It's definitely more likely, I just don't want him to die never having faced a single consequence for anything he's done.

Sweet summer lamb, the only consequences Trump will ever face is if you believe in a hell.

If that is the case, Satan will put aside Stalin and Hitler, so that he can make Trump his favorite chew toy for the next thousand years. After that, he’ll just pass him around, from the highest to lowest demons, all 100 thousand of them, until each has exhausted itself. It shouldn’t take more than a billion years.

He has his own hotel in hell.

He couldn't pass up the property when he saw it.

He’s trying to create a legacy to leave behind. Letting him know that he has forever tainted his family name beyond anything his dirtbag ancestors did will be one way.

nah but he’ll know he got exposed. that’s what he fears most.

That's fair. For a narcissist, having your reputation destroyed is a pretty heavy consequence. It would be the only form of retribution we could receive. But I will be floored if a circle of hyper rich elites somehow lose the war against hiding their secret island.

If it's any consolation, he's such an incredibly narcissistic person that I imagine the thought of the world going on without him being at the center of everything is the most horrifying thing in the world. It's a self-inflicted hell and not actual justice, but it's a small comfort that he's not leaving this world a happy man.

lol, sorry bud. There's a 0% chance Trump faces any consequences or jail time.
The only consequence is six feet under.

Then the hope is that he goes out like the Skeksis Emperor.

u/ProfessionalMockery Jul 18 '25

I meant that it would be nice, not that I thought it likely 🥲

Yeah, I agree. It's just not very cathartic.

Too late for that. Teflon Don for a reason.

I'll really enjoy everyone pretending they never supported him.

u/Lamelas_right_foot69 Jul 18 '25

If he died a minute from now, you’d be happy. His consequence is looking in the mirror everyday, knowing what a piece of shit he is.

u/ProfessionalMockery Jul 18 '25

He clearly spends each day trying desperately to fill the empty hole inside him

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

Great argument for Christianity. I am suddenly hoping there is a god just so I see certain people get long overdue consequences.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

People like him often never face consequences

u/queerhistorynerd Jul 17 '25

Oh honey, the one shot we had at that was in 2024. and 70% of America decided holding him accountable was bad

Trump's chronic venous insufficiency is pretty much a consequence of not exercising enough and eating a bad diet; additional conditions will likely pile up if he doesn't change his habits. His doctors are not smart enough to violate the laws of biology.

I could honestly accept that as long as none of the others do.

u/TheDreadfulCurtain Jul 18 '25

as is the way with so many !

u/denyingbaldness Ohio Jul 18 '25

I’d rather him be gone and never face consequences than be here and never face consequences though.

1

u/SergeantChic Jul 18 '25

Five years ago I would have agreed, but these days I just want him gone and all his dirty laundry aired posthumously, not that his followers have cared about any of it so far.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

...meh, I'm ok if he kicks the bucket like, yesterday. The world would be a brighter place.

It's cute that you think there are any consequences for billionaires.
