I wonder how many of those will be dropped entirely when he is in power. Also wonder what his retaliation will be for everyone involved in his criminal cases.
I mean, the Department of Justice is not doing any charges now. It's pointless to discuss post-2028 because he'll probably be dead by then.
That is my bet as well. The guy doesn't believe in anything but himself. No afterlife. He doesn't care what happens once he dies and thd aftermath. It's important only when he is alive.
I got nothing to say here.

I'm not so sure about that. He strikes me as one of those people who could be obsessed with the idea of a legacy, imagining people in the future saying how great he was etc. That he'll either end up forgotten or a cautionary tale won't enter his mind.

Could be the type where that "legacy" is having a son that is as close to "himself, but more successful" as possible. Not sure how close any of his kids get to that, admittedly.

Apparently, trans folks aren't even worthy of serving in the bastard's armed forces.

That's 15,000 troops he's firing, by-the-way. Last I heard, military recruitment was WAY down. So, good luck replacing them.

Now see I'm confused. Is this Trump's hatred of Trans people, or his hatred of soldiers? I know he hates both, but who is he more mad at?

Ahh well, not that it matters, he'll make sure to somehow add in no more women in the military cause he also really hates women.

It's one of many steps in the process of erasing trans people from public life. Keeping them out of the military is one way, bathroom bills are another way.

No way this actually came from Trump, he never plans that far ahead. I'm sure the Heritage Foundation guys he brought in to actually do the work of running the country for him are eager to ban everyone who isn't a straight cis man from the service, but no reason to credit Trump with it.

What's the general consensus on what counts as Too Early To Start Drinking on a weekday? Just asking for no particular reason.

Wouldn't it be ironic if a whole bunch of closeted trans people suddenly came out, thus increasing trans presence in public life, in order to avoid getting drafted into the Iran meat grinder that's probably coming.
