I can’t wait to see what logic they use to justify the fact that he committed a crime before he was president and was convicted after he was president.
Real question. If Trump goes to prison, does Vance take over at president? If so, would Trump be eligible for another since he only served one term due to this?
I don’t think he’d automatically take over. They’d probably have to use the 25th Amendment to allow the cabinet to transfer power, because god knows he’d never give it up himself.
But Trump would not be eligible for another term. The 22nd Amendment says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s another Trump assassin soon after the inauguration, maybe even at the inauguration, but this one is strangely successful and then Vance becomes president.
🙏🙏🙏 (not Vance becoming president, the event which would precede that)
I can see what you’re saying, but I’d rather have a dumb Nazi in charge than a smart one.
Who’s to say it’s not just going to be a repeat of the Dubya/Cheney dynamic? Trump’s just gonna sit there eating fish delites and double-fisting diet cokes, rage-watching RSBN, and just soaking, marinating in his filth. Meanwhile, Stephen Miller is going to snarf down a handful of chidren’s teeth for breakfast,* crack his knuckles for forty-five minutes, and decide which urban center gets hit with the first big wave of avian flu.
*he waits until sunset before he unhinges his jaw and swallows a dog whole
Because Trump does not let anyone tell him what to do not matter how stupid the alternative is.

Except Putin.
Trump was almost certainly never going to prison. Now it is completely certain.
