    Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he steps down at any point before the next election with the promise of being fully pardoned by Vance.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets Epsteined. He knows a lot of things, or at least has access to a lot of information, and he has a bad habit of running his mouth. All it’d take is one unhinged tweet where he throws everyone else under the bus to put a lot of political careers into question.

        It didn’t happen during the 4 years that he was out of office, I doubt it’s going to happen now.

          If he got a Vance pardon, that’s exactly when I’d expect him to do it. He’s just narcissistic enough to be like “Ha! I won and you losers lost. Here’s all the names of the people who were fucking kids right alongside me, but I got pardoned and I’m untouchable. Good luck, losers.”

      Zero chance.

      There is no world in which trump trusts someone to protect him AFTER he gives up his power. Because he backstabs everyone the second they aren’t useful to him.

        Generally, I completely agree, but if his back is to the wall and this is the only way out, I could see it happening. He had to know that as soon as he’s out of office, he’s going to be absolutely fucked.

          I mean, we watched that happen.

          He led a violent insurrection against the US government with the goal of lynching congress and his own VP.

            Yeah, but he knew Pence didn’t have his back then. This time he made sure to pick someone that would swear fealty.

        That might matter if we had any intention of prosecuting him for those crimes. It should be pretty obvious by now that we don’t do that around here.

      Hahahaha only death will remove him. He won’t step down and Vance can’t take over Maga. Without Trump this all falls apart. So unless they have gotten everything in place that they are 100% sure they never have to worry about voting again. Trump not going anywhere. And if he dies before they are ready they have an AI version in the ready to go.
