Trump’s body will be preserved Snow White style in a glass display case in the middle of the huge “ballroom” he’s building next to the White House, so his fans can admire him forever and ever, like Lenin in Red Square.

He got the idea from Putin.

Krasnov is going to announce that he has asked Barack Obama to take over peace negotiations between the US and Iran and Israel.

Former president Obama was eager to accept the challenge as he still has copies of the old agreement negotiated with Iran.

You heard it here first from Tabone's barber shop.

He'll claim without any evidence that they prove the 2020 election was stolen from him. They have telegraphed what they planning to do for weeks. It will all be bullshit and will hopefully be immediately called out by all remaining reputable news outlets. The plan is Goebbels level propaganda, but will end up being Homer Simpson level failure.

He can’t be sure the Supreme Court will accept a President pardoning himself, so he will step down and have Vance pardon him. But he won’t do it now, IMO.
