This is so important. It happening during a speech or press event would be the best we could hope for, there will be denials and conspiracy no matter what but its harder to fuck with actual reality when someone watched happen. Note that i didnt say impossible, just harder
It would be so funny if he was doing one of his bullshit press conferences where he gets pathetic sycophants to bow and scrape before the king, when they gradually realize that he’s been sitting there dead for about ten minutes while they pretended like nothing was wrong for fear of making him look weak.
I’d say they probably have him hooked up to some type of monitor but I don’t think they do. He would throw the biggest hissy fit since he would see it as a slight against him.
What would it change now? Most major news sources in the U.S. would still be supporting this MAGA movement because it supports not taxing the rich. The people claiming the leader is losing their mental acquity no longer have to worry about such because you replace him with a younger white man who believes women need to know their place, trans people should all be killed, and every non-white person is a criminal. Trump didnt even believe all those things, but it seems the overton window could somehow potentially move further right with Trump’s death.
If Trump dies tomorrow MAGA supporters aren’t going to suddenly realize the deportation efforts and mistreatment of colored people in the U.S. was all because of underlying racism and being lied to. We would just have 2.5 years of JD Vance being President and someone like Stephen Miller puppeting/assigning Vance a VP who they think they could set up to be the next president in 2028 since they don’t believe they could sell Vance as being a proper dictator.
Guess I don’t have much of a glass half full look on this…
It would change a LOT. MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, revolving around Trump and NOBODY else. There isn’t even a clear #2, with several people who are going to feel entitled to automatically take over, and many who feel they should be the successor.
Meanwhile, the people love Trump, and NOBODY else. They will NOT transfer their loyalty to anyone else. They may try to play along for a while, but their hearts won’t be in it, and without Rush Limbaugh around to flog them into action, they’ll fall by the wayside over the next couple of elections.
When he dies, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin. When that happens, Dems should just stay out of the way, and enjoy the show. Maybe an occasional “You going let him say that about you?”
On the other side of the half-adjective glass, consider that Trump’s biglyest advantage has been the cult of personality propping him up. Vance doesn’t have the experience or charisma to be able to sell himself to morons as their one true messiah and savior. The moderates will fall in line, but the brainwashed indoctrinees who wanted Trump and only Trump won’t just settle for a consolation prize.
Well unless we get something like 75 percent of the country resoundly supporting killing Citizens United and stating companies can’t lobby at all unless they accept extra taxation on their income before reducing to profits, it’ll still end up being a lot of corruption that’s nearly unsolvable
It would be so awesome if he suddenly just dropped dead
On live TV please

Lol, that would be really funny
“Death of Stalin” vibes, where Stalin lay dying on the floor in his room for hours because nobody wanted to risk disturbing him.
