15. Unless it really does bring about the "end of his presidency"
Wed Feb 25, 2026, 02:06 PM
Yesterday

...through resignation, natural death or Trump committing seppuku in the bare patch of land where the East Wing of the White House once stood, Trump losing his congressional majority will not bring the Trump Reign of Terror to an end.

He will simply rule by edict - executive orders, mostly - and the Republican minority will refuse to stop him.
