All of the officers were involved in the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which independent reviews have blamed on both the Trump and Biden administrations.
Trump will start WWIII (put unacceptable sanctions on China, causing China to retaliate). And since war is so presidential, and really that would not be the time to change presidents, Democrats and Republicans decide its fine if he runs again.
I wasn’t criticizing you or your joke or something, your joke was funny. Just wanted to highlight how funny it is that the only unrealistic part was China’s response. The rest is sadly believable.
Thing is US is broke. China has a US sized population which they are signing deal after deal with in Indonesia. We’re becoming irrelevant. Which is smart for China.
The US is in debt at the federal level, but it still represents one of the largest markets because of how much spending power is held by the middle class, relative to other nations. It’s on the decline but it still isn’t at the point where China can just shrug off the US.
The silliest point would be to die of old age and have Vance take over, now without limits. But the broader point would be setting the conditions for a future evolution of the program.
I predict Trump will succeed. Trump has to get through SCOTUS too. But what I think is funny is that the GOP SCOTUS justices turned Trump into Godzilla without even something limiting like control collar. How can you say “no” to Godzilla? He does whatever he wants. The GOP justices gave Trump the powers of a king. Criminal law doesn’t apply to him. He can imprison, torture, or kill anybody. Even members of congress and their families or the justices themselves or their families.
Trump could just keep killing members of congress until the next one votes as he wants them to. I’d estimate about two or three dead predecessors before the next one gets the message.
Killing might not even be needed. Just a few minutes of waterboarding - with threats of doing it to their families - and any of them will be 100% broken and they’ll do whatever he wants them to do.
This would benefit dems longterm. Shit gets worse domestically marginally faster under republicans and they struggle to get reelected as a result. People meanwhile really really would have voted for Obama a third time and he’d definitely be on his way to his fifth term rn
Wow, this presidency might actually be the next phase. I predict that he will attempt to convince Congress to remove term limits from the presidency.
What would even be the point, the man is term limited by life
I used to think the funniest outcome would be that Trump wins 2024 and then dies before he takes office.
But this raises a new, even funnier idea: Trump wins 2028 and then dies before he starts his third term.

:fdr-shining:
I think the most unrealistic part of this is that China retaliates with military force to sanctions. The rest is much more believable lol
Exactly. Pretty sure China’s plan is either cooperate and build prosperity together, or…
I was just trying to mirror what Japan did in response to US provocations.

Attempt? You act as though they’ll provide any pushback
