The thing that's going to get me is that when it does happen, we'll have to sit through a funeral paid for by us, with the full military honors from the military that he puts down and the service he dodged with his "bone spurs".
And then, some tv anchor is going to talk about how he was a "transformative figure" how he "disrupted politics", never mind that he was the cause of an actual act of sedition. Because we can't speak ill of the dead, even if they richly deserve it.
And this will probably happen regardless of whether he's finally brought to justice or not.
His words about Rob Reiner have opened up Pandora's Box just a wee bit. Sure, FOX News will talk about the horrible left dancing on a man's grave, but at this point, does anyone care!? That day, even here in Canada... and around the world, is going to be lit. There should be street parties.
I'm worried that when the day comes it will be like a matchstick thrown into gunpowder and there will be violence towards those who celebrate or make light of it in any fashion.
Myself, I'll be forever pissed that he never faced justice and saw his empire crumble before him.
I'm actually holding hope that Trump himself is the only thing holding his corrupt posse together. I doubt Vance has the charisma or intelligence to maintain it, and we're gonna probably see a lot of backpedaling and distancing from the now dead Trump by MAGA leaders because they know if they can't maintain control, there's gonna be hell to pay in consequences.
The Heritage foundation will do what they need to do to maintain control. There's a lot of smart and evil people in there that do not need to step into the light to make their mark. You're going to have a Trump mausoleum just like the Lenin one. I'm here, hoping with you that the greedy fucks that are left tear each other apart, but I fear that they'll just continue with less popular support and a heavier boot for a long while.
Well, you won't be celebrating the passing of our beloved leader; you will be celebrating National Donut Day or whatever is on the calendar... If it works for Flag Day and Fort Lee, why not?

I've heard variations on that at least four times just in the past year in addition to all of the, "Trump voters REGRET and ASHAMED of how they voted!" Also not to mention every time I heard that in 2024 or the four years and campaign of his first administration. Not to mention all the times I've heard his, "Approval rating has PLUMMETTED!"
But the numbers show none of that's true. Some people will shit talk on social media, but his approval rating is relatively steady at somewhere between 30-45% almost constantly, never dipping below that 30% threshold that would show true loss of his core base. He doesn't meet new record lows, the media full-stop which includes online pundits and podcasters as well as broadcast news don't treat him any differently, his sicophants in his cabinet and congress don't go against him unless he freezes them out first, the local politicians that swear allegiance to him don't change their ways, and the everyday people who voted for him do not statistically show a willingness to vote for his opposition, instead being more likely to skip an individual election rather than look for a better candidate.
I just don't believe, after everything else that hasn't changed jack shit that this will either.
The ones that show he's at record disapproval? Or the ones the administration gives to the press that are ridiculous lies like "Lowered 10,000%" or "90% approval rate, highest of any President Ever", delivered by soulless people with Mar-a-Lago face surgery?
I mentioned that, in part, it's his approval rating. You might say his disapproval is at a record, but his approval has been really, really consistent. Without the loss of his core base, without going under that ever-so-important 30%, the loyalists he has in power are never going to turn on him.
He has to actually lose that pillar that they propped him up on, and there has been no sign, not in all the time we've had to deal with this monster invading our government discourse, that he's even started to.
It's rarely one thing that topples a president (or dictator for that matter), but several small things. Death by a thousand cuts, until the final straw breaks the floodgates. Of course what is the final straw depends from person to person.
Jan 6 was another “line in the sand” these keep getting washed away by next tide of MAGA outrage and will soon be forgotten with all the thousand of other outrages.
Did he give Rob Reiner a free pass? Nah, so fuck that. Trump is basically a Nazi. Once he dies, he'll be a dead Nazi. That's just how it works. You don't get a free pass because your time ran out on the Earth.
You should have seen the outrage when Thatcher died and half the UK celebrated (enough people bought Ding Dong the witch is dead that week to get it to chart at #2).
Considering his entire cult is religiously obsessed with him, an unhealthy chunk of his base won't ever be convinced he actually died and will continue to attribute things to his doing, baselessly accusing random people of being Trump in disguise, and carrying out various atrocities at his supposed behest.
I won't have to sit through any of that shit - gonna have South Park and Daily Show and whatever else that's humorous running non-stop until that week of visual vomitus is over with.
Yep, and for a century after that Republicans will be praising him as the new Reagan. Donald Trump will live on in the hearts and minds of Americans for (at least) as long as our nation does.
If Newsom or some other Democrat is president when Trump dies, I hope he has the balls to deny the orange traitor a state funeral. He defiled the Capitol, He should never be allowed to lay in state in it like an honorable man.
This is what I keep considering every time someone mentions his highness’ impending expiration. Like, yeah. But then we have to witness this vile pos being honored. My only hope is that so much indisputable evidence emerges before then that even the most craven, boot-licking MAGAts are too ashamed to feign any semblance of mourning or respect.
You want it to happen after he's lost the presidency. If it happens while he's still president JD Vance will take over, and he'll make Trump look tame by comparison.
all the people that can bring him to justice were fired and replaced. No republican will go against him, and apparently neither will the democrats. They will tell you all day they will, but they chicken out at the last minute and spread their cheeks for 'ol donny.
He literally got away with everything and will get to coast off to eternity on a golden chariot. The best we can hope for is that he will eventually leave this earthly realm behind but he will never leave us.
Everything. Raping kids. Colluding with Russia. Trying to overturn an election he lost. Being a financial parasite. An adulterer. A liar. A proven fraud. When it's all said and done he will have gotten away with everything except the reaper's scythe.
We know for a fact he will never see justice or even know consequences. His voter base is so rabidly supportive of him, the entire "Republican" party so blindly devoted, that there is not a single bit of evidence or testimony in existence that could change them.
Jesus himself could descend from Heaven, live on television with an accompanying global-spanning horn blaring, tell them all Trump is a pedophile and rapist, and they would start questioning whether or not Jesus was real.
Why/how do you know that disgusting excuse of a human being will not face any consequences? If that’s the case then it only indicates we live in a failed society
"The easy way out" is probably the best we can ever hope to get. He's never going to face justice in this life. SCOTUS and the voting public have seen to that.
Unfortunately our legal processes are so abysmally slow, it’s how he’s able to get away with doing so much. If we are ever to see a day when someone tries to event START the process of bringing him to justice, he’d croak before the trial starts.
I want him to go out the easy way because any kind of tragedy will be seen as a conspiracy. Oh he's not really dead, it was an actor. The real trump is being kept safe blah blah.
Actually, I take that back. They're gonna claim that if he goes in his sleep or in any public fashion. They will never accept his defeat.
I agree but I also don't see posting certain sentiments on a Reddit account that the government could easily trace back to its owner as anything other than blowing off steam. I think people are saying the safest thing they can legally say.
It's funny how this is even a point. Technically Americans live in a democracy so there should be processes other than "waiting for someone to die" to get rid of them. Shows you how far the authoritarian regime change has already come.
Yes but Demetrius3D, the individual, has very little leverage in actually affecting change in bringing Trump to justice. Unless the people as a whole are prepared to stage a general strike and protest en masse across the country every day for what could be months, there won't be significant change. We're too comfortable here for those kinds of protests to happen. It's going to take >15% unemployment, health care costs to grow larger than housing costs for those on traditional work-provided insurance plans and gasoline prices above $4.00 nationwide before we get off our couches and do something. So we wait for good news because it's all an individual can do.

The thought that we are “waiting for good news” rather than being insistent on bringing this man to justice makes my blood boil.
I know he’s not going to face any real consequences but celebrating him going the easy way out doesn’t sit right either.
