    Has he considered the ratings he’d get with a death announcement though? They’d be like no one has ever seen. Bigly.

      If they make a death announcement and then he shows up on TV again in 3 days, it will really feed into his base thinking he’s literally Jesus.

          I mean they might also blame his death on Iran.

        Are there any online bedding places with a spike in Trump dead bets? That’ll be the easiest way to know before it gets announced.

          There’s been no real spike in Trump out of office by 2027 market recently but it’s crawled up a point in the last day. I doubt you’ll find anyone to take a bet on death, to easy to fix (we should be so lucky) but there are several online betting markets that will take your action on out by the end of the year for whatever reason.

            I should take a bet that he stays in office.

            That way, either way – I win!

          No what you want to be looking at is if anybody’s making any unusual stock investments. Is anyone acting as if suddenly the tariffs are going to be going away very soon?

        With the backlash that happened from The Death of Superman, I agree that he should definitely do this.
