Trump Isn’t Finished (www.nytimes.com)
submitted 3 months ago by silence7@slrpnk.net to c/politics@lemmy.world

Yet, Wilentz writes, “many of even the most influential news sources hold to the fiction Trump and his party are waging a presidential campaign instead of a continuing coup, a staggering failure to recognize Trump’s stated agenda.”

Stopping that coup means first winning the election — and then ensuring that local officials certify it.

That means:

Even if he loses this year he won't be finished. It will be 4 more years of fruitless legal action and another run in '28 even if it's from prison.

With the clear signs of cognitive decline already apparent (and knowing his diet and lifestyle) I think the chance of him being in a state capable of running in '28 is low - if he's even still alive by then.

The GOP will keep trying. They’ve been trying since the first civil war.

Even if “diminished” a new head will grow.

Lack of ability and fitness hasn’t held him back thus far…

He'll be like Salamanca in a wheel chair with his golden bell.

The dementia will have him either dead or in a bed drooling as he stares at the lights in the ceiling from the nursing home. He doesn't have four years left, I'll be amazed if he functions for another year.

You think that will stop him from running or someone from rolling him out like Barron Harkonnen?

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

That’s why he’s been grooming Donny Jr.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 22 points 3 months ago

Here's hoping he strokes out and has a heart attack at the same time.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Ideally after '28 so he can continue to "run" things into the ground.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Nah, still hoping for sinkhole or sandworm. If you are going to dream, dream big!

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 months ago

The ability to launch things from earth directly into the sun?

You're fired... from a cannon, into the sun.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 months ago

I believe this is called a heart-a-stroke

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He's not a fucking god, he's a pathetic piece of shit human. He cannot and will not overpower frontotemporal dementia. PERIOD.

Need proof?? Look no further than his father and how his career ended.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
