Not the best source, but I can't post the image alone.

Here's the image to save you a click on Newsweek.

I thought about this. Trumpet dgaf about rules. If he did, we wouldn't be facing the threat of the end of democracy as we know it. On one hand, sure, changing out this shitheel for another shitheel could open him up to attacks from his own side about being "weak like Biden" or flip-flopping or whatever. But nothing will penetrate his cult's fog, a replacement with less obvious baggage could help, and again, he dgaf about the rules.

His ONLY concern is shutting down all the cases against him, and staying out of prison.

not weak like Biden. first of all he's not running against Biden, second of all why would democrats attack Biden to call him weak‽ no, just deal weak, period. so many of his former staff speaks against him. so many are in prisons and he denounces them. he tried to have his former VP pick hanged. now he picks a new VP nominee and changes his mind in less than a month? he can't make any good decisions. his staff agrees, his VP picks agree, and he agrees.

looking weak is poison to fascists.

I don't disagree, but yet he has done all of those things and still roughly 50% of the electorate looks at him and says: "yeah, this is still the guy to run the country."
