I think he'll do something really dumb like sharing classified info with his kids or accidentally reveal something secret in a twitter rant. Whether that gets him kicked out, we'll see. If I had to bet, I'd imagine he gets bored after a while and realizes he can make more money being a talking head on TV/going on endless book tours. He'll blame this on the democrats in congress or the media for not letting him "make America great", absolving all resent among his supporters when he gives up.

I was under the impression that the whole chain of classification inherently came from the opinion of the President.

He's gonna launch the nukes without any forethought simply because he can do it. Even if he doesn't cause armageddon he'll help to normalize the casual usage of nukes in conflict zones. Lamebot has issued a correction as of 17:34 on Nov 18, 2016 |

I bet he's felled by a health issue after his wig blows off in public, revealing some heavy scarring and destroying his fragile self-image. Him lasting to 2020 with his diet is unlikely but possible...but he won't even remotely look good. Expect him to age quickly and badly.

While Trump is a lazy idiot who likely would want to offload the burdens of actually governing, he's also a jealous, petty man who doesn't like others play with his toys. One of the things that let Cheney do as much as he did was that he and W had a decent personal relationship, and W was/is at heart an affable buffoon. Trump had his heels dug in on accepting Pence as running mate for quite a while, didn't communicate with him much during the campaign, and from what I can tell doesn't even like him all that much. So small hopes on that front.

And it's not going to one of those things glossed over by history, it's going to be something that is historical and causes a real issue of how America deals with an executive that cannot do his job. He may not want to give it up, but his opinion won't matter if he makes the GOP look bad. When the GOP starts pretending he doesn't exist again that's when real poo poo will go down.

I have no doubt that Trump will probably gently caress up a lot. At the same time, I think his desire to keep holding rallies (which will all be broadcast live on cable in full) will allow to carry out the sort of Mao-like mobilizations that will either gently caress things up tremendously or just rile up people's hatred.

echronorian posted:Just lol is this happens before he's even inaugurated Weirder things, my friend. Trump has already run into poo poo with his infrastructure bill/scam. The GOP isn't happy about knocking it down to 7 trillion. Patter Song posted:Has anyone compared Trump to Mao Zedong yet? He'll have the Red Guards berate GOP Congressmen, force them into self-criticism sessions, and send them out to rural Kentucky for reeducation. I think we give Trump a lot of credit where it doesn't matter. If he was pulling in 75-80% of the vote, then yes. But right now all I see is the slight minority of voters pulling typical cowardly racist poo poo without enough organization or skill to pull off something of this magnitude. I think if Trump went against the GOP like this he would be immediately labeled mentally unfit by Pence and Ryan ala the 25th Amendment and removed from power. Yeah, we could have a fascist ruler in America, but it's going to have to bow to the GOP first. shave and a harelip posted:i think this is true and i am excited to watch the president melt down The first time he threatens nukes will be the utter end of his presidency because there will be no way everybody in the world doesn't react to that.

8 months into the term Pence is caught electrocuting the gay out of himself so he resigns out of shame and moves to rural Indiana never to be seen again. Trump appoints Kanye West to fill the vacancy but resigns the day before election day 2020 because he just wasn't in the mood to be president that day despite having a 85% approval rating from ending every war in the Middle East and making America great again. Kanye easily wins reelection riding on the back of Trump's popularity and becomes president for the rest of eternity.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:i mostly wanna see bannon fight the (((son in law))) If there's one driving motivator for Trump, it's advancing the interests of the House of Trump. Kushner is family (and wedded to Trump's favorite child, and father to Trump's grandson) and Bannon isn't. Trump, like a Medieval noble or a 20th century mafioso, prioritizes House Trump over any outsider. Ivanka trumps literally everyone in influence on her father, and Kushner is family through her. Bannon will not win a fight for The Donald's ear vs Kushner and Ivanka.
