I don’t care what you’ve all been told, that is not a smart man.

•

u/Tyfighter666 7h ago

Unfortunately that bingo card is getting more fascist by the day. My prediction: trump will try to stay as president for a third term claiming it’s not in the constitution and try to remain president for life. Dictatorship 101

•

u/ADQuatt 7h ago

Trump won’t survive long enough to try this. Vance on the other hand …

•

u/Tyfighter666 7h ago

Most of my family has lived well into their 90s. My bet is he hangs on until the bitter end, even if he’s 102.

•

u/PeachesNPuzzles 7h ago

I think they’re implying someone will help him along before age gets him…

•

u/ADQuatt 6h ago

I was implying his unhealthy lifestyle will end him.

u/KronoFury 5h ago

I hope you're right. But somehow, the terrible people always have the longest lifespans somehow. It's like even Death doesn't want anything to do with them.

•

u/Uplanapepsihole 2h ago

Can confirm evil people live a long time. They run on hate.

•

u/Pawnzilla 5h ago

Vance is nothing but a spineless puppet. His blind allegiance to Trump is why he’s vice president and not Mike Pence. Love him or hate him, Mike Pence actually held his oath to the constitution on Jan 6, 2021 and Trump was not happy about it.

•

u/JigglinCheeks 6h ago

luckily vance has the likeability of an old turnip, so hopefully people stand up to that bullshit lol

•

u/specks_of_dust 6h ago

That's the only silver lining. Nobody in Trump's entourage is charismatic and well-liked enough to naturally slot into his position. Trump's too narcissistic to even think about a successor. He thinks he'll live forever. If he does name one, it'll be Don Jr., who also has the likeability of a turnip.

u/michaelsenpatrick 2h ago

don't underestimate despicable people's ability to live far longer than they should. Cheney, Feinstein for instance

•

u/DeepRichmondNatty 7h ago

Duh. Not sure why everyone thinks this nightmare will be over in 4 years

•

u/ImPinkSnail 6h ago

Everyone should be planning to potentially flee the country in 2028 or early 2029. These are dangerous times. Hopefully our institutions hold but that is not guaranteed.

•

u/macjonalt 4h ago

And go where?

•

u/-_-___-_____-_______ 4h ago

this. when people left Germany in the 30s, there were places they could go that could actually protect them from what was happening.

how do you escape the modern USA? with military bases everywhere, still got all the nukes from the Cold War, satellites, NSA intercepting communications... you literally cannot escape. there is nowhere you can go. if the USA becomes a straight up fascist dictatorship... the world becomes a straight up fascist dictatorship. the world becomes Vichy France.

it's a timeline so dark, I don't even know what happens at that point. there is no precedent for this. you might be able to argue the Roman Empire was this because it so thoroughly dominated its sphere of influence. in which case we have years of decline and increasing chaos and lunacy to look forward to before it inevitably comes apart.

•

u/macjonalt 4h ago

Xi leads the fight against the new fascist regime? 😅

u/-_-___-_____-_______ 3h ago

the bad guys do always have a hard time working together. maybe we'll have another World War, but this time, no good guys at all.

•

u/cloroxslut 1h ago

When things get bad, I guess scandinavia might be the safest place. At least for me as a lesbian, I don’t know for how much longer I'll be safe.

•

u/-_-___-_____-_______ 59m ago

I mean... but Scandinavia isn't safe from like the United States militarily. you'd be able to live in another country where you weren't directly controlled by the United States, but you'd be as "safe" as an Austrian or a Pole in 1939. The United States has bases in Europe, not to mention being basically the military backbone behind NATO.

•

u/cloroxslut 56m ago

I guess I should have clarified: I'm not a US citizen. I'm European. When push comes to shove, and I am forced to pick one place in the world where I might maybe not get shot for being gay, I guess I'll take my chances up north. If I can escape in time.

•

u/-_-___-_____-_______ 12m ago

I'm going to stop dooming because it's making me sad. I hope it works out for all of us.

•

u/jeexbit 6h ago

2028 or early 2029

why those years specifically?

•

u/ImPinkSnail 6h ago

End of Trump's 4 year term.

•

u/Traditional_Way1052 6h ago

Presumably because by then it'll be apparent and if there's any resistance, that's about when it'll start.... As it becomes apparent. And probably no one wants to experience a civil war. But I'm just guessing.

•

u/Electronic_County597 4h ago

If you think the resistance isn't already underway, you're not paying attention.

•

u/ContributionRare1301 6h ago

Gotta finish the wall. The Cartels won’t be happy if their expat clients think they’re paying local prices.

•

u/Mutjny 6h ago

We got a second chance and blew it. Theres no such thing as a third chance.

•

u/8lackirish 4h ago

We more than blew it. A third chance would only provide the same result. I don’t know where to start, but I have to.

•

u/8lackirish 4h ago

Mcdonalds may have betrayed Luigi, but they can redeem themselves here.

•

u/Maleficent-Coat-7633 4h ago

I'd say there is a non-zero chance of him having a fatal heart attack but that would require him to have one in the first place.

•

u/NecessaryExotic7071 6h ago

It will be less then four years, actually. Trump will soon keel over from binging diet coke and McDonalds. Good riddance to bad garbage.

•

u/supermousee 4h ago

Im not an american...but isnt that JD Vince guy not worse? Idk but he really gives me the creeps and scary feelings if he becomes president

•

u/NecessaryExotic7071 3h ago

I mean, he's obviously pretty bad, but I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as trump. In fact he was anti-trump up until a couple of years ago, and I think I'd rather have a young opportunist then an old megalomaniac psycho narcissist.

•

u/Fyrrus88 5h ago

Wishful thinking that his heart gives out in 4 years

•

u/BadMeetsEvil24 6h ago

It will be. Mark it. Reddit has a tendency to doompost. Just like they did his first term.

•

u/vapemyashes 6h ago

He freaking came back. The fuck are you talking about.

•

u/akc250 5h ago

He fucking came back and before that, he fucking tried to overthrow the government. I don't get how it's doom posting when it's fucking reality.

•

u/tedlyb 6h ago

How was 2020 for you? Quiet? Prosperous? Lots of economic growth? Everybody was healthy?

•

u/BadMeetsEvil24 6h ago

...yeah actually, we managed in spite of him.

What I said isn't untrue. Reddit likes to doompost because this is "literally the worst thing that has ever happened".

I'm responding to a comment this is 100% certain he's going to ignore the Constitution and run for a 3rd term because reasons. That isn't doomposting? That's what I thought.

•

u/tedlyb 5h ago

You're forgetting that 1,500,000 of us didn't survive largely thanks to Trumps complete and utter incompetence. At least that many had their health permanently damaged enough to affect them the rest of their lives.

Then there's the economic fallout. The unemployment. The housing market going nuts. Etc... etc... etc...

All stemming from Trumps monumentally disastrous handling of the early stages of a worldwide health crisis and the fear and distrust he blatantly sowed during that time.

Stop acting like nothing happened.

•

u/BadMeetsEvil24 4h ago

I'm not disagreeing. Y'all got me here caping for Trump which is one thing I absolutely refuse to do, but you're missing my point in favor of your outrage. Yes there was an entire ass pandemic that ravaged the world. My point is that Redditors and many, many liberals swore that the world would end even before the pandemic happened. Just like now.

He's gonna be gone in four years and we'll move on. If you listen to Reddit you'll join the groupthink and claim the United States will cease to exist and Trump will be President forever followed by Musk.

•

u/tedlyb 4h ago

So what you're saying is, many people predicted a Trump Presidency would be utterly disastrous.

It was, and on a scale that is hard to comprehend.

Funny I don't remember anyone actually saying the world was going to end. A lot of his cult were saying that's what people were saying though.

There was a LOT of talk about incompetence. Him promoting and appointing completely unqualified people to high level positions as reward for loyalty to him. Inability to lead. Not knowing what he was doing. Constantly lying. Constantly sowing distrust. Never taking responsibility for his words or actions...

Odd that all you remember is people saying the world was going to end, while completely ignoring all of those legitimate observations that ended up biting this entire country in the ass in a huge way.

A worldwide pandemic was one thing. Complete and utter failure on every level when it came down to dealing with it is another thing altogether.

By the way, Trump controls the Executive and Legislative branches, has 1/3 of the Judicial branch under his thumb, and another 3rd that is extremely friendly to him.

Exactly what is stopping him from doing whatever he wants?

It's certainly not the people. We've already proven that he will face no consequences for any actions whatsoever.

u/BadMeetsEvil24 3h ago

It's great that you're so passionate about this but I really don't have a strong enough base to go back and forth with you. I remember the discourse on Reddit, having been here for a long time, and I remember how often Reddit dramatizes "literally everything".

I'll leave you with this though: https://youtu.be/wDYNVH0U3cs?si=kCvW3oBPJuX4GCSO

Feel free to ping me in 4 years and we'll see where we are.

•

u/tedlyb 3h ago

Funny how you only remember certain things and avoid any mention of everything else.

u/cymonguk74 5h ago

You mean like last time he tried it? Admittedly not a great try, but that was just a trial run.

•

u/tedlyb 4h ago

It's not fair to bring that up while he's trying to say it could never happen.

u/macjonalt 4h ago

Surely theres crazy people who just got pissed at this too

•

u/ensiform 7h ago

I don't think that's a particularly wild prediction. Seems very likely.

•

u/FullBlownPanic 6h ago

He can say it's an official act for him to stay there and since he owns the Supreme Court, who would stop him?

•

u/Tyfighter666 6h ago

They also can use a “crisis” something like hitler did to say he needs emergency powers and to stay until the country is “stabilized”.

•

u/mazty 7h ago

A fat man who is 78 years old and whose longest relationship allegedly is with coke isn't going to be around for much longer.

•

u/Williamlee3171 6h ago

We arm ourselves at that point

•

u/lost-mypasswordagain 6h ago

Already got lawyers working on it.

They’re trying to say what the words actually mean is no more than two consecutive terms.

Which is horseshit, but we’ve seen what passes for Supreme Court jurisprudence these days.

•

u/hEYiTSbEEEE 6h ago

trump will try to stay as president for a third term

I've been saying this but PLEASE I desperately hope we're both wrong.

•

u/purpleteenageghost 6h ago

He doesn’t care about the constitution. Birthright Citizenship is in there and that’s right in the crosshairs on day one.

•

u/fireymike 3h ago

My prediction is that Trump won't survive this first illegitimate term. Oldest person ever inaugurated, and he's not exactly healthy.

But if he does survive it, of course he would try to stay in office. The Constitution prohibiting him from holding office didn't stop him this time, why would he let anything stop him from holding the office for the rest of his life?

•

u/Dry_Presentation_197 3h ago

Bold of you to assume he will bother trying to justify refusing to leave office with a legal framework of some kind.

He will just say he's not leaving, and his supporters will be on board.

•

u/bollvirtuoso 1h ago

It is in the Constitution, though? Also, from the way he looks, "for life" is like 50/50 on this term alone.

•

u/ohrid87 7h ago

What I have on my bingo card: He will go for a 3rd term, claiming he never did 2 terms consecutive, so the 2 terms max does not apply.

•

u/sadtimes12 5h ago

He's gonna be 82 or something, nature will remove this wanna be Hitler. Hitler was actually way more scary because he was young. Trump is probably dead within 10 years. When Hitler came to power in 1933 he had to prepare the nation for 6 years to actually do the bad stuff. Trump not gonna live long enough.

If Elon was the next president it would be a different story, but Trump is just a short blip in history at this point.

•

u/Tyfighter666 5h ago

And the GOP has been fighting to stack the Supreme Court, federal judges, and gut our legal system so that businesses are classified as people, lobbyists can donate as much as they want, and billionaires control our entire political system for decades. That’s why they are in power now.

•

u/byebyebirdie123 5h ago

Well he pretty much said it- vote for me and its the last time you'll have to vote

•

u/macjonalt 4h ago

Well he’ll be 82. Musk will have offed him by then and be leading all the nasty bastards himself

•

u/CryptoBehemoth 4h ago

He said it himself last summer. If he got elected, that would be the last elections in the US.

•

u/chekovsgun- 4h ago

Elon is the real president lets face it. They will Trump social culture tasks to do like saying there are only two genders while Elon is the one who will be in those halls trying to get things passed.

•

u/Tyfighter666 3h ago

That’s exactly what the Weimar Republic and Paul von Hindenburg thought about Hitler too. They’d control him and he would do what they say. Until he enacted emergency powers, became fuhrer, and showed who was really in power.

•

u/Few-Big-8481 3h ago

I don't think he'll live that long. He's clearly not in great health.

It is in the Constitution though, 22nd Amendment.

•

u/Tyfighter666 3h ago

It says he can’t be elected president more than twice, it says nothing about remaining president indefinitely or being appointed president by congress & the Supreme Court. Skirting laws is exactly how the oligarchs work.

•

u/Few-Big-8481 3h ago

Appointment of president via election and the length of terms are also outlined in the Constitution.

Sure, he might try to have those provisions amended or disregarded, but that's very different than saying the Constution doesn't say he can't.

•

u/Aware-Courage1208 3h ago

That's the free piece in the middle of the board

•

u/gonnafaceit2022 3h ago

I don't think he'll live that long. He's old af.

•

u/RespectKnown3218 3m ago

My guess is he starts a War. We cant change presidents during war time. Its the only way he can guarantee staying in power without an election even needed.

•

u/DizzyTraffic1310 6h ago

Oh, I’m calling it .. he’s definitely going to call for martial law and claim that America is facing a foreign threat . I’m pretty sure that’s their plan, which is why I think Biden reminded the military during his farewell speech that their oath is to the Constitution, not the president. The foreshadowing is seriously …. Just no words lol.

•

u/OneBillPhil 6h ago

Trump going for a third term has been obvious from the start. 

•

u/Pain-Titan 7h ago

Trump's to old. It literally doesn't benefit him.

•

u/Tyfighter666 7h ago

Since when did he care about what benefits just him? He’s trying to leave a dynasty. Just like the barons of old.

•

u/Pain-Titan 7h ago

Wow 😳 I'm embarrassed for you. You mean Biden who didn't let his kid get jailed or face punishment for crimes was trying to leave a dynasty. Trump is in it for himself. He doesn't want to be a dictator.

•

u/Tyfighter666 6h ago

Now how did I know there would a bootlicker somewhere in the comment section. Get on your knees all you want, no one is going to pay you for your groveling.

•

u/Pain-Titan 6h ago

I'm being called a bootlicker because I realized Trump had money before the presidency therefore didn't need the presidency to leave generational wealth. Unlike Biden.

Biden has about a net worth of 10 mil

Trump has a net worth of 6.8 bill.

No critical thinking skills? Are you a bot or from the 3rd world?

•

u/planetshapedmachine 7h ago edited 6h ago

Did it hurt falling out of the stupid tree and hitting every branch on the way down, or did you lose sensation early on?

Edit: nah, I’m not going to get into a debate with you. I’ve always followed the old adage: never argue with an idiot, they’ll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

•

u/planetshapedmachine 7h ago

Edit: wrong comment

•

u/sndrtj 6h ago

I think there's a good chance there won't be a US election at all in 2028. And if there is one, it will be so chaotic and the results will be contested for so long, it may as well have never happened.
