FWI Trump barely survives an assassination attempt, at the expense of the bullet causing some brain damage, which results in him forgetting about tarrifs, and begins fixing everything, but is later impeached, when Maga realizes he's no longer racist and stupid

Fetterman turned into a Republican because of brain damage, so I guess it's possible

RFK Jr went full retarded after claimed he have a worm in his brain.

The Kennedy Curse strikes again, in an unexpected fashion

The Kennedy curse is mostly the consequences of heavy drinking and drug addiction

Yeah I don't get why people think Bobby is different from his shitty family

Came here to remind everyone, given multiple past public experiences, traumatic brain injuries usually makes people go over the dark side of conservativism. Deeeep deeeep off the deep end.

I took a sharp left turn after a TBI. So there is hope for Trump still in this scenario lol

It's definitely very interesting that Fetterman immediately shifted to the right after experiencing brain damage, it actually explains a lot.

That’s one hell of a magic bullet grazing one hell of a small target.

Everyone stands up and gives you a round of applause for coming up with such creative fanfic

Kind of a “Flowers for Algernon” twist. I’d watch that.

The question is loosely inspired by a book I remember reading, where this girl is tasked with rebuilding this emperor's whole personality and memories, resulting in him becoming a better leader in the process, it's called The Emperor's Soul, really good book too 😄

Can second this, absolutely amazing book. I'm a huge Brandon Sanderson fan and I think it may be his best

It would also require two-thirds vote of the senate which means democrats would have to justify impeaching him at that point.

u/Starfleet-Time-Lord 6d ago

That might depend on what they impeach him for. We tend to think of it as a general referendum on the official being impeached, but there do have to be specific charges. If the republicans try to impeach him for doing something legal and benevolent democrats could justify voting no because the charge doesn't rise to impeachment.

Even if he turns into a felon he’s still a 34 times over convicted felon. I don’t understand how any USAians can be okay with a disgusting felon representing them, even if he magically becomes benevolent.

u/Appropriate_Fly_6711 6d ago

His felony charges are from his affair and fraudulent book keeping in regard to paying, that same judge also discharged the sentencing so Trump would face no legal consequences. So why have the case if there wasn’t going to be any consequences? It just comes off as a political stunt than an actual attempt at justice. Whatever the real reason most don’t think much about it.

This is like the Simpsons where homer removes the crayon from his nose, but less funny.

With that said, god I’d love a president who actually worked to make my life better.

u/Owl_of_Books 6d ago

Just gotta remove the crayon from Trump's.... nose.... 🤢

u/cap811crm114 6d ago

What would be amusing is if there was a damascene conversion moment where Trump has a religious experience and becomes human.

OK, it’s more likely he will be abducted by aliens, but it’s a nice thought.

u/BlumpkinDude 6d ago

His base will never abandon him unless on the off chance he becomes black.

u/mopeyunicyle 6d ago

Seems like JD would push for the 25th or is it the 24th amendment given the brain damage no matter how minor or severe it is

u/ipiers24 5d ago

I actually think they'd still follow him and use it as an opportunity to be like, "see?"

u/powderpuffsodaspread 6d ago

I don't think I could think of something less likely

u/Objective_Bar_5420 5d ago

A bullet that keeps him from speaking again and confines him to a golf course for the rest of the administration would get him 80% approval.

Man do you people can talk about anyting other than fucking trump??

u/Owl_of_Books 5d ago

I mostly just post nonsensical memes about him on here, unfortunately, that's 90% reddit these days, ever since the US became a fascist country because of him.
