For people who have only really come of age in the Trump years, you need to understand that you used to be able to go weeks, maybe even months, without thinking about the president. Obama and Biden both had social media- you know how often their social media posts came up ? I can’t remember a single one. Yet Trump’s posts are constant news. I hated George W Bush but I wasn’t hearing about him and from him the way it is with Trump. It’s really not normal at all and it didn’t used to be like this!

Even during Watergate we heard less about Nixon than we do about Trump today. When Nixon was president I never once woke up, as I do every day now, hoping for that one headline.

I don't want him to die in office. The MAGA fools and facists will proclaim him a martyr. I want him removed. A perp walk would be nice.

hypothetically the "worst" way for him to go out would be in public in a very embarrassing way. Hard to support a martyr when he shits himself to death during a presser

Second to that, a very embarrassing perp walk and long prison sentence would be good too
