Watched it. Very interesting. I can't argue with any of it, especially the bit at the end saying that the UK hasn't got long left before it dissolves.
 
Hiding in Florida. Only place that will have him.
Melania will be in hiding in the state of embarrassment
Ivanka will be in the state of meltdown that nobody wants to know her other than her fathers redneck mates.
Eric will be back to writing nutjob conspiracy theories for QAnon.
Only time they will get together will be KKK meetings.

There were a number of Trump’s that lived in Boro in the sixties.
My Grandmother was a Trump and lived in Monkland Street.
She was a cousin of Brian Clough’s Mam.
My Uncle, Mam and Aunt were all born into the Trump name.
My Aunt married and emigrated to America.
Sadly, they have all passed away now, but I have a number of cousins still alive and kicking!

That could be a quiz question: which boro centre forward is related to Donald Trump?

Excellent video
 
Somewhere where never have to listen to him again. He can disappear up his own orange @rse for all I care.

My guess though is relaxing at one of his luxury resorts, free to carry on the criminal life he led before he entered the Oval.
 
This could be like an Advent calendar of evil as we count off the days, waking every morning (hopefully) to see if he has unleashed Armageddon or pardoned the Unabomber.
 
I've just watched that Timothy Schneider interview after I made my last post of the 'twitter ban' and it seems pretty clear to me that we are on the same page. It was actually a bit scary how much our thoughts matched, even at the danger of it simply being an echo chamber.

Snyder is a Yale professor of the history Central and Eastern politics and the Holocaust. The author of 5 award winning books. Speaks five European languages, and can read in 10 of them.
Don’t think you’re in any danger of entering the echo chamber, Dood. He recognised early on the impact of “machines” on our behaviour, before social media. Which he sees as, you read as the the great danger in subversion of behaviour and understanding.
It’s brilliant the way he joins the dots and enables that, yes that’s it, moment.

Probably worth reading his book: The Road to Unfreedom

I'd not even like to guess, I'll go with toilet.

The interesting thing is as a former president he will have state funded security for the rest of his life.

I read somewhere that if he is impeached he loses a lot of the benefits granted to him in the former presidents act... including the secret service security.

From the act :
As used in this section, the term “former President” means a person--
(1) who shall have held the office of President of the United States of America;
(2) whose service in such office shall have terminated other than by removal pursuant to section 4 of article II of the Constitution of the United States of America; and
(3) who does not then currently hold such office.

section 4 of article II refers to
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
