KHive dems have got him spooked and he's scared of being labelled a "weird fat loser" so he takes his ball and goes home michael-laugh

we all talk about "funniest outcome" constantly, but none of you managed to lathe "big wet boy scared of xanned-out copmala due to her posting power" into existence, did you?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

We've been running a toy lathe this whole time

yeah honestly the 'he needs to be president to avoid prosecution/bankruptcy' just rings hollow at this point

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I actually think that a lot of the charges would just be quietly dropped if he quit the race and agreed never to run for office again.

"By the way, nice trucks. You think I could hop into one of them and drive it away? I'd love to do it. Just drive the hell outta here. Just get the hell out of this. I had such a good life. My life was great."

Donald Trump solidarity Tracy Chapman

Obviously despite being really funny he's a grotesque piece of shit, but there is some genuine pathos there lmao

He's the dog that caught the car and then got locked in the car for the rest of his life driving around to rallies in Jughoot County Oklahoma and Budweiser Falls Missouri having to pander to hogs about how big their trucks are and how beautiful their boats are. If he lived like 2800 years ago in Greece, Homer would have written a tragedy about him

I remember he once said his favorite song was "Is That All There Is?" by Peggy Lee, and it feels really fitting

It looks like a big old sigh of relief followed by unlimited brunch in the first world

trump-drenched : "It's not the same without Joe there."

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

It's always the funniest outcome somehow. At the beginning of the year, them both dying seemed infinitely more likely to me than both dropping out. Trump probably would love to if not for the brand and ego. Would need a hell of an excuse to drop out, while sustaining less damage to either than losing to Kamala.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Would be funnier if he just did a big sulky pout and went "You know what? Fuck you" before storming off stage and flying away in his helicopter

What does that even look like for the culture of the US

the world has not yet witnessed brunches like the ones that are about to be had

If there ever was a time for it this would be it. Catch me out there mimosa in hand

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago

Trump becomes a shell of a man from the shooting and refuses to show up to anymore events before dropping out

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Imagining the pure chaos as his followers panic. A wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Deep Q sects would decide that the real Donald died after the assassination attempt, either from his wounds or he got got at the hospital, and that he was replaced with a deep state plant through plastic surgery. Even deeper Q sects would decide that he survived getting got and had plastic surgery to look like random dude who keeps showing up at Q meetups to fuck lonely boomer women.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don Jr and Eric both find another corpulent white dude to pretend is their dad to keep the grift going. Barron becomes known as The Fatherless and forges his own path.

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I would be surprised if Barron isn’t already a messianic Q figure.

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Off the top of my head, there was a sub-sect that thought he was Steve Bannon as a time traveler(?) advising Donald Trump how to do the Great Awakening right, and one where Barron was secretly the greatest chess player in the world and had been made the youngest grandmaster ever secretly for some reason

the large adult son that was foretold

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Speaking anecdotally, the more "normie" Trump voters out there I know all seem a bit bored and demoralized. Trumps schtick doesn't feel fresh anymore, that's part of the reason the "weird" thing is working so well. While they'd never admit it, most of the solidly middle and upper middle class ones have been doing pretty good under the Dems, their Roth IRAs have been doing bank. Biden wasn't the Judeo-Marxist dystopia they all imagined and pretending it is has gotten more and more exhausting for them.

I think a lot of them are quietly hoping he loses so they can slowly de-radicalize themselves, go back to whatever the conservative version of brunch is an be able to deny ever being a Trump fan at the next thanksgiving.

Trump’s life flashed before his eyes and he decided to live out his true dream of becoming a….

Someone help me out here.

He’s definitely more of a manager. Maybe he could look after ted dibiase. Is he still going?

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Old DiBiase came back for a little while a couple of years back for a funny storyline, young DiBiase Jr got fired like a decade ago and also apparently went to jail for charity / welfare fraud or some shit

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

He really just wants to be a famous talkshow host. I'm pretty sure that's all he's ever wanted. He wants the biggest show on TV, a platform to ramble about politics and Phantom of the Opera, and a place where he can make famous people show up and listen to him do those things while they tell him what an honor it is.

full-time grifter (I mean without the president stuff)

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

This would make it the second most successful political assassination attempt of recent times. And it would spark the left into a very serious debate about whether the situation with assassinations has changed.

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

people should set off fireworks near his rallies.

I want to have a Steven Colbert emoji to scream 'MOOOOCH' right now

Now that's a man who knows a little something about quitting.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago (8 children)

I was reading something a few weeks ago that Epstein associate whose name I forgot was writing a novel, and rumors were forming that Trump would drop out if there was mention of video of him. Could be related to that.

One of the freaks who make up his base is gonna try to shoot him again because he edged them for three years with no payoff

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

trump-enlightened the post nut clarity after edging for 8 years

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 12 points 3 months ago

I imagine he'll become president, immediately step down because he failed to ascend to lichdom with his brain intact and then it's President Couchussy time

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I need an interview where Mooch and Blagojavich interview each other

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Now I want to see a Vance vs Harris debate

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 3 months ago

I think would be funnier if he have s heart attack and could not speak after that anymore.
