    Someone who plans on leaving in 3½ years doesn’t pave over the rose garden, add a $200m ballroom, or deploy the national guard at the Capitol.
    We’re in this until his shitty diet, substance abuse, lack of exercise, and age catch up with him.
    Then, we’ll get to live though the struggle to occupy the power vacuum left in his wake.

      Also accepted a free plane that’s going to cost nearly a billion dollars to remake as Air Force one so he can use it for less than a year before his term is supposed to end. Not that he cares, but I totally agree that he, and his party, are expecting him to stay for longer. We’re like six months away from a big Trump sign on the White House lawn.

          Yup, he’s bringing it with him…I agree with your use of quotes too. But I’m guessing there’s a lot of stuff that’s going to be put on that plane that he needs to do his job as president (haha) that he shouldn’t have access to as a former president. So they’re adding all that stuff for him to use it for a year and then they remove it afterwards? I think it’s another indicator that he’s planning on exceeding his term limits.

          True but do you think people will follow JD Vance like they do Trump? Idk who they could get to replace him but I guess it wouldn’t matter as much since republicans are so conditioned to tow the party line no matter what

      And there is absolutely nothing the people can do?

      My prediction is they’ll train an LLM on all his speeches and put before the supreme court that it can be president because it executes his will.
