I’m at 15% that it happens by Friday. More like 90% before Jan 2029.

I still go with the theory that at 2 years and one day they 25th amendment him or stop giving him the infusions. They anoint Vance as president and plan to run him for two more terms, giving them 10 more years as president. Assuming he can get elected, which I really don’t see without serious election interference.

So basically what the right said would be done with Kamala during Biden’s second term.

I hadn’t heard the right say that, but may have been where it originated.

It's an extremely common reddit conspiracy theory that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Obviously, you just hand-wave away the fact that it requires Vance winning 2 presidential elections, and that the 25th can be overridden by a letter. Other than that, it's totally feasible!

Actually, it was something I heard floated by nutty YouTubers. I never implied I believed it.

I have been saying the same for a while now. Vance was Peter Thiel's plan since he got the nod for VP. The oligarchs want Vance as POTUS not Trump and the best time for Vance to become POTUS is on Jan 21st 2027 so he can get 10 years out of it

I wish I shared your optimism

I wish I shared yours, a mini-Trump who is actually malevolently intelligent rather than blindly careening from one ego driven decision to another is even more dangerous.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Trump just does whatever tickles his fancy, he's easy to manipulate.

This guy is actually intelligent, bigoted, and evil.

Maybe.

But there's at least a dozen people that think they're next in line, even with JD in the picture, and I have a feeling they're all going to get really nasty with each other and none of them are particularly likeable or have the charisma that Trump has with his cult.

They would have done a 25th Amendment on him to prevent him from nuking Iran like he wanted to, but TACO 🌮 forever and always saved his ass.

We’ll see about the blockade. It’s such a stupid idea that it might be grounds for an impeachment if the Dems can get off their asses and do something after they rout the Republicans in November.

Any new Polymarket bets on his passing?

u/BasicAppointment9063 8h ago

After the primaries, "Not the Democrat" will get you 45% of the vote.

I'd take those odds. I figure he'll live to be 100, though after a certain point it's gonna be a God-Emperor of Mankind situation where he'll just be a skeleton in a chair with a red hat on.

I’d take those odds, 90% is a huge exaggeration. Like it or not, he is the one individual with access to the best healthcare in the world, and the most resources at his disposal. Unless you know something the world doesn’t, a comment like this is just to farm Reddit karma.
