29. He's had no intention of a peaceful transfer of power EVER
Fri Sep 26, 2025, 01:07 PM
Friday

He tried it in 2020 and thanks to Mike Pence (and it pains my ass enormously to say that), he didn't get his way.

When he got back in, many of us - MOST of us with any sanity left - have been saying that he has no intention of leaving at the end of this term. He wouldn't have done all he's done if he had any expectation of leaving. The ballroom? The Rose Garden? All of the tacky-ass gold? Plus, all that is mentioned in the OP.

He is old, yes, and eventually he will die. But his supporters and the Gestapo that he's formed around himself will do everything they can to keep his ass alive for as long as they can. He will have medical treatments that you or I could only dream of having access to. So I wouldn't count on "longevity".

I'm SO sick of seeing the videos of ICE treating people so horribly. I'm sick of people not knowing where their relatives have been taken, whether they are safe, much less still alive.

I'm tired of him going after people just because he has the power to do it.

I'm sick of the sonofabitch period. And I'm sick of the idiots who keep supporting him or ever voted for him in the first place.
