And dishonest cheating bastard is (one of the ways) that he is known today. ---

I’m hoping to see “Former President and Convicted Felon”. ---

The next president should be considered the 45th. All books should refer to the time between Obama’s leaving the White House and the 45th president entering it simply as ‘INTERREGNUM’. ---

All books should refer to the time between Obama’s leaving the White House and the 45th president entering it simply as ‘INTERREGNUM’. Damn straight. America’s Cromwell. Instead of hanging his portrait in the White House, I think a tiny orange mushroom shaped sculpture. Seriously, I am against capital punishment. Especially in his case, because we don’t want his moronic base to rally around a martyr. Put him in a prison withing smelling distance of a McDonald’s and feed him tofu burgers. ---

I think no portrait at all would be appropriate. There was no president between Obama and whoever the 45th might turn out to be, after all. ---

I’m torn here. On the one hand, good old [_damnatio memoriae_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae)\*. On the other hand, if Trump performs any service to the Republic at all, it will surely be to serve as [a warning to others](https://despair.com/products/mistakes?variant=2457302467). \*If we somehow ever do build the fucking wall for some fucking reason, all the history books should totally refer to it as “Obama’s Wall”. And those history books should be the only reading material in Trump’s Super-Max cell. ---

All books should refer to the time between Obama’s leaving the White House and the 45th president entering it simply as ‘INTERREGNUM’. Yes. As with John Hurt’s character on _Doctor Who_–“the War Doctor”–Donald will not be assigned a number. He will be “t_he Implosion Incumbent_” or “_the Ruinous Resident_” or perhaps “_the everlasting and binding cure for any American tendency toward pride, arrogance, or self-satisfied smugness on the world stage._” ---

> [@MacCat](#): > > Just no orange jumpsuit, he’ll look naked. No, Trump is actually a more subdued shade of orange than the phosphorescent orange of prison jumpsuits. He would probably look quite fetching in one, actually, the suit nicely color coordinated with his carrot-colored grinning mug as he proclaims how they gave him “the best cell in the whole place, absolutely the best – the best cell. They said ‘he deserves the best. Trump deserves the best’. I’m not saying it, that’s what _ **they** _ said. And everyone agrees. Everyone agrees.” He is heard mumbling “Nothing but the best. Everyone is saying it” as he is led away back to his cell. ---
