Because he will be stopped. Much like Hitler, Coucescu (Romania), Berlusconi, Yanucovich - despots through the ages. Also famous cult leader Jim Jones.
I believe people - the large majority anyway - will ultimately come to their senses, including those formerly republican, and there will be great shame and recrimination.
Will it be attempts to jail Nancy for ripping up his speech? Hillary? Obama?
At last, when will republicans finally see the indecency of their actions? What will be too far? Will Vlad finally pull the plug at an optimal time for him?
You know its coming, right? Republicans are playing a very edgy game right now. I'm sure they are getting juiced by it. Orgasmic for them, power pornos as they are.
I'd rather be us.

(261 posts)Almost every morning I say to my husband (regarding Trump) - "Is he dead yet?". One of these days, it is going to happen. What a sad state of affairs that I have to feel that way about someone. I could say the same for McConnell and many more Trump lovers, too. If I didn't feel the world would be a better place without these people, I might have a twinge of guilt about feeling this way.

llmart
(15,555 posts)Then my friend called me and said, "He keeps getting fatter every day." Zero exercise, drug abuse, hate-filled negativity will take him out sooner rather than later.
My 75-year old sister always answers the phone when I call her by saying, "Is that f***er dead yet?"

We might get lucky and he drops dead. Then after the funeral the truth of his evil misdeeds will spill out like a broken dam. All the NDA signers will be free to speak and the MF45 name will destroy his family and possibly end up in jail charges.

(63,221 posts)In those two cases, self-induced, but they were going down anyway. Trump would never kill himself, but he is in denial about his drug abuse and poor health. He could keel over at any minute. Or, if things in this country get bad enough, he could end up going out like Mussolini, Ceausescu or Tsar Nicholas and family.

There were also people who called for help against Jones, which is how a US Congresdman ended up being among the dead. And a few people did manage to escape during the melee.
Not satisfactory endings, I know. But it takes a lot to oust a slippery con once entrenched.
Our best hope is his failing health and natural end. I was thinking that it would be best if it happened before November since Pence couldn't even win in his home state. But he might get a cult sympathy vote.

I fully expect people to come to harm and or die. Just hope it is few.
Why do I believe that?
Because these people are just that fn crazy.
ancianita
(36,137 posts)Gun-owning households (roughly a third in America) backed Mr. Trump by 63 percent to 31 percent (NY Times)
63 million voted for Trump
-- 63% of 50 million total gun owning households who voted for him equal 3.5 million gun owners for Trump.
-- Or maybe the 63% of the 63 million total, which is a much bigger number.
I hope I figured the top figure correctly.
Openly calling on his followers doesn't mean they're willing to kill for him. I seriously doubt they are, though a few are definitely that f'n crazy.

(34,455 posts)Farmer-Rick
(10,212 posts)Despite all the comparisons to Hitler, what Trump really lacks and what Hitler had was the love, the admiration, the adulation of the majority of the people.
Some Americans may love Trump, some admire him, some adore him. But the vast majority really hate him.
Hitler was constantly working at presenting an intelligent, loving and normal image to the people. Trump does none of this. He doesn't make any effort to appear intelligent or loving or normal. He likes being associated with criminals and sex workers. He relishes insulting people and appearing nasty. And he thinks he knows everything but knows practically nothing so he won't listen to experts who attempt to make him look half smart. So he blurts out crap that clearly is wrong and stupid without knowing the difference.
The more Pence and the GOP protect him, the more despotic, cruel and stupid he looks. The vast majority of Americans hate Trump and Trump doesn't care. Nor does Trump know how to gain the love, respect and admiration of the majority of Americans. And he thinks he does not need it.
So, keep goading Trump, keep attacking his ignorance and cruelty. It will make him get meaner and dumber. The more he is ridiculed the more he turns to criminals, cons and kinky sex.
He might have read Hitler's jailhouse book but he doesn't know how to implement it because he can't understand normal people.

(253 posts)Just read the average life span for a male in the United States is approx. 79 years old. Trump is 73 now and obese (among other life shortening health issues) so I would expect he could have a massive heart attack or stroke any moment (I am hoping very, very soon). Maybe get voodoo dolls and stick pins in the doll to hasten the process.

(38,187 posts)In America, there is no justice for victims of people like him. Natural causes will ultimately be his demise. It certainly won't be the "checks and balances" of the rest of our government or any kind of law enforcement or any revolutions that does him in. In the end, it will be natural causes, because there is no justice in America.
