    A stroke. Leave him in a semi-vegetative state but keep his mind as aware as possible. I want him to live a long life after that, in the worst possible misery: that of being a prisoner of your own body. I want him aware when the world celebrates that he’s become a bedridden monster that nobody wants near and everyone fights to keep away because he’s not relevant anymore.

      God that would turn me on so much. Him in a vegetative state where he was still watch TV and see just how much the world celebrates his decline. Watching as people crowd the streets cheering, dancing, chanting and shouting in celebration and he just gets to lay there and watch. Even Fox News is broadcasting it, calling it a disgusting act by the left but he still has to lay there and watch it unfold.

      All he can do is lay there and watch tv. The kind nurse turns on MS.NOW so he can watch it all day. Every day.

      That’s not enough. Make him unable to speak, unable to even move a finger to communicate, unable to blink. And then make him immortal, but let his body continue to decay. Let every nerve in his body signal the most exquisite pain possible. And let him never pass out. Let his exhaustion be impossibly immense, yet let him never have a single moment of rest or peace. I don’t want him to go to Hell. I want Hell to come to him.

      Thing is he has a higher chance of dying immediately after the stroke than someone who’s healthier than him. Or should I say, he has a lower chance of surviving and becoming said vegetable.

      With that said, I hope whatever happens to him is made public to a humiliating degree, is something that slowly and painfully kills him so he has to live with agony that doesn’t even come close to the agony he’s inflicted on others, and that he is conscious enough to know he can’t do a damn thing about it.

    If they find something iffy what’s actually going to happen though ? I assume it must be something like his heart etc that he would have an interest on maintaining. if it’s his brain that’s going, I doubt he would want to admit that and go back for further checks.

      I’d bet they actually aren’t telling him everything that’s wrong. My MIL has vascular dementia and I’m fairly certain they don’t completely explain everything that’s amiss. My FIL knows but I don’t think she does.

      I’d imagine it’s similar with Trump’s staff, handlers, family members, whoever is in control of such things.

    Trump undergoes a series of medical treatments designed to cheat death for another 7 months.

    First his chiropractors perform a slight spinal adjustment. Then a team of doctors administer eyedrops, painkillers and a vocal chord scraping. The whole ordeal leaves Trump twisted and disoriented.

      Yeah… Him claiming to be 6’3 and 215lb is hilariously insecure. That would make him roughly 30 pounds heavier and an inch taller than Justin Trudeau.

        I’m 6’1" and 250 lbs and in way better shape than him. It is physically impossible for someone with a body like him to weigh 215 and be 6’3", he’s either lying about his height, his weight, or both (it’s definitely both). I’d guess he’s probably like 5’8" and 300 lbs.

          He’s still a pretty big dude compared to the average person. You can take a look at pictures of him next to Trudeau, and he only looks a couple inches shorter than him. I’d say he’s prob around 6ft with some help from his lifted shoes, but he’s definitely pushing 300lbs.

          He wears shoes that add 3 inches to his height. It’s why he’s alway hunched forward. (They’re basically concealed platform heels.)

          Just saying…. He’s even shorter than we guess.

            I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, specializing in orthotics and prosthetics. I often have to build lifts into shoes to accommodate people with limb length discrepancies. He definitely wears lifted shoes, but the most you can really hide without making it very noticeable is about an inch, maybe an inch and a half.

            With the type of dress shoe he wears and with his age, there’s no way he’d be able to manage a 3" heel lift. If I were to guess, he’s prob got a 3/4 to a 1" lift in his shoes. Which would be more than enough to create an anterior pelvic tilt.

    Only three weeks after his “unscheduled ‘dentist’ visit”.

    In January, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that he’d tried using compression socks to help treat the issue [his cankles] but stopped because he “didn’t like them.”

    Trump has made some unusual medical choices in the past. Most notable is his use of aspirin. Trump takes 325 milligrams of aspirin every day, according to the Daily Beast. That’s four times the doctor-recommended dosage.

    When asked why, Trump said it was because aspirin was “good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart."

    Shall we place bets on when he will no longer be in office, for any cause - illness, death, expulsion, whatever.

    My prediction is gone at least by the end of March 2027, maybe Feb. I think in the case of expulsion (or forced ‘resignation’) --which requires the repubs to choose since dems don’t have enough power, that would be the date they would wait for. After the midterms and swearing in of the new congress. It can’t be earlier than that if they (Thiel, etc) want Vance to qualify for 2 more full terms after this partial one.

    If forced out by health reasons it’s a lot harder to predict. Usually with these types the sheer evil force is enough to keep the heart pumping longer than the average mortal, even if the brain withers away. But like everyone else here, I check the headlines with fingers crossed each morning.

      If Democrats win control of the House, then it will happen earlier, because once the VP becomes President, the VP position becomes vacant, and can only be filled if both houses of Congress approve. And Democrats would likely use the “McConnell doctrine” to sit on any appointment made by President Vance and not act on it.

      That would effectively give Democrats an extra half vote in the Senate, because there would be no VP to break ties. And the next Democratic House Speaker would be next in line if, somehow, President Vance also leaves office.

      So, once the returns are in (with good news for Democrats), if the plan was to shove Trump to the side it will happen before the new House takes over, while Republicans can still pick a new VP.

        Ooh, interesting angle. Though I’m not confident Dems would muster up enough spine to do that (or that some wouldn’t break away and vote with repubs), but yeah, repubs probably wouldn’t want to take that chance.

          No, they definitely would sit on the appointment if it’s someone dumb.

          They might take what they think is the “middle ground” and let a “compromise candidate” through. But I hope they remember that Merrick Garland was the “compromise candidate”, and Mitch and Lindsey still shit all over that pick.

      You seem more optimistic than I am about any form of short trump term. I’d wager the Teflon don ducks the presidency in disgrace when it’s over, Dems win a single election cycle or two, then we’re right back to the m’biden fancy mustard bullshit and have another Republican within a decade. During this time, the oligarch funded Republican spin machine will be in full drive. They will institute managed democracy at the direction of oligarchs. The yokels in the country eat it up, rinse and repeat.

      I’ve seen it over and over. Not only does shit hole US&A not have the ability to reign in the oligarchs, it holds no power to punish the political class. I’m stoked more progressive candidates are running and polling well, but this cycle is a played out story imo. We’ll end up with centrist aipac approved Dems in federal office.

      They and the repubes will continue to fuck middle poors and everyone in society generally. They’ll “just miss” key votes that enrich the epstien class at the expense of education / social security / anything they can claw back. The supreme court is set for a while - that backstop will ensure no significant leftward shift in US politics.
