    Cognitive decline didnt stop the democrats with Biden, the republicans with Reagan or Edith Wilson running her husbands presidency after his stroke.

    The US has a shit record for accountability from the president and the people around him.

    Uh huh. Does anyone really think the GOP wouldn’t embalm him and do Weekend at Donnie’s for three and a half years?

      Haha I’ve been saying this for a while now, I think there’s a legit possibility. Once he gets too risky mentally, they’ll have him survive another “assassination attempt”, providing a reason to only appear on camera for safety. They’ll deepfake him after he dies and keep up the ruse.

    All a part of the plan. Trump is a Trojan horse to get Thiel’s puppet installed. As long as he does what they agree with, he stays. If he goes off script, he’s out.

    I noted this in 2022 or so. Seen 500 posts thinking they’re clever, “He’s always been an idiot!” No. Not like this. He’s utterly fallen off a cliff in the past couple of years, and as cognitive decline often goes, he’s falling faster and faster. Must be a full time job keeping him off TruthSocial and out of the public eye.

    Check his account on TruthSocial. It’s all but entirely links to news articles, and has been most of this year.

      During the 2020 campaign I saw video comparisons between him in 2020 vs him at the Repubilcan primary debates in 2016.

      It was really crazy to see him speaking in complete sentences and stringing points together.

    It will be timed perfectly after two years so JD can run twice and be President for 10 years.

      I genuinely don’t believe Vance has the “star power” that Trump has with his cult, or the same sway with SCOTUS and the House. I guess I imagine there will be some power struggles after Trump is no longer in office for whatever reason

      I hope that is far far away.

      He needs to become senile and abandoned by his dipshit offspring to a abusive nurse that makes end of his days a living nightmare. Really show him how he is “loved” by people around him.

        That’s not what would happen. They’re gonna “Weekend at Bernies” him as long as possible.
