How many of you come to DU every day with a secret hope in your heart...

...that you'll see a new post, that there will be some amazing breaking news, something that one way or another spells a clear and definitive end to the Trump era?

...something that totally destroys Trump's reputation, even in the eyes of many of his current supporters, would be better for the country than Trump's death.

Plus, I want to see multiple sources with the same story before I begin thinking that it might actually be real.

He really needs to be made to pay for all his crimes while alive. Crimes both while president and before.

Death would also short circuit investigations that we need to fix the system that he broke.

Plus I would love to see him suffer the way he has made millions of Americans suffer because of him.

I'm not saying I expect such a thing, just that I can't help but hope that something like that could happen.

It's just a matter of time before he sees a map and see how much land there is and his crew people.

Is the reason that I wake up and check the news first thing.

All of those quarter-pounders must have had a toll on him somehow.

My hope is that something so bad happens to tRump that he will be gone in disgrace or gone because of an incapacitating mental or physical impairment. I wish only the very worst for him. I never give up hope.

“It’s over, stick a fork in him, beginning of the end,,” and on and on and on.

But it’s never the end, and it’s not over.

every morning when I open my eyes, to check DU for news that he’s died. If Mr West is already awake, I’ll just mumble, “is he dead yet?”
