He will never never never get such bi- partisan support or tributes from crowds of Americans.

I hope this all hits him really hard. No president who served before him will speak at his passing. No candidate who ran against him will call him a good man.
Never

IMHO, he is terminally and pathologically delusional.

Early in his presidency, I recall an episode where Trump said to Bannon (I think), "They really fucking hate me!" referring to his political opponents.

I believe this is why he only speaks to his base. He knows he'll never convince many of us to support him.

By the way, I really fucking hate Trump.

Trump exhaled carbon dioxide which is beneficial to plants. His death is the first on record as having been caused by holding one's breath.

There is not a single location on this planet where that grave won't be repeatedly defiled, defaced, and/or destroyed.

Even if they buried him at sea over the Marianas Trench, I would personally rent James Cameron's submersible to descend the dark depths and dump a large drum of my stored-up bodily waste upon his bloated orange carcass. I know that's expensive, but I could start a Gofundme for this project and it would be fully funded in minutes. The National Geographic Channel could even run it live, and it would generate ratings the likes of which this world has never seen.

some kind of grand game that has honorable rules that, when broken, merely highlight the manliness of a man, rather than have real-world effects on people.
