Raving Trump

They’d probably just say he was joking or something

He could start rambling about how he had sex with underaged russian hookers, made them pee the bed, how he colluded with Russia to lift sanctions in exchange for help with the election
Trumps popularity would increase with hes base

Until they themselves personally are affected by Trump policy and get it good and hard. Would support start to wavier.

so not quite as incoherent as "I never watch CNN. I watched it last night..."

Or the little noted nor long remembered speech at Sun City’s Magnolia Hall, South Carolina:

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

That would be an improvement, honestly.

you have a fine echo chamber here

If you don't like it, leave.

Any time.

Sooner the better.

Not because it's actually an echo chamber...just because it is obvious that your intent is to make yourself unwelcome wherever you go and it is BORING AS FECES.
 
Spam and trolling are a terrible mix and both should be avoided.
pardon me, dont want to upset the ambience of your echo chamber
 
You guys are making it harder to leave... But I didn't say I didn't like it, I was just amused by one echo chamber complaining about another echo chamber. Carry on...

No irony in your 'requests' :)

You knew I was a snake when you took me in.
Honestly you guys elected G.W.Bush TWICE before it drawing the right conclusion. It probably would expect that it will be another long eight years

Given the recent display on Faux News I have a slightly hypothetical situation to consider.

What happens if the president completely breaks down, in public? There's some retrospective concerns about how the white house basically covered over the late second term deterioration of Reagan, but they were effective enough at the time that it wasn't an issue. But what if Trump calls in to some television show and goes completely, indisputably, around the bend? Think Captain Queeg and the strawberries, only without the stops so Trump ends up actually gibbering incoherently and howling like a wounded animal.

Would the GOP party firsters accept the necessity to remove him? How would the Trump faithful media play it in their echo chambers? Would this exceed "shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue," or would he lose no support whatsoever among his faithful?

Moderator Action: If one feels both like leaving and announcing it, we have a Comings & Goings thread for that purpose.

In a thread devoted to a hypothetical situation, it is usually considered good practice to limit one's responses to discussing the hypothetical.

If one does not wish to post in a thread, one is not compelled to do so. Doing so whilst pointing out that one claims not to wish to do so qualifies as spam.

If trump completely lost it to to point where no one could decipher him, the white house would probably just dub over the audio feed with whatever they can slap together. And in the case where they can't get him to wear any clothes, they's just assemble a random bunch of clips of him speaking and pair it with one of the slapped together audio tracks. I'd imagine the end result would be something like this.
 
All in all Trump seems a good deal more conscious than Reagan was, at least at the moment. If this comes up it’ll be late second term.
 
Absolute gibbering non-word nonsense probably would actually result in a 25th Amendment Pence takeover. The problem is that, rather than a sudden event, it could be a long, slow slide into true incoherence, and it won't be clear when to draw the line.

What would probably happen is that they would do the 25th Amendment thing if he became so incoherent that he couldn't even get his supporters to cheer. He'd have to stop being able to convey vague emotions to his crowd rather than just speak in coherent sentences.

At the moment, it's pretty easy to tell what emotions he wants you to feel, and that's what he does best. If you suspend your analytical mind - a good amount of booze can help - and just listen to the emotional presentation at a Trump rally, he comes across "clearly", and it's possible for me to kind of pretend I'm a Trump supporter.

Sadly, I'm not enough of an alcoholic to tune in very often. Although maybe I should try now with a recent rally to see if the amount of booze required to make me be able to feel some kind of pseudo-support has gone up lately. You know, for (political) science!
 
I feel like they'd have to wheel out the real Trump every once in a while. If he stopped appearing in public, it would be pretty obvious, although just impersonating him on Twitter and creative video editing might keep things going for a few days.

The other thing is that nobody in the Trump administration can keep themselves from leaking all sorts of things to the media, so the rumors would start really fast. Probably someone attempting to puppet him would run afoul of others trying the same thing, and spread rumors to try to get back at the other side. If Fire and Fury is at all right, none of the people around him can pull off even an amateur-level conspiracy without leaking stuff to try to undercut each other.
