    Please be dead. I think he’s done enough damage to his own cause that if he dies, the cult of personality will be broken. Vance won’t be able to keep it up. If Trump gets killed, he becomes a martyr and they rally around his causes, but dying of natural causes is more hopeful.

      If he died of natural causes, what makes you think that’s how the White House would report it. They’d say he was killed and use it to create a false divisive narrative, blaming some left wing conspiracy or assassin who doesn’t exist. They’d use it to galvanise maga behind Vance blah blah blah…

      Honestly if he really is ill, I very much wouldn’t put it past them to off him themselves and blame the “radical left” in order to kick off the civil war they keep trying for.

      If he’s dead they’ll Weekend-At-Bernie’s his corpse and get someone to shoot it, blaming “The Left™”
