Money and Power Do You No Good When You're Dying.

Trump has not yet learned that. I hope for him to have a long, lingering, debilitating illness before his death. I want him to have time to think about it. A good long time.

I believe we get a life. Then, at the end of that life, reality ends for us.

there will be an end to him. For that guy I'd like there to be at least a Purgatory, though, in which he spends a few millennia living in dire poverty in a run-down, cockroach-infested double-wide with no air conditioning, no cable TV, and nobody paying him any attention.

Hell or eternal nothingness...

Since eternal nothingness is not likely painful since the brain would have died and rotted away eventually, it's probably going to be his preferred option.

Of course, in Hell, he could have a corner office since he could serve in Satan's court. He's already halfway to red, given his orange complexion, and certainly evil enough.

Add dementia and you don't have a chance of your wish coming true.
Fortunately, the suffering part remains and may FU47 suffer every second of every day. He's earned it.

and even winning the presidency doesn't seem to have given him what he wants or needs, since he's still ranting about his enemies and demanding retribution. He's a gigantic black hole of psychological need that nothing can satisfy, and that must be its own kind of Hell. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to know how to be happy, or even what that is - other than enjoying the suffering of people he hates.

That he is losing his mind to dementia or Alzheimer’s and he doesn’t want anyone to know it.

Like a massive stroke where it so debilitating he can’t function. He can’t speak or walk and has to only listen.

I worked in a nursing home and believe me, you can tell if someone is bothered by their helplessness or if they're oblivious to it. I want him to feel total humiliation. I want him to be embarrassed and wish he was dead every second he's awake. And in his dreams, too. I want that son-of-a-bitch to suffer 24/7.

dying on the cold concrete or in a private hospital room with morphine in an IV drip.
The best we can hope for is a debilitating stroke requiring lots and lots of rehab.

good people usually have good things happen to them. Bad people, not so much. If logic is applied here, on the scale of good/bad, he will die a miserable life. Personally, I don't think he thinks he will ever die. That's how f'ed up his mind is. He thinks he is a God. His supporters have put him on this pedestal and he believes it.

Now, in regard to some of the things he and his Fellowship of Evil has said they would do, I think about it often. But, him I do not give any thought to.

One of the wealthiest persons I have known,,,, just met a few times,
only through a almost $100M commercial construction project that she owned

Was at one time one of the wealthiest woman (women?j in the US.

One of the HL Hunt family oil monied offspring.

She ended up in a care facility named after T Boone Pickens.

I’m sure she received the best care money could offer,
But like everyone else in this world….

We won’t get out of here alive.

I see Trump more as the nurse annoying baby who just cannot imagine he is in that position at all. He will annoy and bore them to death.

I wish we could all tell him but...

Sometimes they will admit they were not good guys. To late when the lady straddling you is pumping your heart.

This will not happen because this country is an irredeemable wasteland of plutocrats, racists, and misogynists.
