Trump is old as shit and loves McDonalds. It’s a medical miracle that he hasn’t died of a heart attack in his sleep already. He’s not going to be here much longer regardless.
Yeah usually it either shifts into a democracy, oligarchy, junta, or a new completely random dictator. It’s not exactly easy to predict but there is enough of a pattern to say there’s a good chance none of Trump’s spawn will be in charge.
Most dictators don’t die while still in power, but that’s mostly because most of them seize power when they’re relatively young. Often they’re generals in the army and aged 40 or something. That means they need to live 40ish years before dying and handing off power. In many cases they use their time in office to eliminate all opposition so that if they do live long enough to hand over power, it doesn’t matter if their sons are relatively weak.
Trump’s a unique case because he gained power in his 70s, so that’s not a lot of time to shape the country so that his failson can take over.
You mean centuries? From 1776? When all men were created equally? And just men. None of those pesky women! And obviously only full real men. None of those 3/5ths of a man! Legally speaking of coarse…
I would put /s, but it’s not really sarcasm. More of a condemnation of our entire country which tries to project these ideas that we’re some great country built on respectable principals.
Fact is, our country was a group of alcoholic degenerates, that founded our country by giving the middle finger to the king of England because the King came to collect taxes.
From there, they decided that Native American lives meant nothing, and brutally murdered them for land.
While all this was going on, they also placed an amazon overnight delivery order for some slaves shipped straight from Africa.
And somehow, someway, in all of this, the NEW government decided it needed to collect taxes. You know, the whole thing that prompted this whole thing to begin with. But now they were COLLECTING taxes. Not PAYING them!
Always has been rules for thee but not for me. Since day 1.
At the time of the revolution, the colonists were paying only 10% the tax that English residents were. Taxes were a bit of a figleaf. More important was the “tyranny” of the King refusing to override the elected government’s decision to uphold the treaties with the native Americans and forbid westward colonial expansion.
Japan just happened to punch the wrong bystander in the eye during their last bar brawl. Then, we started shooting everyone associated with Japan. It just happened that we were shooting the countries that were more in the wrong.
All of the people we accidentally protected assumed we were on their side and didn’t realize that we REALLY like shooting things. So much so that we’re willing to give guns away just to have an excuse to start shooting again. But by the time countries realized that we have really strange opinions on religion, the value in starvation and disease, and assigning humanity based on colors, they’d already given us the guest key.
We have no friends, countries are either in our sights or not.
Sure, there will be a new President. Vance will take the job in name with Trump as VP, but will sit back.

Why Vance and not Don Jr? Despots normally hand power down to their kids.
Not successfully. North Korea is a huge exception. Everywhere else, those kids don’t last long.

They may not last long, but it’s rare when the dictator is still in power at the end of his life, has kids and doesn’t try to hand off power to them.
Chiang Kai-shek -> Chiang Ching-kuo
François “Papa Doc” Duvalier -> Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier
Hafez al-Assad -> Bashar al-Assad
There aren’t a whole lot of dictators who died while still having power, but Franco didn’t, Mao didn’t, and Stalin didn’t.
Don Jr would be in over is head within five minutes.

Assuming law still matters by then, he can’t be VP. VP has to be eligible to be president.
When was the last time the law mattered? It’s been rules for thee but not for me for decades now

Hey, hey, hey… Some of them were just alcoholics. :)
I mean, being a degenerate was almost a prerequisite to get shipped over here. Cultists (puritans), criminals, prostitutes, and undesirables.
