3. I'm all for big dreams

I have to wonder if the inevitable will happen, and he'll just stop getting attention.

There's a remarkable scene in George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead." One of the characters gets attacked by zombies, which means he turns into a zombie. He's in an elevator. There are zombies watching the elevator come down to their floor. They gather, thinking "HEY! DINNER!" The door opens and the guy inside is more messed up than all of them combined and they take a look and sort of go "MEH" and shuffle away.

I wonder if a similar fate awaits Trump. If you ask ME "When did his schtick get OLD and REPETITIVE and TIRESOME," my answer would be "THE EIGHTIES."

And I know he still fascinates the MAGAts, but if prices keep climbing and people are forced to get by with less and less as we watch Elon Musk become the world's first trillionaire, riding on the back of Americans' 401K plans, will the MAGAts become like those zombies and just kind of go "this isn't funny anymore" and walk away?

I have my doubts, but WOW, would that be the ultimate dose of karma for Trump.

So that's my dream...that he gets to live out his final years, wallowing in irrelevance.
