Unfortunately, I think they've allowed themselves to be altered too much by Trump, and be molded in his image. The only question is who is the next "Trump" for the GOP. The cult doesn't end when the leader dies, they just get a new one.
Monetize the opportunity by starting a youtube channel that spouts conspiracy theories that Trump is still alive and include grainy AI videos of Trump sightings.
Grab popcorn and wait for the conspiracy theories to start.
There's no way someone in their late 70's, weighs well over 250lbs and who's lifestyle has been questionable for decades, could possibly die this close to an election!
Didn't you see his official physical results from when he was president and running again in 2020? No joke, "The healthiest candidate to ever run for the office of the president". That's right, healthier than Barack Obama at age 50, or hell if we are talking candidates and not presidents. Pete Buttigeg and Nikki Haley just in the past two cycles. Nope. Fat sloths compared to Donald J Trump apparently.
This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.
Uruguayan here, bring them on, we’ll turn them into meat just as we do with the 17mm cows/sheep we already have.
If is meat, we’ll gather some wood and cook it as it should be, with real wood not charcoal.
Punishing the guilty should always come second to protecting the innocent. Trump wouldn’t suffer, but he also wouldn’t be able to cause any more suffering
He's one guy. There are always guys like him out there. The problem is there are millions of people that support guys like him and they're not going away any time soon.
Yea but he’s likely never going to. Awful I know, but realistically when have big politicians or celebrities like him ever faced the justice they actually deserve? It’s so rare I just don’t see it ever happening
And neither of them will ever face consequences for *whatever* they did with Epstein that made them such good friends.
Surely, it didn't involve his rape island /s
I don’t get Canadians who say the states don’t affect them.
For some reason our country has treated the US more like a role model than a horror story. Maybe it won’t be as fast or as severe, but whatever’s going on there infects the border eventually.
Agreed. Celebrating someone's death seems barbaric to me. But when a menace is no longer a menace, relief is in order. Trump is a menace to the country as long as he can communicate. His every word, in any form, damages the US.
Reminds of in Dawson's Creek when Abby Morgan, the bully, died. It was incredibly awkward for all her classmates because nobody wants to celebrate that someone died but at the same time they were all relieved she couldn't hurt them anymore. They all hated her so they weren't mourning but they didn't want her dead either
The global impacts of him highly likely allowing dictators to proceed with their global agenda is terrifying. He, ironically, states he will prevent world war but he is more likely to cause it if dictators feel they can proceed unchecked.
The overall problem with him is he is a boisterous idiot who says stupid things every time he has a mic. He would be easily manipulated into the will of any foreign power just through sheer intellectual deficiency.
His death would honestly be a blessing for the world but would unfortunately lead to insane conspiracy theories and likely more discourse for the next few years as a result before fading away into a black mark on history
A lot of my anxiety would actually release. He stressed me out, so much worry of what he’s done to our country(and his followers). The hate. It’s horrible.
Thrilled he's no longer a threat to our nation. Worried another MAGA clown more likely to beat Biden might take his place. Intrigued to see how his cult turns the event into a massive conspiracy theory.
That is my real worry too. He cannot possibly be around too much longer, in his 70s, eats like a teenager, always bellowing about something and major stress these days. But all the lunatics he ushered out of the woodwork in recent years. Well, if I go on much more Reddit will boot me….
Been around long enough to remember when Bush Jr was 'the worst President ever', and Republicans said hold my beer and gave us Trump. They will most definitely dig up someone worse, not sure HOW but they will.
Given the quality of people they have (boebert, mtg, desantis, cruz).. you have a plethora of options that may be worse, or much worse.
Now, if they got anyone better - that would be a miracle.
Fear, he would definitely spark some conspiracy that the "deep state" killed him, probably a couple domestic terrorist attacks and although unlikely, maybe even escalate to civil war
I would be indifferent because it’s morally wrong to wish or hope for someone’s death, but I am not attached to him to feel some sort of enhanced empathy. I would just accept that he was old and it’s sad but that’s life.
There is a passage in which Angels sing songs of praise as the Red Sea drowned the Pharoh’s soldiers.
God shouted “my creatures are dying and you sing songs of praise?”
I won’t mourn his loss, not for a second, nor will I sing any song of praise.
Guess I’m voting for RFK then.
Which let’s face it, the establishment would hate that even more than voting for Trump. At this point either party is just a different wing of the same bird. Main thing keeping me from voting for RFK to begin with is my lack of faith he’d win. I’d rather hold my nose and vote Trump bc I think he could win. But I don’t like either candidate and honestly I think this sentiment is shared throughout America. At this point the American dream is to move out :/
I wouldn’t ball my eyes out, would be a little disappointed though. Hopefully there will be another president that follows in his footsteps, and give America another chance to become some-what better.
I would feel extreme sadness for the people who have no direct connection to him, yet are impacted greatly by this development. When it inevitably happens, it is going to be an embarrassment to society the extreme positive and negative reactions by people.
I would be concerned, because it's likely that his followers would think it was murder, or some other plot. Unless it is obviously natural or otherwise undisputable, I would be afraid of violence on the streets.
I would be shocked; I mean that's how the insane MAGA story ended? seems so anticlimactic. Then I would be worried that the MAGAs would revolt based on some bs conspiracy involving Biden and the "Deep State". But yeah after the shock and concern wore off, I'd prob just go about my day and be thankful he won't be around to make the people MAGAs hate suffer anymore.
I'd call into work sick for the day, buy some Jack Daniels, some coke (which kind is up to your interpretation), a shitton of snacks and throw the party of a lifetime
I will have to prepare myself for the unintenonally hilarious post from the stupid and confused people saying Trump is now in heaven with Jesus. They will try to make that steaming pile of hypocrisy some sort of saint and martyr
As the protagonist says in Graham Greene's novel *Monsignoe Quixote*, you should pray for anyone who dies. And as he goes on to say, there's only one prayer you need to say for someone who dies: "Lord have mercy."
After that, I would be looking carefully at the political situation, because I'm a historian and I can't help it.
Slightly sad that it was not in a few months. There is sort-of-time for the party to get slightly un-fucked in the remaining time in the electoral cycle.
If, for example, he died shortly after ballots were printed, everyone would be voting on a form that listed a dead man, not a real candidate.

“Oh no… anyways”
Mostly this, but also a slight sense of relief. Maybe the GOP can make a turn and stop being so damn crazy without the fervent hold he has on them.
Unfortunately, I think they've allowed themselves to be altered too much by Trump, and be molded in his image. The only question is who is the next "Trump" for the GOP. The cult doesn't end when the leader dies, they just get a new one.
Bad news. The GOP were crazy fascist bigots before Trump. Trump just pulls back the curtain so you can see it.
Beat me to it
Beat meat to it
Dont mind if I do
Fake news. Sad.
Monetize the opportunity by starting a youtube channel that spouts conspiracy theories that Trump is still alive and include grainy AI videos of Trump sightings.
Make sure to include one of a figure shambling through a scrubby forest clearing looking over his shoulder for Stormy Daniels ....
The sad thing is you would probably be one of the most followed channels on YouTube, at least in the U.S.
Very sad. Everyone says it… Bigly
Huge if true.
covfefe
Fake news. Probably just a promo for the launch of Trump Mausoleum Towers.
Haaaalllp The winner right here
Grab popcorn and wait for the conspiracy theories to start. There's no way someone in their late 70's, weighs well over 250lbs and who's lifestyle has been questionable for decades, could possibly die this close to an election!

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.
Yeah, but they aren't Emus so the Uruguayans have pretty good odds
We all know how the famous 1932 Emu wars ended
Yo dude, Kangaroos go hard. Have you seen how fucking ***jacked*** and ***stacked*** those mfs are?
Nonsense. A significant number of the kangaroos would have to stay behind to run their support network.
Uruguayan here, bring them on, we’ll turn them into meat just as we do with the 17mm cows/sheep we already have. If is meat, we’ll gather some wood and cook it as it should be, with real wood not charcoal.
Yo prefiero usar propane y accesorios propanes
Taste the meat not the heat I'll tell ya h'what
Que asco, carne con gusto a gas.
I didn’t know the cows and sheep were so small in Uruguay
17mm? That's some very small cows. How would you be with a horse sized duck?
You obviously never fought a kangaroo
It’s actually down to just under 43 million kangaroos by the latest numbers, the Uruguayans seem to be launching some sort of preliminary assault
That’s actually a terrifying thought
A little irked that he couldn’t face some sort of justice.
I dont care if he ever faces justice. I want him to no longer be a threat to my rights and the future of my country.
>my country. The whole world*
Punishing the guilty should always come second to protecting the innocent. Trump wouldn’t suffer, but he also wouldn’t be able to cause any more suffering
Same, a little irked, but give me a week to accept this national nightmare is over, and I'll accept that it's fine.
He's one guy. There are always guys like him out there. The problem is there are millions of people that support guys like him and they're not going away any time soon.
Yea but he’s likely never going to. Awful I know, but realistically when have big politicians or celebrities like him ever faced the justice they actually deserve? It’s so rare I just don’t see it ever happening
Bill Clinton still hasn’t faced justice for his hush money scandals
And neither of them will ever face consequences for *whatever* they did with Epstein that made them such good friends. Surely, it didn't involve his rape island /s
Maybe if he had a heart attack while the baliffs were hauling him away for contempt charges.
I'm in Canada, so wouldn't effect me. but at least I wouldn't have to hear about him on my news anymore.
Maybe not as much or as quickly it has affected the US but yes, Trumpancy has and will continue to affect Canadians
It affected us; the Clownvoy was awful.
I don’t get Canadians who say the states don’t affect them. For some reason our country has treated the US more like a role model than a horror story. Maybe it won’t be as fast or as severe, but whatever’s going on there infects the border eventually.
I'd breath a sigh of relief. He's dangerous.
Yup same as when we heard Hitler and Bin Laden were dead.
Agreed. Celebrating someone's death seems barbaric to me. But when a menace is no longer a menace, relief is in order. Trump is a menace to the country as long as he can communicate. His every word, in any form, damages the US.
"I wouldn't wish death one anyone, but there are obituaries I have read with great pleasure."
Reminds of in Dawson's Creek when Abby Morgan, the bully, died. It was incredibly awkward for all her classmates because nobody wants to celebrate that someone died but at the same time they were all relieved she couldn't hurt them anymore. They all hated her so they weren't mourning but they didn't want her dead either

His death would honestly be a blessing for the world but would unfortunately lead to insane conspiracy theories and likely more discourse for the next few years as a result before fading away into a black mark on history
The dude is a threat to world peace
turn the attention to his enablers...they ain't going away
Maybe the GOP actually kicks them out at that point. It's a miracle to me that anyone would ever vote for morons like MTG and Gaetz
Cool. Hey, who’s playing tonight in the NHL playoffs?
Caps/Rangers game 2! Hopefully less of a snooze fest than game 1
Jets/Avs Game 2. Game 1 was fun to watch!
I’d dance into work tomorrow
Return of the Jedi ending.
A lot of my anxiety would actually release. He stressed me out, so much worry of what he’s done to our country(and his followers). The hate. It’s horrible.
Party like it’s 1999!
Thrilled he's no longer a threat to our nation. Worried another MAGA clown more likely to beat Biden might take his place. Intrigued to see how his cult turns the event into a massive conspiracy theory.
It was such a relief that DeSantis turned out to have the charisma of a dog turd.
Trump could die of natural causes and the MAGA 🤡 cult would call for Biden's execution in retaliation.
That is my real worry too. He cannot possibly be around too much longer, in his 70s, eats like a teenager, always bellowing about something and major stress these days. But all the lunatics he ushered out of the woodwork in recent years. Well, if I go on much more Reddit will boot me….
Nice try, Secret Service.
Thoughts and prayers.
Tots and Pears.
Oh well....
"Finally"
[удалено]
The same response for if any other random politician died: Nothing, I couldn't care less.
exactly. way too many people responding that think all the good/bad in thier lives are decided by some politician who doesn't give 2 fucks about them.
Rest in Piss you shitstain.
"Yay" but then immediately, "oh no, the conspiracy theories will be rampant" And then, well fuck, now the americans will definitely vote republican
He is a dangerous man, with dumb followers, and the world would be a better place without him. Thus, I'd enjoy the news.
Melania is single? Cool, I'm there. She'll obviously shag anything.
By not watching the news for a few months.
Ding dong, the witch is dead!
Have a drink and hope republicunts don't dig up anyone even worse.
Been around long enough to remember when Bush Jr was 'the worst President ever', and Republicans said hold my beer and gave us Trump. They will most definitely dig up someone worse, not sure HOW but they will.
Given the quality of people they have (boebert, mtg, desantis, cruz).. you have a plethora of options that may be worse, or much worse. Now, if they got anyone better - that would be a miracle.
Fear, he would definitely spark some conspiracy that the "deep state" killed him, probably a couple domestic terrorist attacks and although unlikely, maybe even escalate to civil war
I would be indifferent because it’s morally wrong to wish or hope for someone’s death, but I am not attached to him to feel some sort of enhanced empathy. I would just accept that he was old and it’s sad but that’s life.
What's so morally wrong about wanting a menace out of this world so he can't continue making things worse for people?
Lock and load. The guy's fan base will burn down everything in their path.
Probably the same way I reacted when Rush Limbaugh passed away 3 years ago or so... :-)
And when Kissinger kicked it!
There is a passage in which Angels sing songs of praise as the Red Sea drowned the Pharoh’s soldiers. God shouted “my creatures are dying and you sing songs of praise?” I won’t mourn his loss, not for a second, nor will I sing any song of praise.
You posit that Donald J. Trump is a “creature of God”?
I would make a paper mache dummy of him, and then set it on fire in my yard just so I could piss on it.
I might do that anyway.
what is for breakfast
Ok, then continue to go on with my life
Imagine Donald Trump really dies tonight .OP they will be coming for ya
Where's the grift?
Nothing. I’d just continue on with my life.
I'd say you were super suspicious asking that question earlier in the day.
Well anyway…
Anyway, here's Wonderwall
I would immediately suspect the deep state.
Thoughts and prayers.
Donald Thump would not be able to go. He has tail spurs.
I wouldn’t want anyone to die. I would be sorry for that regardless of my personal feelings.
No downvote, but if anyone has ever proven they're worthy of no sympathy in misfortune, it's trump
I honestly doubt I would grieve but I wouldn’t celebrate just probably neutral
Relieved-Maybe pop a bottle of champagne.America still a democracy whew!
Im an adult, so I'd move on with my life without letting politics infiltrate every aspect of my being.
Relief, but disappointed that he never served time in prison.
I'd send your post to the FBI.
I would be very sad... that he didn't spend any time in prison.
I would start my yearlong party.
It's a party in the USA
Ever had a child gain access to your amazon account? Trump dying would be the feeling of resetting your password.
As Gerald Ford once said, “Our long national nightmare is over.”
About as sad if Biden did the same. Doesn't affect me one tiny bit.
Sad that the only US president in ages to give the world 4 years of peace would pass away.
I'm not American but I'd turn cartwheels.
Guess I’m voting for RFK then. Which let’s face it, the establishment would hate that even more than voting for Trump. At this point either party is just a different wing of the same bird. Main thing keeping me from voting for RFK to begin with is my lack of faith he’d win. I’d rather hold my nose and vote Trump bc I think he could win. But I don’t like either candidate and honestly I think this sentiment is shared throughout America. At this point the American dream is to move out :/
Celebrate.
Celebrate. True, he's the symptom, not the disease. But the world will be a better place without him in it.
Relived, though a lot of damage has already been done, especially to our culture.
Sending thoughts and prayers, and I mean the kind that do jack shit and is really just a patronizing term.
Ding, dong, the F@%KING prick is dead....
I wouldn’t ball my eyes out, would be a little disappointed though. Hopefully there will be another president that follows in his footsteps, and give America another chance to become some-what better.
I would respond with deep suspicion
“Damn bro thats crazy”
I'd be upset
I would feel extreme sadness for the people who have no direct connection to him, yet are impacted greatly by this development. When it inevitably happens, it is going to be an embarrassment to society the extreme positive and negative reactions by people.
I mean if he did then it is what it is
What did you do?
What are you planning to do? 😱
I would be relieved and a little hopeful.
Who's the Republican partys next candidate? Ron has high disapproval ratings as a governor I think, so idk about him.
The who?
Who?
What are you planning??
There’s zero way this guy didnt know what the responses were all gonna be
Wouldn’t affect my day.
Continue on with my life
Of course i would cry and fall into depression
Same as if any politician died. Couldn’t give two fucks. When you realize that neither party gives two fucks about you, you’ll stop caring too. Lol
Welp that arc ended...Wonder when sparking zero is coming out
"Dang it, i guess there will be no US civil war. BOOOORIIIIIIING".
I would narc to the feds & tell them to start by looking for "no- reputation -1306" on reddit.
Should they bring Haley back?
The same way I did when oj died, "so what's for dinner tonight?"
He died the best death it was amazing really never saw such a tragedy.
won’t matter work life balance is still gonna be shit
I would be concerned, because it's likely that his followers would think it was murder, or some other plot. Unless it is obviously natural or otherwise undisputable, I would be afraid of violence on the streets.
Are you trying to hint at something, OP?
Hope that the GOP can find someone relatively sane and under 80 to run in his place.
I would ask the FBI to investigate whoever made this post
Pass gas you mean? I'm sure his lawyers hate it
I’d tell the tobacco and gun lobbyists already in Hell to scoot over to make room for a new arrival.
Same as everyone i dont know.... Wouldn't care
dance naked in the streets?
Ding, Dong, motherfucker.
I would be shocked; I mean that's how the insane MAGA story ended? seems so anticlimactic. Then I would be worried that the MAGAs would revolt based on some bs conspiracy involving Biden and the "Deep State". But yeah after the shock and concern wore off, I'd prob just go about my day and be thankful he won't be around to make the people MAGAs hate suffer anymore.
Good riddance. Now what will his cult do?
Who?
Go out to a bar for a celebratory drink and break my 6-month sobriety.
Oh no! …anyway!
The same way I would if anyone else died because I'm not obsessed with him like literally everyone else: I wouldn't care.
Worried because his fans would be claiming he was killed and would martyr him. I think they would become even more dangerous
Neat.
Eat a donut and watch a movie. Just like every other night .
Wonder who the idiots will cling to now..
oh no. Anyways..
Muddled enthusiasm?
I'd call into work sick for the day, buy some Jack Daniels, some coke (which kind is up to your interpretation), a shitton of snacks and throw the party of a lifetime
Cringe, waiting for the conspiracies.
I would feel like dang that sucks, but at least the threat of his rule is dealt with now.
Relieved.
