I think everyone here will know who this is about. At this point in his reigns of error, either one works for me.

1. A live, on air massive stroke that leaves him drooling and mute.

That is my honest wish for Trump. That, for him at least, would be even worse than incarceration. Much worse actually. If he dies shortly after the stroke? All the better.

A few months of that would be a good start at karma repayment.

Ok with him getting dementia, which is highly likely given the family history. I dont think he would cope with that very well.

12. But thats not really how it works. Dementia robs a person of their ability to understand they are ill

There is a period where they realize there's something wrong. The know that they're hearing/seeing things that aren't there or true, and during that period it is living hell for them. But that's just a brief stage in the journey. Once that period is over, they do not realize that they're the one who is cuckoo for cocopuffs - they live in and believe the delusions and hallucinations they are experiencing are real, as real as anything can possibly be.
My MiL was diagnosed with dementia; I had retired early to take care of her after a bad fall, then her diagnosis came soon after that. I looked after her until we had to put her in a facility; she passed April 27th. It was hell at first; one day she would think we were trying to kill her and take all her stuff and the next she would be mortified, crying and heartbroken that she had been so cruel to us.

5. No way! He would just get every conceivable treatment at the best facilities and we would have to pay for it all!

Then he would go to a rehab center - deluxe - where he would linger for another 10 years - and we would have to pay for it.

I'd like him to remain somewhat conscious, but totally incapacitated for awhile. But I'm pretty confident that we'll never see that.

that the whole world knows your name and face. In his pathetic demented mind, he thinks he's achieved great fame. Like a cartoon villain, he thinks he can rule the world!

11. I'd like him to lose it and start confessing

I knew a hospice nurse that once told me she heard several deathbed confessions during her career.

I'd like him to lose it and do that during a press conference.
