Trump 's term as if he has any plans whatsoever of leaving.

(1,689 posts)His term ends and I am contributing by making sure the people in my circle are ready and able to vote. Life is too short to worry about conspiracy.

(2,382 posts)I have my doubts. He seems quite unhealthy of both mind and body.

(2,382 posts)I don't necessarily believe he'll leave before his term is up due to health.
There are so many other factors at play now, and some may eventually lead to his resignation or to the 25th Amendment removal process.
Also, for him to stay beyond the limits of the second term would require a lot of fight. He doesn't have that in him anymore.

(53,539 posts)I believe that even he knows his days are numbered not just in the White House, but on the planet. I don't think that even the best healthcare that money can buy will be able to do much for him at this point - they are doctors, not magicians.

(323 posts)Even if he doesn't use the bunker, fascists have a reason for it to exist. It might be a stupid or atavistic reason, but my expectation is that they try to have someone ensconced in that structure around the time of the next POTUS election, especially if they keep encouraging violence in the lead-up.

(464 posts)He just gave himself 1.7 billion dollars and no one stopped him. Do you really think that that money will be given to J6ers? That is just a smoke screen. That is his money now. Pretty soon, he is going to start purging voters from the states that he can for the November election. Whose going to stop him? And then he will declare some kind of emergency to stop voting in November, no one stopped the governor of Louisiana declare an emergency and stopped the vote. Trump will probably die before his term ends but after November the fascists will be in total control and it won't matter, someone will take his place. Look to see a lot of potential players looking to take trumps place start making headlines before November. Even Hegseth is in the mix now.
