Everyone knows these guys are just going to lie their way into the presidency right? As in just get fox news to declare early, then stand over election officials to call it their way.
It really is a concerning situation that is going to turn November+ into a nightmare. Hopefully, we see an article about tRump being found dead as a headline if the SCOTUS slobs up the asinine defense of total immunity. That's the only way I think this can resolve without a constitutional disaster. He's basically daring someone to do something and I, for one, hope the "find out" part comes for him.
Surely the best way to resolve without a constitutional disaster is simply for him to convincingly lose the election come November ?
If he died now he would be a martyr obviously.
He lost one election already, then he threw a hissy fit and tried to stage a coup. The second time it will be even worse.
... but the second time around he won't have control of the military et cetera. If he loses convincingly there's no point in staging a coup.
He's got around 30% of the population sucking at his orange teats.
There's a big difference between sucking his orange teats and sacrificing oneself for him.
Hundreds of historians have said that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is the worst president in history. There is no scenario where that changes.
That's not how martyrdom works.
It doesn't matter how bad he is. If he dies then his spectre will remain eternal.
He needs to lose the election. A public acknowledgement that the people have rejected him.
