      JD Vance doesn’t have the following or the charisma to pull off the nonsense Trump does. MAGA doesn’t work without Trump. Anytime MAGA has been in an election without Trump it fails pretty spectacularly.

        Maybe, but if he inherits a full on police state, he might not need charisma or followers any more.

          Maybe, but I don’t think it will last. I think Trump has a better chance at getting a third term than JD has at getting a first term.

        You only need a following and charisma to get elected, he would just be handed more power so that doesn’t matter.

          Nah, you need the charisma to convince the people in congress to go along with your ideas. Trump has that kind of sway and power because of all the lackeys he put in place. I don’t think JD could hold the same influence over them.

      I don’t want Trump to die. I want him just in the edge of mental degradation so there’s a constitutional crisis. GQP will hesitate to 24A him cause MAGA would revolt. It would be an extremely lame duck presidency.

      I want Trump to live long and quiet enough that he’s forgotten.

      I want him to survive a Cat-5 hurricane that destroys Mar-a-Lago.

      I want him to drool uncontrollably in a wheelchair while they take down his name down from buildings and golf resorts and turn them into shelters for the homeless and asylum seekers.

      I want all his sons turn into Viserys III Targaryen, paupers and laughing stocks that people entertain out of pity, not respect.

      I want him to live a long life in interesting times.

        It would be an extremely lame duck presidency.

        It already is. Haven’t you seen him sign those executive orders and it’s immediately apparent he’s never seen or read it before that moment? He doesn’t have any clue what he’s going to sign before they put the paper in front of him.

        Trump is in the White House for two reasons- make himself richer and avoid prosecution for his crimes. Everything else that’s happening is being masterminded by someone else. Smart money is on Stephen Miller.

        Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what “to the pain means.” It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

        That sounds delightful.

      “Trump is going to die any day now” is a thing people were posting in 2018. It’s a thing people were posting about Vladimir Putin in 2018.

      It’s all court gossip and click bait bullshit.

      I’m not too sure. Sure, he’s VP but he’s also not that popular with MAGA. If Trump would go (in whatever way possible) I’m sure it’ll lead to infighting.
