Former President Trump’s decision to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate is fueling Republican angst that his rivals will have little opportunity to catch up to him in the polls.
He has access to better healthcare than 99% of the rest of us. Despite his best efforts I don’t think we’ll be rid of him anytime soon.
I think he’s going to flee America and do some sort of radio / online media message as a deposed
dictatorpresident . And continue to grift until he can’t.Unless he has an “attack of conscience” and “commits suicide”. Inside a guarded cell. Where he’s being watched 24/7.
You know, the usual way.
Edit: honestly, I’m curious about the downvotes. Do people think I’m suggesting this is a thing that should happen? I think this would honestly be the worst possible result. And, call me a pessimist, but that’s why I’m afraid of it happening. They’ll be able to control him and his cult much better with him dead than alive.
Ah, the ole Epstinearoo. A classic to be sure.
That won’t happen as he may turn out to be more dangerous dead than alive.
You can stick him in prison and then people can forget about him but if he dies he becomes a martyr.
There is no scenario where Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump doesn’t wind up with the same historical reputation as that of Benedict Arnold. His crimes were arguably bigger than Arnold’s crimes.
Oh, I completely agree he will be far more dangerous dead than alive. Particularly because they won’t struggle to control him anymore. I wasn’t suggesting it should go that way… More suggesting that I can easily see it happening. On purpose. Specifically so that they can control the narrative.
