      It was, because someone might cause his death, but even if he stays, he’s getting pretty old. I doubt he’ll still be able to hold power in a decade. Everyone leaves office eventually.

        You sound like the average American liberal. The fascist movement will not end with Trump. If you don’t understand that already, I dunno what it will take to get your head outta your ass.

        Trump is not making decisions. He is not deciding or directing anything the admin, or wider GOP, is doing. He is a pawn. He is not writing or reading any legislation. Lobbyists are. He doesn’t read anything, and can’t even read beyond a grade school level. He is a dementia patient who is a malignant narcissist. This is a corporate led fascist coup. Trump is just the symbolic figurehead / cult leader, and when he dies he will be replaced by another. It doesn’t matter how effective the next guy is, the dictatorship is almost complete.
