I really hate to say this, but Trump will go down in history

I hate to say it because that’s what he wants. We can only hope his name is forever attached to a terrible time in American politics, like Joseph McCarthy. Unfortunately if we can’t get things turned around many other things could end up attached to him in history books, like the beginning of WWIII.

I’d prefer he’d just disappear and I’d never have to see his name. The best revenge would be for him to live a long time with no one ever caring to talk to him or about him again. But I think if nothing else he’ll need to be remembered and used as a lesson of what can go wrong. I’m afraid it’s quite possible history could remember him in other ways. How do you suppose history books would talk about Hitler is he’d won the war and ended up dominating at least half the world? Or his name will be associated with his cult and live on for many years. Him dominating the media led to his presidency and then we’ve been subjected to seeing him and hearing him every day since. Exactly what strokes his twisted ego.

We need some sort of Harry Potter response once the ass is voted out. Refer to him as “He who is not named” or something. As usual, I’ll end with provided we survive. I just hope we don’t have to look back as this as the beginning of the end.

ignores him after he loses in 2020. No one should give him a platform to spew his hate. Fox News probably will, of course, but the rest of MSM needs to treat him as a pariah.

the republican party is his until their next transformative demogogue arrives. remember the renaming of everthing in the Reagan aftermath? trump will be worse.

we allowed them to write history books wherein jfk is a foot note and jimmy carter is the bad guy. that can not be allowed to happen with this azzwhole.

5. I hope he dies today (natural causes) - and every other day that he has not yet expired...

I wish every morning to rise and see the "BREAKING NEWS" crawl read: "President found dead from massive heart attack in White House bathroom."

Hasn't happened yet...but tomorrow's another day.

That is the only way we can move on as a country. Its sad commentary, but the truth. I fear what some of his cult followers will do under either of the other two circumstances. I also fear Putin's end game here. If its "chaos".... well ..... I wont go there but anyone with a brain can think of an obvious conclusion.

natural causes so that there is nobody to blame and no suspicion (even though there will be). Even then, his insane "base" will come up with non-stop conspiracy theories to explain away his demise.

8. He has probably already planned his funeral parade with the lone black horse

like JFK funeral procession all through WDC with a giant statued grave monument in the middle Central Park, and a flyover of both newly repainted AF-1 747's.

He will never STFU. He's like Glenn Close in the Fatal Attraction movie. "I will not be ignored".
