When the fuck is his poor health/diet going to catch up with him? Him kicking the bucket would do the US a massive favour.

No matter how he dies, it will be turned into a conspiracy theory and his base will martyrize his stupid orange ass.

Maybe if it causes them to mobilize, that's an issue. More likely, though, they'll just write in his name for every election they vote in till they die.

Not if it's from natural causes. And you better believe when it happens they have a plan to make sure most know it was a natural thing.

You really believe that whenever he dies, if it's from natural causes, that the maniacs in his base will believe that? I guarantee there will be conspiracy theories about it the instant the news breaks.

Yes. But they know that people die of old age. It's not that hard to prove.

Oh sure because trumpers are known for respecting evidence.

Cognitive dissonance time:

So, Donny, are you being treated unfairly or getting what you deserve?

Of course he says that. It's part of his nothing means anything strategy. He lowers the signal noise ratio so much that any actual signal won't be recognizable anymore.

If he wants, he can prove it and pay for his legal fees all in one go!

Pay-per-view it. He gets dosed with Novichok, if he survives then he gets sent to an arctic circle penal colony, if he survives 3 years of that, then he gets beaten to death by the guards.

Wait wait, I thought he said Putin was chill

Putin is good but also it was cruel and unjust that he murdered his opponent. For Repubs, doublethink is as easy as eating potato chips.

If Trump got the same treatment as Navalny, the normal people of the world would be celebrating right now.

Maybe they should send Trump to a Sibirian Gulag. Maybe the cold will clear the fog in his brain.

I had an agreement with some friends to charter a jet and head to the islands to celebrate if he either got perp walked out of the White House or died in office, to just really go nuts celebrating.

I say we give Trump his own television channel. Nothing on the channel but him and his 6x8, 23/7. Can you imagine? Apart from one hour a day while he's alone in the yard (other than his Secret Service agents), you could flip to Lockup: Trump Edition and just feel sooooo much better.

I would watch the fuck out of that. For a week or two. Then I'd get bored. So would everyone else. And we'd all stop watching by and large..."The Donald" fading into obscurity, withering away behind bars...no cell phone to tweet angrily on, no hamberders or well done steaks with ketchup, no visitors...not even his own kids. His ego deflating day by day, having to shit on a non-gilded toilet in full view of the guards, a cell full of books that he can't read. Then, one day, the channel ceases to exist, but no one notices. And, unaware if he is even alive or dead, we all collectively forget he exists and stop talking about him forever.

Can this fucker just do us a favor and keel over already?

Interesting hypothesis. Why don't you go ask Alexei whether he feels the same way? I'll wait while you get back with that.

Or if you find him reticent, just volunteer for the same treatment and let us know, Trump.

Not to be downplaying trump’s problems, but last night I had Mexican food, and the mole sauce was, like, totally worse than a $355 million fraud case.

Damn that’s wild. Can’t even remember the last time I had bad mole. Chin up bro.

Is there a trump-free space somewhere? I don't want to know anything about this idiot anymore.

Well he did not fault Putin so I guess that kind of means he is getting what he deserves.
