Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have a firm belief that everyone, if given a few days
near the end of their lives, assesses their behavior during the time they lived.
With that in mind, I dearly hope that Donald J. Trump, during that assessment, realizes what a toxic son of a bitch he has been. I doubt he will have much regret, but I want him to know that. So, may he be completely aware a couple of days before he dies that he has been someone who will only be remembered for the broken, cruel asshole he has been.

(129,863 posts)During his last days (may they come soon) he is more likely to reflect on what he believes to be his greatness. His only regrets will have to do with failing to get his face carved on Mount Rushmore or winning a real Nobel Peace Prize, and he will die resenting those slights.

(15,221 posts)(whether you view that as a reflection of an 'illness' or no, the truth remains ...) Trump goes to his grave thinking of himself as a great man - that achieved great things.
I think we must content ourselves with certain knowledge that every other living soul, outside the singular Donald, (including his family and devoted acolytes) - will come to see/remember him as a thoroughly contemptible and flawed human being. One certain to be regarded as a madman and clownish caricature - along with historic villain, tragic blunder, and cautionary tale for the ages.

Sorry about that.
GoCubsGo
(34,790 posts)He already shares multiple traits with them. Like scurrying into hiding when the lights come on. Like being a disease vector. And, staying alive for days without a head (or in his case, a functioning brain.) Not to mention that he's ugly and creepy.

(24,276 posts)Except that he won't dance La Cucaracha. Or will he?
He already dances to the Village People, enough said.

(8,256 posts)He thinks he has been the next Jesus and will be welcomed with open arms.
Besides I dont want him to have a couple of days. My dream is that he gets on a hot mike and
Spills all the tea on Epstein, Putin and Netty and the Saudi Royalty.
Im hoping for so much blathering that he says something so heinous that even
Magas will have the veil lifted from his eyes . Exposed for the cretin he is.
Then Im hoping he craps himself on Live TV and drops dead. Lightening may or not be included.
HOws that?

(424 posts)When I was to learn in catechism classes at ten that "I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost," I crossed my fingers because I was lying (I had no idea who they were so how could I believe in them) and, if God did exist, I didn't want to be struck down by lightening for lying.

BuddhaGirl
(3,702 posts)He is completely incapable of any introspection.
That said, trump has to live with himself every day. His psyche is deeply suffering but he is completely unaware of it and so it comes out in his cruelty and craziness.

(12,312 posts)... or at least get an idea of what it will say before he dies. I don't think there's any hope of #rump being repentant or remorseful for anything he's done -- psychopaths have no conscience -- but the thought of billions of people in the future laughing at him would likely cause him to stroke out on the spot.
Hope22
(4,585 posts)Generations of people are devastated. He would be so proud if he could grasp his accomplishment. This sick monster daring to touch children with his dirty hands will go straight to hell without time for contemplation! As my grandma said . The fires of hell are hot!

Ivanka notes it's the day she gets her hair bleached;
Eric is looking forward to his gum surgery;
Don Jr. is meeting up with his supplier;
Melania is giving the pool boy his "directions" for the day; and
his attorney is sailing on his yacht and can't get to shore to update the Will.

(424 posts)or for that matter at his bedside as he lies dying? I imagine Melanoma will have a can't-miss pilates class and Ivanka a school play to attend. Those attending, if any, will be there to make certain his is truly gone. The tears will be tears of joy.

(27,369 posts)about anything he has ever done. He is a pathological narcissist, and he will blame others for any perceived failures and take all the credit for any perceived success. It's a mental illness, and he will never seek treatment.

(1,463 posts)His only regret will be that he did not steal, cheat and rape more.
He is evil personified.

Yes we will stand up and cheer another human beings demise. Because there will still be MAGAts out there wanting to deify him, and also carry on Trumpism further. We must show that we want Trumpism and MAGA and Fascism to die with the skeevy orange blob.

MadameButterfly
(3,891 posts)I want him exposed, humiliated, rejected by even his base, and imprisoned for his actual wrongdoing. i crave watching him lucid enough to realize he is powerless and shamed.
But I have to remember that someone this far gone is probably not worth wasting our desire for revenge on.
The most important thing is for his accomplices, especially the Republican Party, to be exposed and government changed so this can never happen again.
Even better, what if we as a society learn enough from this to break the gridlock and create real, significant, lasting change.

(6,101 posts)Out of my own curiosity, I have read many accounts of a near death experience. Many report that they had a review of their life and how they lived their life. Who they helped, harmed or injured in any way was made plain. The person reported feeling the pain, insult or injury they had caused in others. It was not a choice. It just happened.
In the Trump administration most, if not all, are in for a boat load of pain if this turns out to be true, Guess well have to wait and see how this works. 🤷🏻♀️

(29,003 posts)...that does know what a fraud he is, and that is why he is so petty and vengeful. Were he really as smart, admired, and accomplished as he likes to claim he is, he wouldn't be so easily wounded/enraged by even the most minor of criticisms, and so bent on retribution.
