    Well yes but what are they going to do about it now? It’s not like he needs to be put in power again, and literally any scandal will fall off him like water on a duck

      I was thinking about this. How funny would it be if Trump just… Did nothing? Refused to sign legislation, made zero executive orders, just golfed for four years straight? It’s not like he needs to keep people happy so they’ll re elect him, he’s no longer eligible to run.

      The problem is that winning only postponed his problems for four years, and he certainly is already worried about when that time comes. He’ll be looking for a solution, and for that he’ll need the favor of people in power. So it’s amusing to think he might just chill, but I really doubt he will :(

        My conspiracy theory is that Trump will be a useful idiot until he’s not, in which case he will be replaced one way or another by JD Vance.

          I keep saying this also… Vance doesn’t talk like he’s just some VP dude trying to fix some random cause… He is planning on saying trump is unfit the first chance he gets… I believe a lot of them are actually tired of trump but he’s so good for them this is their chance…

        If he lives that long … He’s out of shape, he has had major health issues recently… He doesn’t eat very healthy… And he’s going to be the oldest president by the end of his term beating out Biden who if I’m not mistaken was too old…

          If there’s anything American society has taught me over the years, it’s that good things happen to rich people - whether they’re good or bad is irrelevant.

          I thought of that too, but I don’t think Trump’s ego allows him to consider that he might die some day.

            I’m not sure that he’s even mentally capable of the abstraction necessary to consider such a thing. If he did a freaky Friday body swap with a somehow horny 7 year old boy, I’m not sure we’d ever know the difference. Dude likes trucks and cops and hamberders, and has absolutely zero media literacy and introspection skills.

              That’s kind of accurate and it’s weird that I’ve never thought about that before
