he's not gonna last the year because

- he can't put together a working executive branch, because nobody sane and competent will come work for him, and he's purging even the existing ones that might be willing to hunker down to keep their jobs and keep things running

- he has no coherent foreign policy other than what falls out of the trump family dealing with foreign governments to enrich themselves, and sooner or later even republicans will start to notice how much US influence is waning globally, and will learn that this is in fact a problem, because you can't retreat behind an ocean and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist anymore, particularly when your major corporations are largely owned by foreigners

- his public approval is hosed and will get more hosed the more literal nazi ideas he implements, because most americans actually DO still think the nazis were BAD, even among the magahats

- i still believe the mainstream republican plan, if there is one, is to use this opportunity to rush through all the cuts to the social safety nets and give the superwealthy whatever tax breaks are still left to give, then try to paint trump as the scapegoat, and the goat sacrifice is probably not that far off, because it turns out nobody actually wants obamacare repealed, as the republicans are finding to their horror, with their town halls suddenly filled with angry mobs asking them serious questions they have no answers for

...so what does Trump do after he gets impeached and removed?

They need to pay him off extremely well so that he goes quietly like Nixon

just the promise of a pardon for him and his family would be a very generous payoff, given what's already fairly certain public knowledge about his dealings

he hasn't been in power for nearly long enough, nor shown nearly enough strength and competence, to start arresting senators and congressmen, which is what he'd have to do to stay in power if seriously threatened with impeachment

NECROMANCY

Bumping this thread, because Donald Trump is going down, oh Lord yes he is

Repeatedly shown to be utterly incapable of handling foreign affairs, internal affairs, or reality between one sentence and the next, Literally All of America Except For The Russian Botnets is now waiting for this lurid scrotopotamus to be put in a home where he belongs.

I asked in the Trump Prime thread, you basing this off of anything or just gut instinct? Because I still think he's only going down in the year 2039 when he passes the title of Lorde Protector of the Trumpian States to Eric.

it's just the accumulation of fuckups, which is massive and would already be enough to get 20 democratic presidents impeached, and it's obvious now that donald trump is never going to stop loving up

and he can't even step back and hire competent people to cover him, because competent people will not work for him. the dude cannot get a good loving LAWYER to take his billionaire money, because nobody wants his stink on them or trusts him to actually pay them

and we can't have a POTUS with senile dementia, alzheimer's, and narcissistic personality disorder who's a mob boss out to enrich himself and his entourage, who are also all barely competent grifters and russian spies, for years

we all live on a planet, which is round, and very small these days, and america's population is like 4% of the world's, and our allies are now openly discussing a world where america no longer leads and it is directly because of donald trump

also, the GOP is absolutely going down with trump if they keep propping him up much longer, it's already clear that all their ideas are retarded because for eight years they have been advocating for the complete opposite of everything america has done and now they're stuck with that insane baggage, so gently caress you, turns out the reality-based community had an ace up their sleeves all along, and it wasn't really up their sleeves at all, it was just that they were, y'know, based on goddamn loving reality

I can imagine President Pence: everyone will be told that to move forward they all must stand with him, i.e., let him do whatever he wants. There'll be a general feeling that the serious people are back in charge even when Pence and congress continue doing the same things as Trump.

But I can't see Trump resigning or an impeachment succeeding, so he'll hang around four years. Democrat politicians will win in 2018 and 2020, but then everyone will remember they're a bunch of useless pseudo-conservative morons, so Republicans will win big in 2022 and 2024, and we'll be right back here again. Guess we can all sleep through the next few years.

imagine four years of a complete idiot with alzheimer's and senile dementia in charge of american foreign policy

it seems the 21st century is going to be the Chinese century, despite the severe handicap in their fundamentals, just because we voted in this goddamn idiot president and decided reality can be ignored by calling it fake news

good loving luck with that last one, usually that comes back to bite you within a decade
