A Facebook response to a friend’s question re: post-trump

Original question posed on 10/7/2019 at 8:32pm by Eddie Davis (Nick) was:
Do late-night talk show hosts have a plan for how to make jokes in the post-Donald Trump world?
After a few comments, Nick went on to comment, “I was waiting for someone to say ‘there won't be a post-Trump world’”.  My response, offered “in my great and unmatched wisdom”, is below:
Eddy Davis there won’t be post-trump! Although the tide seems to be turning a little right now, he has frequently “joked” about ruling for more than 8 years. So if he’s defeated in an election (especially a close and almost certainly contested one), what or who is going to physically remove him from the WH? Not McConnell if he’s sadly still in office; the Supreme Court - not likely. If on the other hand he leaves office for whatever reason (resign, impeachment conviction, spend more time with his family ;0), there’s already talk of some kind of Trump tv and he’d continue to incite his base - even more unchecked than now. Also, I’m sure Ivanka, Donnie Jr, and Jared are all being groomed for the emperor position - by GOP “leaders”. For those who laugh at my paranoia, I guess I USED  to be sane - thinking stuff like: “no way this super-obvious sociopathic incompetent will be elected, but he sure makes for great comedy”, and: “there’s NO WAY intelligent people (even conservatives entitled to their disagreeable opinions and this administration fulfilling their missions) could support this guy’s behavior”. Regardless of the ass clown’s destiny, his supporters aren’t going away and they are the real problem. Plenty of material will remain for comedy, sadly dark/tragic comedy.
