Say tRump resigns or is Impeached.....

Will new President Vance go the route of Gerald Ford and pardon tRump? It is more likely this will be the route...and we will not have closure.

I see things coming to a head....The Minister of Chaos and Crimes will soon be out of office...Our problems will remain....I see some how that tRump is being phased out for 2026....

Otherwise:

1. Lose MAGA votes
2. Have Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Steve Bannon, etc. go after him.
3. Lose 2028 election more likely.

He won't resign, he'll just make more noise.

The cheeseburgers will probably prevail over Trump - stroke or death.

Vance takes over and we'll find out if Project 2025 and the oligarchs have done enough to thwart a free election.

it’s obvious his mental acuity is greatly diminished…we know he has undergone repeated cognitive assessments because he brags he knows a giraffe from a lion..

I suspect his handlers know his brain is dementia-mush and they don’t care .. he may “wear the crown” but they run the country so they humor him…they play to his overblown ego and his racist hate..

This is Weekend at Bernie’s but with a narcoleptic delusional psychotic revenge zombie.. he ain’t going nowhere …dead or alive..
