The Next Former President

Not as a result of impeachment, and possibly not after the 2020 election, but at some point, Donald Trump will leave office. The question is, then what will he do with himself, assuming reasonable health?

The answer is clear–THE SAME STUFF HE’S DOING NOW! He’s going to continue to tweet provocatively and hold id-heavy rallies, because that’s how he rolls. Just enjoying the perks of being an everyday billionaire is nothing compared to being the celebrity he is today. He’s not going to fade away into Trump Tower. He couldn’t stand the loss of attention, and his reactionary fans won’t want to let him go.

That’s a bit of a nightmare for us, of course, but imagine what it means to the GOP candidates who try to pick up the torch after he leaves. They’re never going to be free of him. He’ll be a big black cloud hanging over the entire party. Too bad.
