    Two years of a lame duck presidency would be a breath of fresh air after the last two.

      It would be very funny to see the 2027 Congress pushing the bipartian “Infinity Money for Israel Act” which Trump vetos out of spite.

      But like so much else with The Don, it’s gonna be TACO Tuesday every time he suffers a marginal amount of pressure.

          A party?

          I mean, I suppose an entire planet erupting in celebration could be considered one singular party, but I’d say it’d be more like thousands or millions of smaller parties all occurring at once.

      Maybe the tantrums at not getting what he wants would give him a heart attack. I was hoping the all the rallies would do that.

      I still want my dog to live longer than Trump.

            I’m really sorry that’s happening. It’s the hardest thing to lose your best friend. I hope your dog had a life full of love, treats and fun.

              He has, we’ve had him for over 14 years so him declining isn’t a surprise.

      The problem is that he will still throw executive orders left and right.
