    Well, I wish him the worst, and hope for the slowest, most agonizing recovery for him.

      What a vile sentiment. This is a human person that is a felon and a rapist and actively brings harm to marginalized people, and you wish him a recovery?!

        My post was clearly a reference to wishing people well and a speedy recovery, but now that I saw the other response to my post I do want Trump to survive for the rest of the year, giving Vance less potential time at the helm

          Vance was specifically selected because he poses no threat to the leader of the personality cult.

          Trump has been able to quash dissent well enough to keep MAGA in his orbit. Vance doesn’t have the chops to hold it together.

          If America has a civil war, I want Trump to be in command of the Neo Confederates. That would save many ReUnion lives, since the enemy would be utterly incompetent and would encourage backstabbing among his minions.

          Keep everyone confused. I guess by now they are scrambling and can’t properly recall how to “sandbag”. So, ummm, never thought I’d say it but fuck, Viva La Trump. (Oh that turns my tummy inside out) Strange times do call for ridiculous measures. C’est la Vie.

        A painful agonizing one that will lead to a false hope of recovery. Commenter was playing the “long game” when it came to well wishes.

      Well, if he recovers and makes it over the 2 years before JD Vance replaces him, then the 2 years won’t count towards limiting Vance’s two terms. However, if he kicks it like a year into it and Vance serves 3 years, then he couldn’t run for a third go since the 3 years would count as 1 full term.

        Honestly, if Vance assumes control and your democrats aren’t screaming all day and all night about this unelected and illegitimate president for as long as it takes to get an election, then they really haven’t learned anything about the way the game has been played for the last couple decades.

          I agree with your sentiment, but just to be clear in US presidential succession the vice president (Vance) is next in line. So while I think he’s a piece of shit and wholly incompetent, he is actually legitimately president if Mango Mussolini croaks.

            Oh I am well aware, but recall that according to the rules, Obama should have had his supreme court pick. Doesn’t matter if the rules say he would be president if everyone including Vance himself feels he is illegitimate because that’s all they ever hear. Might even provoke him into an election after a year of badgering him at ever possible opportunity. Hearts and Minds is a game, and right now only one side is playing.

        Is it fleshed out like that?

        I do not think it will matter, Vance will not keep the supreme leader spot, he will be rejected for somebody with more Charisma in 2028.
