Say Trump gets his wish and becomes authoritarian leader of the US, the god-king his voters want.

When he dies in less than 10 years, who's going to take his place? What's the end goal for the Republicans after Trump? Do they even have one? (Probably not).

When he dies in less than 10 years,

Have you sen him lately? I bet he doesn't last 4 years at the rate he's shoveling the amphetamines into his face hole.

Someone got 1000 tabs of ProVigil from the White House pharmacy under Trump's watch & I bet it was President Meth-head himself.

In fairness last I knew provigil isn't anything like an amphetamine and has surprisingly few side effects.

It might be the latest and greatest but it still has the hallmarks of stimulants. Namely euphoria and anxiety, two feelings I'd prefer a president to have under control and only experience in the right circumstances.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

I take it for narcolepsy and it absolutely does not cause euphoria (or anxiety for me).

Anecdotal evidence doesn't prove the FDAs statements are incorrect, especially given that you're given it for a condition and not popping them for funsies.

Lol if you think Republicans don't have a plan, you're not paying attention. Those people are crafty motherfuckers.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 0 points 6 months ago

I mean yes but recently there are also true believers. People like MGT (I think that was her name?) aren't any craftier than a rock.

Probably nepotism will apply and one of his kids will take over. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump Jr was Trump's VP pick.

Ivanka is the best political Trump. His boys are utterly unlikeable, she can say least pass off as human like

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher 3 points 6 months ago

And with how much Trump likes her...
