    That would kind of mess up the businesses that rely on slave labor in the US. I don’t think he’ll be allowed to do it.

      If our reality was a miniseries - this 8th day of Trump’s presidency would been happening episodes deep because Trump is moving at warp speed. A batshit amount of batshit stuff has already happened. In another episode or two those in power would remove Trump in public by an assassin’s bullet or secretly by a method injecting him with an undetectable substance that kills him. The powerful would rest easy because President Vance would be in line with them and their thinking. Also - it’s a simple tie-in. President Trump is the first miniseries. President Vance is the second.

        Putin judges Trump a greater liability than asset then hires mercenary ninjas with 007-esque dart guns. In the season finale Trump is shot and disappears. No one knows if he’s alive or dead.

        We Schrodinger’s President our way through season 2, Vance adolescently rejecting living in the shadow of Papa Trump. In the season finale we find out that he’s Antifa. He’s summarily shot by a small town private in the US Army. AOC is caught in the crossfire and takes a head shot. Then, the ghost of Reagan returns to tell us what to do, but not until season 3.
