It must surely be imminent. He’s not in the best health if the reports about him eating mcdonalds all the time are true. He’s 79 which isn’t that old but I dont see many fat, stressed 90 year olds on a mcdonalds diet.

Say he had a heart attack next week… then what? Presumably Vance would take over as actual president, but I can’t imagine anyone being as bad as him. Would the maga movement continue with a different cult leader? Do you think things would meaningfully change?

    Nothing would change. It should be obvious that Trump isn’t the one making the decisions and neither would be JD Vance.

    I wouldn’t even be surprised if there was little attention being given to a funeral. Just as a show of power of how disposable the figure heads are.

    They could go the way of a leadership cult they have in north korea, where btw, the title of kim il sung is still technically, officially head of state, even though he’s dead. They simply invented a new position and keep him as eternal big leader. + something with christian nationalism, like “trump is watching over you guys from heaven”.

    Maybe I’m too pessimistic too, we’ll see if “they” will allow the mid term elections to take place or how that will go down.

      Oh yes, for about 3-400 of the less important daily decisions, he is 😉
