          There’s been no real spike in Trump out of office by 2027 market recently but it’s crawled up a point in the last day. I doubt you’ll find anyone to take a bet on death, to easy to fix (we should be so lucky) but there are several online betting markets that will take your action on out by the end of the year for whatever reason.

        I actually have a theory about that. Regardless of whether you believe that the Bible is divinely inspired or not, clearly its authors knew a lot about human nature.

        Humans haven’t changed much in 2000 years. Narcissistic assholes existed then, they exist today. Some scholars think that the authors were really describing Emperor Nero. It’s not a stretch to think that a description of Nero back then might sound a lot like Trump today.

          Wouldn’t be surprised. Much of the Bible is just straight up plagiarised from Mesopotamian culture and stories. Why stop the slapdash there? May as well add in a “Fuck the Romans” bit and pair them to one of the monsters beasts.

        TBF, the Antichrist (as popularly understood) doesn’t really show up in the Bible and is a character created largely in the 20th century by Voltron-ing together a bunch of obscure passages. In the Bible, the term is used like four times and refers to people who are, literally, anti-Christ.

        There’s a segment of Christianity that thinks someone like Trump will bring about the rapture so they support him fully.

          Yeah, they’re full blown “the End Times are nigh, and we’ll all be raptured to heaven if we help it along” level crazies, but they vote like clockwork.

        Because he doesn’t know any better. He is, truly and actually, one of the dumbest motherfuckers to ever failson his way into a position of power, and this is backed up by testimony of his teachers.

        An 8 year old child, or even ChatGPT, can reliably predict his actions in advance because he really is actually that simple. He has specific reactions to specific stimuli that can always be gamed because they’re always the same. Guy operates like one of the ghosts in Pac-Man. If you know how his actions are wired you can lead him by the nose down whatever path you want.

        His investors and handlers know this and use it to push their agendas. Everyone else makes the mistake of trying to speak at him like he’s a sapient creature, and that fails to get results because he doesn’t operate like a sapient creature does.

    There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office.

    If you count warcrimes, white collar crimes and golf as work, then sure. But for the American people, not so much. Everything he does is for his criminal enterprise.

    But pleeeeeaaaaase don’t be dead Donny. JD is so much worse.

    Keep in mind that the Daily Mirror is a dubiously reliable British tabloid and extremely eager to sensationalize any crumbs they can get. Also keep in mind that baseless social media rumors are extremely easy to start when people want them to be true.

    In this case, “forced to deny US president death and hospital rumors” means (per their own article):

    Trump’s personal spokesman, Steven Cheung, posted on X: “There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office. God Bless him.”

    It would be actually hilarious if this antichrist-type dies on Easter weekend, but I don’t have my hopes up more than any other day.

      Russia thinks the Trump Presidency is amazing for them. First Trump cuts support for Ukraine, then Trump blames Ukraine for keeping the war going by dastardly not surrendering to Russia. And now Trump is raising global oil proces, radically increasing the income of the Russian state. All while delegitimizing the US.

      China probably cheers on the weakening of US power too. And US Republicans also overwhelmingly supports Trump, for reasons known only to them.

      So if you add up Russia and China (enemies of America) and Republicans (but I repeat myself), way less than 98% of people wants Trump dead.

        It is so funny USAmericans need to blame Russia for your own shitty corrupt settler colonial society instead of just taking responsibility. It isn’t Russia. If anything the government in Russia is the result of US actions, not the other way around. You literally over threw the Soviet Union with color revolutions than installed Yeltzin there then worked with Putin for a long time before deciding to shift the blame to him. You are the evil ones. You are the illegitimate ones. Death to the USA.
