Trust me. We will be celebrating like crazy when he and any member of his cabinet dies. Will be a wonderful day. Not the end of fascism in America, but still a good day.

I will happily toast whatever beverage is available.

LOL! Love this!

NGL, I could totally see Trump pulling such a stunt.

It would be worth paying the tariffs, no matter how high they are.

I'd celebrate with warm puddle water if it meant he died faster

Trump dying will not end this.

No, but it’ll be a GREAT start

Tariffs wouldn't stop me from celebrating either. Going to be an all weeker!

Depends on how it dies...
In a dementia riddled fever dream? Then, probably not.
Tied to a chair and waterboarded before guillotined to show what should happen to child rapist treasonous wannabe dictators? Then, that should stop it all.

The person who downvoted you is a little bitch, full stop.

This is a shit timeline. I know the beaverton is satire, but I read it and totally believed he said that. 

On the other hand tho, I don't even live there and I will celebrate his death as the greatest of days!

It's only celebration if it comes from Celebration, FL.

Otherwise it's just sparkling grave dancing.

I think most Americans already bought their "trumps dead" champaign a long time ago. Look at that decrepit fucker. I might buy a "trumps dead" avocado at this point, and I am worried it might not be soft enough for guac in time.

12 year whistle pig for death.. The 21 year is for justice. Luckily and also sadly I doubt I need to even buy the latter but the 12 years been on standby since it just winged him. Wanted to make sure I didn't miss my opportunity again.

I would totally donate to a gofundme for a jailbreaker to disable the cameras around his grave so a massive grave piss party could ensue.

You'll have to take a ticket and join the queue first

ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 216d

I can celebrate that glorious occasion with a warm glass of PFAS-laden tap water for all the mind-blowing bliss I will be feeling then and for more than a few weeks after

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 216d

I can still dance when I'm sober, maybe not as well, but I can still.

I danced when Reagan died. I danced when Bush Sr. died. I'll dance when Bush Jr. dies, and I'll dance when Trump dies.

Meh, sparkling wine or prosecco will be good enough. Actually, I would do some hard whiskey shots in celebration.

Sanctus@anarchist.nexus · 2 pts · 216d

I dont need anything to celebrate his death. The event itself is enough.
