I doubt wed be lucky enough that hed just kick the bucket. Most likely hed have on the spot medical care that would keep him alive. How long would they wait to let Pence take over? Historically incapacitated presidents dont usually relinquish their power do they? Who will run the shadow government in the mean time?
Once Pence steps up, does he designate a VP or does Nancy step in? Pence wont be worshipped anything like Big Baby is. I expect as long as they could keep Trump from flat lining they keep him under wraps and whoever Putin anoints will be pulling the strings.

(14,961 posts)me to believe whatever the medical issue is, it was not sudden. He never skipped golf on consecutive weekends before, rarely ever missed golf, and when he did it was almost always due to rain. Weird.

(6,448 posts)everybody Orange Hitler ever had a problem with--but they won't blame the guy who fed the KFC and McDonald's to him--Trump himself.
For VP, Pence will have to pick someone more popular than he is within the GOP. I speculated Chris Christie the other day. Pence would never win NJ anyway.
Christie will have to teach himself how to do something more sinister than close a bridge if he wants to get along with this organized crime outfit.

(11,257 posts)He doesn't get to take the easy way out. I want him to live long enough to be held accountable for his actions. I want him to be lucid when he's finally brought to justice, and I want him to know when he's financially ruined.

(21,575 posts)if the scumbag dies so does any hope of ever exposing him in court for what he really is. The country NEEDS him to be brought to justice.

(32,086 posts)I agree with what you are saying. I'd love to see him have a long life--in prison. And, I want him to see his disgusting, filthy-rotten children and scumbag son-in-law joining him there. But, I'd also prefer that he is prevented from doing any more damage to this country, the sooner, the better. If his own body takes him out, I would be okay with that, too.

(25,369 posts)Seriously, he's a psychopath and they're less prone to these types of conditions that normal people. He doesn't have emotions like a normal person does.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)Psychopaths and Narcissists have all the emotions everyone else does but theyre all only about them and how they feel. They lack emotions for OTHER people. Including their children who only serve to make the Narcissist look good. They have great passions for themselves. Feeling aggrieved and self pity is quite the passion for them.

(853 posts)1. Trump still can communicate. He can voluntarily notify Congress that he exercising the 25th Amendment. Pence becomes acting president (with no VP) until Trump notifies Congress that he is ready to return.
a. No one challenges Trump, he returns to the Presidency and Pence goes back to VP.
b. Pench and majority of the cabinet challenges Trump. Congress can choose to reinstate or maintain the 25th Amendment
2. Trump is unable to communicate. Pence and majority of the cabinet can exercise the 25th Amendment. Pence becomes acting president. If/when Trump gets better, he can request reinstatement. If Pence and the cabinet agrees, Trump resumes Presidency. If they disagree it goes to Congress.
3. If he dies, Pence becomes President and can nominate a VP. The Senate then goes through a confirmation process to approve the VP.
The only way NP becomes president is if both Trump and Pence both go at a time when a replacement VP is not possible. Or during the 25th Amendment when there is no VP.
