2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

No matter how he dies, it will be turned into a conspiracy theory and his base will martyrize his stupid orange ass.

Maybe if it causes them to mobilize, that's an issue. More likely, though, they'll just write in his name for every election they vote in till they die.

Exactly. Where and what are they going to do this time?

[–] GardenVarietyAnxiety 6 points 10 months ago

Let's hope so. I'm worried about a new fresh face coming in swearing to avenge him.

[–] GladiusB 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not if it's from natural causes. And you better believe when it happens they have a plan to make sure most know it was a natural thing.

[–] Gumbyyy 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You really believe that whenever he dies, if it's from natural causes, that the maniacs in his base will believe that? I guarantee there will be conspiracy theories about it the instant the news breaks.

[–] GladiusB 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. But they know that people die of old age. It's not that hard to prove.

Oh sure because trumpers are known for respecting evidence.
