Prediction: Trump administration will end in a "medical event"

[grantcart]

Not impeachment nor 25th amendment I predict that Trump will experience a major medical event and resign. We have all seen people who have tried to live in denial or deep cognitive tension and it always results in a civil war between the body and the disordered personality and the body always wins.

Anybody that has the level of internal conflict that Trump has with the insatiable need for wide spread approval and the need for fawning adoration will eventually be punished by their own body and I think it is just a matter of time before Trump's body delivers a massive "medical event" in an effort to save itself from the impossible predicament that he has gotten himself into.

The erratic behaviour and megalomania are clear sign posts. Are starting to see the beginning of a complete mental breakdown?

Consider this bizarre exchange with the Economist

TRUMP: It is OK, because it won’t increase it for long. You may have two years where you’ll… you understand the expression “prime the pump”?

ECONOMIST: Yes.

TRUMP: We have to prime the pump.

ECONOMIST: It’s very Keynesian.

TRUMP: We’re the highest-taxed nation in the world. Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?

ECONOMIST: Priming the pump?

TRUMP: Yeah, have you heard it?

ECONOMIST: Yes.

TRUMP: Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven’t heard it. I mean, I just… I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It’s what you have to do.

He thinks he came up with "prime the pump".

Has his mind started to lose its bearings?

1. He will be trying to avoid having his assetts seized.

Hope they do not fall for any such scam.

No deals. No pardon. No parole.

Seize all assetts.

Traitors do no deserve mercy.

[rufus dog]

2. I agree with you with the medical event ending his reign

As for the prime the pump comment, I think it is much more likely that he had no friggen idea about "Keynesian" and went down a rabbit hole that ended with his prime the pump gaff. He is much more like Sarah Palin than anyone wants to admit, just fucking dumb as a rock.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Priming the pump is necessary

For making zee golden showers. Da?

[Freddie]

4. He looks like a stroke or heart attack waiting to happen

Not to wish ill health on anyone, but...

[cally]

5. That's what I think

I think the stress of investigation and news coverage plus poor health will cause a stroke or heart attack.

AAAND... Repubs will try to cover it up!!!!!

[DetlefK]

7. +1

A 70yo choleric fast-food lover with a stressful job?

[grantcart]

10. I think the body will choose stroke

and don't wish it on anyone but if he is going to have it I think it would be a great public education event if he would slowly disassemble physically during a speech where people are thinking he is making fun of the reporter again and he is left with dribble and a twisted expression.

Just think how much it could do for stroke prevention education. A real public service.

Not that I actually wish it on anyone, of course.

[BigBearJohn]

29. Yes, I I wouldn't wish a stroke that paralyzes somebody from the neck down either

[bdamomma]

34. no he is deteriorating

I hate looking at him, but for the Lester Holt interview his face is getting fatter, and he has a little pie hole. Again, I hate listening to him or looking at him.

He needs to go....anywhere, somewhere get him away from us. Send him to Russia with love.

[Freddie]

38. A lot of meds cause weight gain in the face

Wonder what he's taking. He's definitely deteriorating in appearance and speech. Of course repugs will hide this like St. Ronnie's Alzheimer's.

[ginny skinny]

6. I'm hoping for an "incarceration event"

I'm hoping he lives a long, long time. In prison.

[get the red out]

27. That would be my preference too

I would like for him to wear an orange jumpsuit until he's 100.

[mopinko]

8. i predict a "stroke"

which will be used to "back date" his confusion- oh, this was the big one, but see, now we know he had smaller ones before. after the election, of course.

dr oldhippie will concur.

[Orrex]

9. He uses that phrase like there's no tomorrow

Which is, incidentally, an expression that he also invented.

[duncang]

11. I think the medical event will be

His hair will break. And he will go into hiding for a few weeks only to be seen leaving the WH with a maga cap. Never to be seen again.

[Egnever]

12. Agreed

He is going to blow a gasket. The presidency is a stressful job on a good day and I don't think he has had a good day yet.

[bdamomma]

35. I believe that too

blowing a gasket, or in medical terms having a pulmonary embolus, or a heart issue. (oh silly me he doesn't have a heart!!)

[Txbluedog]

13. That is the only way the Republican party can survive....

If Trump leaves office by any other method besides medical incapacity or end of term will cause the deplorables to revolt against establishment republicans.

[Wednesdays]

14. Yeah, something will "happen"

and it will be very convenient.

[BannonsLiver]

15. I keep thinking he'll tumble down the AF1 stairs.

I've seen 95 year olds negotiate stairs with more confidence. He's very unsteady on his feet with stairs.

[grantcart]

16. Reporters actually investigated whether Trump suffers from

bathmophobia, or a fear of stairs after seeing his off technique.

[BannonsLiver]

17. That makes a lot of sense

I think he pulls a Gerald Ford before it's all said and done. Hopefully I'll be watching it live when it happens.

[MoonRiver]

18. Maybe Melanie will push him,

since the clod always charges ahead of her.

[annabanana]

20. giggle. . . . .n/t

[grantcart]

39. I wonder if there is any antifreeze in the closet

[grantcart]

40. by the way what ever happened to Melanie - seems to be in hiding

[MoonRiver]

46. My bad typed an e instead of an a.

But regarding Melania, I'd be hiding from Chump's fat ass too!

[annabanana]

19. If he thinks it's a good idea, it must, by definition, be something HE thought up..

If it's a bad idea, I was clearly thought up by some loser..

[Initech]

21. I don't think Trump has had a minute of sleep in 6 years.

Or more. And he also gets no exercise and eats nothing but garbage. I foresee a massive coronary in his future. And it will follow with a lot of conspiracy theorists claiming we "offed" him.

[grantcart]

31. His body will arrange an extended period of rest

[Orsino]

22. I don't know how else he can possibly pretend to save face when resigning.

But for health reasons? That would contradict every last claim he's ever made about his vigor, health and sexual prowess.

[Kentonio]

23. Trump contradict himself?

Surely not..

[grantcart]

24. but he won't resign so his body will exercise a veto in the

form of a stroke.

Actually seen this happen to people who live with flagrant internal contradictions.

[Ilsa]

25. I think we will all wake up to the news

Soon that dft died in his sleep, no autopsy to be performed.

[get the red out]

26. Not unless it is a real one

The reality he lives in is that he has done nothing wrong and he can always prove he is right.

But he's also a fat old guy, so if he has a medical emergency, I think it will be for real.

[Thomas Hurt]

28. He is a malignant narcissist, he just says shit to make himself look good.

[taught_me_patience]

30. More disturbing that he asked essentially the same question three times

in what was probably thirty seconds. The stress has to be getting to his feeble heart.

[Paladin]

32. Hundreds of years from now, historians will still be shaking their heads over trump.

Whatever the reasons for his ultimately leaving the office---impeachment, "medical event," insufficient numbers of worshipful crowds, whatever---it can't happen soon enough to suit me.

[grantcart]

37. Historians will never get a chance.

Every year there will be a new comedy, rock opera, anime.

It will spawn a new industry.

[dalton99a]

33. He'll promote himself to "emeritus president" next year

when Democrats retake the House

[Bradical79]

36. I wouldn't be shocked

He's old and lives an extremely unhealthy lifestyle with stress constantly. His mind clearly is going too. I could see him have a stroke or heart attack at any time.

[madokie]

41. Rather

his bearings have lost their mind

[sofa king]

42. I think Trump's going to be President for Life...

... and I think that, like Dick Cheney, he will outlive all of us.

You think I kid, but I'm telling you, the conservatives see the writing on the wall. The demographics don't support their model and what they've already done--going back to the Nixon era--includes crimes with no statute of limitations.

They're not giving America back. Ever. They'll give it to Russia first.

[workinclasszero]

43. I hate to admit it but

I think you are right.

[malaise]

44. But but but

he's been a lunatic for ages

[grantcart]

45. Yes but before he could escape the scrutiny until it died down and then return, rested and ready.

Now he is under 24 hour scrutiny, which wouldn't be 24 hours except that he appears to stay up all night.

Eventually the body will say "I have a solution, if we shut down all key systems for a while they will take me a nice quiet room with nurses".

[grantcart]

47. maybe the travel will trigger it
