      I dunno, but I look forward to seeing Trump’s death on the front pages of all the newspapers and I really hope that whatever happens to him is extremely painful

          I dream about him popping a stroke or whatever during a speech at one of his unhinged hate rallies, losing what’s left of his brain as he collapses to the floor loosing the last shreds of his sanity, shitting himself with such violence that it can’t be contained by the diapers, his last shreds of dignity lost as he chews on the base of the podium, dying as the paramedics get to him; with news companies playing the entire thing on repeat for a few days while people talk about it, and then slowly they start talking about other things as we all forget he ever existed.

          his legacy collapses into the silence as his name is only mentioned in history class as a warning to future generations.

      From the top of my head: Franz Ferdinand, regardless of actual influence on starting of WW1 (which i don’t think it’s that much), 4 years later the Austro-Hungarian monarchy was entirely dissolved so that’s something and JFK, since then no US president ever dared to endanger letters agencies even slightly.
