His ex-wives did, "friends" did, bankers did, political allies did, etc. so he is eternally vigilant and ready to act. Trump derangement syndrome? Rename alzheimers after him?

I think you might be very correct. But then again, why would he not think that when he has betrayed almost everyone he has ever met. I think the ultimate irony would be if Vance and his cabinet invoked the 25th & gave him the boot. If only, Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only, Jerry Baumchen Not sure that’s not their end game. All the others are less likely to make a strategic mistake on the way to power. Wendy P.

One would have to talk to another to start and given that they are all there in self service I don't see it, much less two talking to another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only, Jerry Baumchen I’m willing to bet that JD will try a takeover using 25th or similar mechanism. I can’t quite decide if it will be before midterms and quite soon, but I more lean towards the point where he can serve 10 years. The argument of he’s unelectable is a moot point as I don’t believe you have free and fair elections. Also what JD believes and reality don’t need to match.

I think the ultimate irony would be if Vance and his cabinet invoked the 25th & gave him the boot. If only, Jerry Baumchen Vance has ambition to be the MAGA leader in waiting no doubt. The bootlickers who sat around Zelensky in the WH ready to take their turns proving how loyal they are proves that. I imagine his GOP potential successors are all in awe how Trump has managed to turn America into his personal piggy bank(see below). Nah, he'll bide his time and let Trump fire every gatekeeper for justice and integrity. After all with redistricting, with Trump's personal $200 million war chest, Trump is both an asset and very dangerous. A new disclosure shows how corporations and individuals, including many in the crypto business, wrote big checks while seeking favor from the president. I can easily see how someone with such flexible moral values as Vance. Can imagine himself making several billion off a presidency should he succeed Trump.
