While I would certainly read his obituary with great pleasure, my favored outcome would be to see him live many years more… in total disgrace, see his political movement widely despised, his name used as a synonym for “terrible president”, a black, female president in the White House winning the Nobel Prize… _drifts off, lost in daydreams_ ---

I’m with you @Frodo . There should also be much snickering and laughter when every his name is mentioned. And or Boo’s. ---

Give it to everyone on Earth who’s not donald trump. IOW, in our estimation you, djt, are the planet’s worst living human. A total disgrace to your species in any and every way. If Hitler or Stalin or Genghis Khan were alive we’d award them the Peace Prize too. You are that awful. ---

I read a history of events leading up to WWI, which describes German jealousy of French art, literature and cuisine. It mentions Kaiser Wilhelm II wanting to be invited on an official visit to France, which wasn’t forthcoming, due largely to ill-feeling bout the war of 1870. Alas, William died without ever seeing Paris and riding on horseback under the Arc de Triomphe. Likewise, it will rankle Donald till the end of his days that he never was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.\* \*if he’d agree to resign the Presidency in return for getting the prize, it’d be worthwhile. But it’s hard to see that happening. ---

If Trump resigned, that _would_ make the world much more peaceful, and I honestly wouldn’t object. I’d still like to see him face justice for his crimes (including those he was already convicted of), but he can do so as a Nobel Prize winner, I would be totally fine with that. ---

Try to say one honest, not at all backhanded, good thing about Trump. I don’t think it can be done. ---

Yeah. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve defended him and still have fingers left over, and it’s always merely that his actions weren’t _as_ bad as what the average non-republican thought of them, but they were still pretty bad. ---

If he resigned the presidency for a Peace Prize, he’d simply have Vance resign as soon as he got it followed in short order being named Speaker and ascending back into the White House. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Try to say one honest, not at all backhanded, good thing about Trump. I don’t think it can be done. Donald Trump won the 2024 US Presidential election, winning 312 Electoral College and 31 States including all seven swing states and over 77 million votes to win the popular vote. Now whether or not you (or myself) think this is a good thing is a matter for your goodself and likely a very solid majority of these boards. But a very comfortable plurality of Americans thought so then. And, despite some very robust attempts to dissuade them, may well still think so. ---

Poetic justice would involve a stroke that disables his dominant side and his ability to speak, while still preserving his ability to understand everything that is said to him. For a nice long time. ---

Personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing him locked into a room with wall to wall 24/7 coverage of people giving their opinion of him, interspersed with clips of all his gaudy shit being torn down and/or redecorated and renamed. And that’s how he would serve out the remainder of his years. ---
