Nah, he still wants guns for the Reich people and he read something in Article 2 Section 2 that lets the Prez do whatever he wants. ---

When Trump dies, they’re going mummify him and send him around the country on a Weekend At Bernie’s grifting tour. ---

Oh Lordy. I can see it now. “Ladies and gentlemen, you too can pay your respects to Donald J. Trump! Just like Vladimir Lenin, Mao Tse-tung, and Kim Il-Sung, we’ve taken great care to preserve his body, right down to his favorite red tie. And when he comes through your town, you can pay your respects by walking by his casket for the low, low, price of $9.95. But wait, there’s more! For just $19.95, you can get a flower to lay on his casket all by yourself! Plus, if you call within the next ten minutes, you’ll not only get a place at the head of the line and a flower if you want it, but also the opportunity to stop by the casket and pray. Yes, no security guards prompting you to move along, if you buy the deluxe package which includes your respects, a flower, and a pause to privately pray next to the casket, for only $49.99. This offer won’t be repeated, so call now. Operators are standing by!” I’m joking, of course, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if something like the above scenario occurs. ---

The only thing not plausible about your scenario is the prices. We’re talking here about grifters who are charging $179 for a cheaply printed Bible with a matching T-shirt and a hat, $99 for an NFT (stands for “Not a Fucking Thing”), and $75 for a piece of shit picture-book ($230 if signed with a Sharpie). You need to multiply your suggested prices by a factor of 5 or 10, and you know the rubes will pay it. ---
