> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > the question of whether he has the ability to _ignore_ the occurrence of one. Perhaps in the sense that by 2029 it’s quite likely his dementia will have progressed to the point that he thinks he’s still president and his enablers set up a phony Oval Office so he can sign stacks of blank paper and pretend to make important calls all day like his dad did when his dementia became advanced. But I simply don’t see any scenario in which Trump is still president after 1/20/2029 and there isn’t a civil war happening, because in order for it to happen there would have to be a complete abandonment of constitutional order. ---

The true plans for the replacement of the WH East Wing are revealed. Ballroom = Trump’s private McDs. He’s tired of cold fries. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > He called her that because he was trying his big man best to belittle her. But call it whatever you can live with. I dunno - maybe if every time he tries to insult a reporter every reporter in the room could point at Trump and laugh at him and yell “weak! weak! weak!”? Because that’s the one thing that he can’t seem to stand - mockery. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > Ballroom = Trump’s private McDs. He’s tired of cold fries. Bingo. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. My one bit of happiness in all this has been the point that, after his McD’s photostunt during the election, he now knows how good McD’s fries are straight out of the fryer, as compared to the limp soggy mess they become in just a few minutes, and so every meal, it’s rubbed in his face that he’s eating the inferior fries. But it would be relatively trivial for him to fix that - just buy\* a franchise, and build it in the White House. \*Buy = extort from McD’s, of course. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > But it would be relatively trivial for him to fix that - just buy …a fryer. I’m sure the WH cook staff can handle running one. Hell, he can even get real MickyD fries and oil. It’s too logical, which is why it’ll never happen. ---

I’m sure that the WH kitchen could even obtain the “proper” cardboard carriers and other accoutrements needed to replicate McDonald’s in the WH kitchen. ---
