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 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.
It's one part Stephen Miller one part Heritage foundation.
I believe it was Steve Bannon that previously referred to Trump as an "empty vessel." These people promise him the chance to grift to his hearts content and they pour their agenda into him.
His whole Biden auto pen thing is more fucking projection... He has very little idea what he is signing, he's just signing off heritage foundation wishlists and going about his day shitting himself and yelling at people.
I think they’d Weekend at Bernie’s him to pass the worst legislation you’ve ever heard of.
If it’s unpopular Trump gets the blame and he’s too incapacitated and impotent to lash out at them.
Basically what Trump accused the Biden admin of doing.
I mean, thats what they're doing now. He'll sign whatever they put in front of him.
"He'll sign anything that stays still long enough"- Ron Weasley on Profesor Lockhart
That practice isn't rare in authoritarian states. George III, Stalin, Nero, probably Mao. Now TACO.
That sounds delightful.
I’ll take “horrifically nauseous and hovering over a toilet forever and ever” for 400, Alex.
Oh so you want the actual autopen presidency to continue

Gtfo of here with stupid MAGA-speak and come back when you can formulate your own criticisms instead of just parroting this low effort 'talking point' shit you've been given
It's not a low effort talking point given to anyone. I made the same comment in another section of the thread thinking it was somewhat original. If he's mindlessly signing what is put in front of him then it's no different than an automated signature by a mindless machine.
The reference is to point out the hypocrisy of Republicans claiming Bidens use of auto pen meant he didn't know about or care about what he was signing and was too unwell or careless to do it himself, and then we have Trump, albeit physically there signing the things, mentally checked out so he's not doing anything particularly different than what crap the Republicans were saying before. Unless I'm misunderstanding it, it's just a statement on Republican hypocrisy.
I think it fits well.
