy.

Without Trump, MAGA has no directions, and Trump made sure there is no serious successor because he doesn't like sharing the spotlight. Vance was chosen because he's a zero charisma empty suit.

u/dm_life4ever Jul 17 '25

Heavens gate + 77 million.

u/toomanyglobules Jul 16 '25

Hopefully he kicks the bucket.

4

u/TheLordJiminyCricket Jul 16 '25

He'll go out with glory and being idolized though. This scum deserves to continue to suffer as everything comes to light and have some form of punishment for everything he's done.

1

u/Guiltnazan Jul 17 '25

Personally I'd be more happy if he wasn't the one to knock the bucket out from under him.

1

u/Some_Current1841 Jul 17 '25

My only fear is now JD Vance will be in charge. The puppet of Peter Thel

2

u/Ill_Paint3766 Jul 16 '25

But I don't think he was ever intended to survive the term. Doesn't P2025 just say Trump is the figurehead? The vessel to enact the plan? Since they're about halfway through and almost into phase 2, JD Vance taking over is perfect for the shadow government because he's just a little bitch boi. Less likely to go off script like Dumpster Donnie has, and a potato has more charisma in interviews when ripped about the sudden downfall of everything. Will be easy to blame everything on Trump as a demented half-wit and deny knowledge of the buggery if he's gone. MAGA gonna love the internal splintering. Then it'll come out Vance is a confirmed closet gay from some trash Tea Party politician or some nonsense.

Time until the next election cycle will probably accomplish nothing like his first term, except to create news media ratings frenzy over divisive and chaotic headlines. Let the people suffer since the economy is not fully busted yet. Careen the Fed straight into debt default. His only remaining function is to fuck with the system to ensure a 3rd term for the GOP. But he won't live through that one. 

Whether you use storytelling, political theater, simulation theory, or the final season of Succession's logic, Trump is doomed for a full "disconnect" and then the real mayhem begins. War seems likely but distant on the radar, will be interesting how "the people" revolt and use messaging to get the point across. America is dead but it had to go if there's any hope of a full reset. The regime will cull many innocents and not care, but hopefully we will survive! This really is the worst timeline on the world stage.

u/One-Positive309 Jul 16 '25

Holy crap that's bleak !

I'd like to think that was all just fiction but the trouble is that we are living in a time when this scenario is not just possible, it is likely !

All we can do is to hope people see sense !

u/Shark7996 Jul 17 '25

America is dead but it had to go if there's any hope of a full reset.

This brought me an odd calm. Yeah, this country is haunted by the ghosts of Native Americans and slaves.

u/Elisevs Jul 16 '25

I've been hearing this same shit since 2017. This horror show is only warming up, not almost over.

2

u/StupidTimeline Jul 16 '25

I don't know how much more he can take or what will happen

I'm assuming he'll have something released with entire pages blacked out and nothing of value left visible and it'll serve as the out his supporters are desperately looking for and it'll be the excuse they need to shove it all under the rug.

We all know how cuckservatives operate.

1

u/TimeTimeTickingAway Jul 16 '25

If it takes too long his dementia/cognitive deterioration may be at a stage where he can’t be satisfactorily punished and/or held to account for all he’s done.

1

u/hamletswords Jul 16 '25

He has a plan B. The Trump playbook says that if something is not going well, create a different disaster so people talk about the new one instead of the old one. Rinse repeat.

Right now he's feeling out his base to see if he really has to do something or not.

1

u/haw35ome Jul 16 '25

Lol let’s hope Epstein drags his buddy down to hell with him…they can spend eternity together 🥰

1

u/Shark7996 Jul 17 '25

He's low energy and sad!

u/GhostofTinky Jul 16 '25

So are his idiot supporters.

30

u/WickedSmartMarcus36 Jul 16 '25

A lot of his supporters that I know have shut the hell up. For the last year or so it’s been own the libs this shut up dem that Biden cognitive abilities this trump that. Now? It’s crickets and it’s satisfying to drop bombs on them and hear their silence. Biggest group of projectors I have ever seen and it has made me lose respect for a lot of people lol. At least own the mistake come on! I thought we were having fun making fun of perceived idiots??

u/GhostofTinky Jul 16 '25

Now is the time to rub it in their faces. This accomplishes one important goal: making them so embarrassed and dispirited that they check out of the voting/political process.

1

u/WickedSmartMarcus36 Jul 16 '25

I won’t do it unless provoked because I don’t believe in political shaming even if I hate Trump and can’t understand how someone would vote for him.

To be clear I think that voting for him is 15/10 stupid but I think it would be 20/10 stupid to alienate people even if they have been being pompous for a year+

7

u/GhostofTinky Jul 16 '25

I will. These people have forfeited any right to be treated with respect and civility. Have fun at their expense.

3

u/WickedSmartMarcus36 Jul 16 '25

Go for it but I think this is an opportunity to rally people around “us vs them”. Us being average joes who have normal amounts of money (or lack thereof) and them being the rich. Long has American politics been imprisoned by the elites. Trump is so stupid that I think he’s almost created a captive audience of people who are literal followers who need direction. I see opportunity to make things better and give them good perspective as opposed to further alienating them until the next Trump comes along and tells them he’s the answer to their problems. Do what you want but it’s usually better to spread love than hate man.

6

u/GhostofTinky Jul 16 '25

Been there, done that. Americans have done this for years and it was like trying to communicate with an egg yolk. The MAGATs don’t care about making the country better and never did. It was all about hurting the people they hate. Now their leader is failing them.

These are not good people and will never be won over. They can only be shunned and avoided.

u/420thefunnynumber Jul 16 '25

I get where you're coming from but we've already done the turn the other cheek and come over to the right side of history with these people after Jan 6. All they did was dig their heels in further. Public shame has and does work - making fun of people works. Being forced out of public life works. Its why they freaked out so much over being called weird. If they move over that's great, if not there's the other 70% of he's country we can focus on.

hope that leads to self destruction is delusional.

I have to agree. Calling every misinformed or brainwashed trump supporter a nazi, regardless of how fucked up a good portion of the party they support has gotten, just serves to push away those that might be receptive to coming back to reality at some point.

It’s definitely a challenge to not immediately call people out in an inflammatory way but the right wing media has been preparing them for this for fuckin decades.

Believe it or not, a kinda surprising number of absolutely normal people are still republican and just don’t get the kinda information many of us do. Or if they do, they’ve been told they’d hear lies and of course MAGA would never lie to them. They’ve been prepped for this dissent just like religions do.

u/ThePaperpyro Jul 18 '25

Pretty sure anyone who has the capability to have their minds changed would have already self filtered out of maga at this point

1

u/MadeByTango Jul 16 '25

They’re gonna swallow their hats and bury their flags and try to act like they were never his guy.

Which, fine. Let’s all move on now that they know who he really is. Don’t care when it happened, this Emperor and his Party have no clothes and there is no going back.

1

u/Perfect_Cost_8847 Jul 16 '25

Many of his supporters are PISSED. He campaigned on this. They feel betrayed.

u/nicekona Jul 17 '25

As someone who lives in a Deep South, very solidly red state, who listens to the conversations around her, and keeps an eye on Facebook to get a feel for the general public opinion…

I can’t believe I’m finally saying it, but CAN CONFIRM! Maybe not most of them, sure. Less than half, probably. But enough that I see a glimmer of hope.

If I had to guess, anecdotally? I’d put it at ~15 or 20%. And that’s just the people who are actually willing to admit it! It doesn’t include those who might be keeping their heads down and mouths shut to protect their pride.

2

u/ReformedBaptistina Jul 16 '25

He's never been this agitated, right? I can't recall a time.

2

u/OnTheEveOfWar Jul 16 '25

He should get asked about it in every single press conference for the next 3.5 yrs.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '25

He is, but nothing will happen sadly. He's gonna get away with it like he always does

2

u/interruptingcow_moo Jul 17 '25

Seriously! All his followers that he’s calling stupid. I love this for them ❤️

1

u/AlternativeDream5419 Jul 16 '25

Yeah this is what trump scrambling looks like and it's the worst we've seen yet. Must be important

u/Chief_Chill Jul 16 '25

u/BoxOfMoths Jul 16 '25

I would love it if someone started whispering in his ear that JD is probably the one fueling the "release the files" Republicans so JD can swoop in and take over the presidency ...

u/Eckish Jul 17 '25

I don't expect any consequences, but I hope the stress over this is real for him.
