    They have learned over decades that they can do whatever the fuck they please. They don’t need to read the room, nothing is gonna happen to them anyway. Also, the public just voted their mascot into the White House for 4 years despite 34 convictions, so they are truly invincible and they know.

        If he lives that long.

        Despite all the shitty AI pictures of him with abs, the guy is still old as fuck and in terrible health.

            I have no doubt they’d try.

            But, other people in his party will try to fill the void too, and none of them or his kids have the horrid charisma that he does.

        It was a bit of a struggle getting him out last time, wasn’t it?
        I think we should compromise, let him stay but force an agreement that he’s not allowed back in once out.
