Would love to see Obama dunking all over him IRL
Obama going full Vince Carter and just absolutely crushing Trump at the rim is exactly what it would take to save America. MAGAverse would pivot to DeSantis or Ramaswamy who would vow to protect the paint at all costs, and then the two factions would accuse the other of pedophilia and being in league with the deep state. The GOP would effectively collapse. The US will finally have real healthcare and teacher, nurses, service workers, and more would get massive pay bumps. Cities would take ownership of the sports teams that call them home after the billionaire owners bitch about not being able to afford them anymore, even though the top tax bracket still wouldn’t be paying a higher rate than the lowest it ever was from 1945 through 1986. NIMBYs would get BTFO and the cities would have more affordable housing. Homelessness would recede. Poverty would decline. Businesses “too big to fail” would be broken apart because gosh, shouldn’t the threat of failure provide more motivation to innovate and evolve? Hollywood would stop making Minions movies.
