He'll surely have to be buried somewhere with a lot of security unless his family is ok with all the piss and shit that will be covering his grave.
I doubt anyone in his family gives a shit what happens to a dead body that can do nothing for them.
Actually, that gives me an idea. Maybe they'll keep someone posted to charge people to shit/piss on his grave. That way the dead body IS doing something for them.
Maybe all the maga idiots will take it upon themselves to stand guard with all their guns. That'd be great.
Honestly, just graverob that motherfucker and desecrate the corpse as thoroughly as possible. He richly deserves it.
Waiting for Rolling Stone's Kissingeresque headline
How has he not died yet? He gets barely any exercise and lives on McDonald's and KFC.
Because good things happen to bad people and there is no real justice in the world.

He was president. He has better access to healthcare than 90% of us. I hate to say it but we're probably stuck with him for at least another decade.
The good news is though that maybe he'll actually get to rot in a cell for a while before he goes instead of skipping prison time by checking out.

I guarantee he is telling congressional Republicans to shut down the government so the economy takes a hit.
He doesn't have to tell them they already try to do it every chance they get when a Democrat is the president. They sabotage the government unless they are fully in charge.
“We have an economy that is incredible,” he went on to say, reflective of last year’s strong labor market gains. “We have an economy that is so fragile. And the only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did—what the Trump administration did. It’s just running off the fumes.”
“And when there’s a crash, I hope it’s going to be during these next twelve months, because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover,” he continued, referring to the president when the Great Depression hit in 1929. “The one president—I just don’t want to be Herbert Hoover.”
I think the reason he provides seems stranger than merely wishing for the economy to crash because it might improve his chances of being re-elected.
Because his ilk are too fucking incompetent to understand how the economy works. He inherited a great economy from Obama, but all his little Trumpettes say it was his doing. And when the fallout of his tax bill started hitting (combined with pandemic issues) suddenly it was all Biden's fault.
FOX ran stats during Trump's first weeks in office. They showed that things were great when Bush Jr. and Donnie were just starting out and that things were terrible when Obama and Clinton were just beginning.

Thank goodness Biden is the only person who would be hurt. No biggie.
"I want to hurt everyone so then they'll vote for me."
🤔
Worst part is, his followers are completely onboard.
Die already you rancid fat fuck.
I like the phrase "Lou Dobbs on Lindell TV" I wish people this far out of the mainstream on the left had as much influence as these gas pump tv level right-wing guys do.
I long for the day "Trump says" is no longer newsworthy.
I long for the day when someone mentions Trump and I respond: "Oh yeah. That guy. Last I heard he was sent to prison. That was years ago. Anyway, changes subject away from Trump..."

i hate donald trump, but i think i hate clickbait headlines which distort what was being said even more. it's a problem that i don't see an end to.
It's still 80% accurate. He's still saying he hopes for a collapse for the sake of his legacy to somehow prove himself a hero and preserve a legacy.
he's saying that there will be a collapse and that it won't be his fault and that he hopes it happens before he becomes president because it would make him look bad. I think he's obviously full of shit, but the headlines should at least not misrepresent what he's saying. it's bad journalism and it's harmful. it's fuel for Trump supporters who want to think that the other side are idiots and that the news is corrupt.
Well said, Mr. Nutsack.
thank you steven
80% is pretty generous considering nowhere in the quote does he wants a crash, he's just predicting one and hopes the timing is good for his legacy.
And considering the title is claiming he is saying he "wants" it to crash, it's categorically false.
Trump is trash, but we shouldn't be defending trash headlines like this.

Thank you. I came here to say the same thing. He isn't saying "I want the economy to crash" he's saying "the economy is going to crash and I hope it happens before I become President again because it would be nice if Biden looked bad instead of me".
He's an asshole and a grifter. If truly believes that an economic crash is inevitable, though, I can fully understand why he would hope that it will crash during the current term rather than the next term.
I mean yes, that's the position of all Republicans
And it has been for decades.
He's very good at saying the quiet part out loud.
That's the sign of a real leader who cares about his country before himself

Headline is actually, "wants Americans to fail, starve and die so they are more desperate/vulnerable, to his benefit"
