    Going to be hard when he faces dozens of lawsuits, including things like tax fraud

    Yep, whatever money he got from stealing from tax payers, he will lose to lawsuits and defending himself in court before he goes to jail, and he will have to declare bankruptcy, that is if he doesn't flee to Russia.

    I wonder, if he ends up fleeing to Russia, wouldn't he become a national security risk? Would the US government have to figure out a way to "neutralize" that risk?

    IIRC don’t all presidents get a security detail after they leave office?
    So he would have a hard time feeling.

    You think a security detail would prevent him from "vacationing" in Moscow?

    They are offered a detail, but they don't have to have one, iirc.

    He is going to be super drugged up and if the last videos are any indication burned orange. He may very well have a heart attack on stage from all the stimulants. This move of campaigning with Covid-19 is incredibly stupid and risky even by Trump standard.

    It’s possible with the drugs he’s on he is believing his own lies about himself and his health.

    Which like you said could lead to a heart attack/health crisis.

    That's my hope too - COVID really has demonstrated how odd it is that we're fine letting diseases like influenza run rampant and how that's now coming to bite us in the ass.

    Ideally we'd come out of this crisis with far better sick leave protections and a cultural habit of wearing masks when you're sick.

    I'm just gonna say it.

    Twitter's handling of Trump's twitter account is exactly like you'd see if it were a 2000s internet forum where the mods are trying to reconcile having rules with overlooking one of the admin's friends who's acting a clown.

    It was still fairly recently this forum was having a similar dilemma, with all the thwartings that went on for a long time.

    I was going to say that exact same thing. You could also say it was karma that kept allowing those thwartings to happen too.

    Wait...vote to oblivion. They're bad for our country. That sounds more like veiled threats of violence than anything else.

    Don't be silly.
    He is above God !
    He is like "Elder god", "High God", "God of Gods".
    He created Gods.

    I want to tell people again, don;t link Trump tweets. Take a screen shot or something or copy and paste the text.

    Every time he gets hit on his twitter he's happy. Don't make Trump happy.
