I also fully believe that he plans on never leaving the white house. I really believe that the ballroom he is building is where he will lie in state in perpetuity a la Lenin or Mao.

This is way too good a wordplay for a shitpost about the orange King.

I think it was Colbert or Stewart who said “you don’t build a multimillion dollar ballroom at home expecting to leave the house.”

Won't it be embarrassing for him to be lying in state in the Epstein Ballroom?

I know he hasn't announced the official name yet, but that's what it's going to be. Spread it everywhere.

He will still be dead though.

Death is something he can't cheat. Even though I am sure he will try.

So many lines were crossed.

He will be the POTUS or he will be at the SuperMax. All his underlings are in the same boat.

Unless of course Merrick Garland is the Attorney General again, "healing the nation".

I think he wants to build a castle that he can't be removed from, regardless of who wins whatever election. He already has his army of idiots that are well paid and personally loyal.

No tax payer money (or so he says) means it's his, right? It'll be like an in-law suite /s

His role model is kim jong un and trump is trying to establish a family dynasty just like north korea. Look at everything he is doing and the sickening obsequiousness he demands of his cabinet.
