    Exactly.

    As weird as it is to say, Trumps unpredictability, irrationality, and penchant for reacting without thinking, have probably mitigated more damage than its caused.

    When you get Vance in there, Who is capable of self control, who has the pressure of the money masters on him to do X… I think things would genuinely get much worse under him. Especially since he’d also be struggling to reign in control of the cult of trump and direct them usefully… Possibly by declaring that liberals were responsible for Trumps death, and inciting extreme violence as a result to distract from his own weakness.

      I do think it will improve under vance. He is far more likely to listen to advisors. And far less likely to start a war to distract from him being in the Epstien files.

        Van would be wholly submissive to his masters. The same masters that try to control trump, but often fail due to Trumps own inbuilt idiocy.

            Trump can be replaced immediately by any hack TV personality. That Hercules guy, for example…

            Or anyone with solid name recognition, like Bezos. It’s a really big deal for the stupid, and the stupid are most of the registered voters, after all.

              No, bezos is too smart for that crowd. They want to feel equal to. They want someone as stupid as them, so that when he calls someone stupid with no basis, they feel validated calling anyone left of them stupid as well.

              or they can just say the liberals did it, and the cult wont care whose in charge, because blood and vengeance will be on their minds instead.

              People are going to be worshipping Trump like a god after he dies. There’s no replacing that.

          I think JD is still likely to be puppeted by a consortium of evil, but he may also be beholden to a smaller subset of evil masters than DT. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not

            Eh. They can’t tell Trump what to do, only nudge and manipulate. Trump has to think it’s his idea.

            Vance will do as he’s told.

      If there is a civil war, I hope Trump lives long enough to prosecute it. I want my enemies to be wholly incompetent, it would save many innocent lives.
