I think itāll be interesting because he should at least be conflicted about using the glass if no one else is. Remember itās super important to him that he doesnāt look weak or scared. Hence, why he resisted wearing a mask so hard during covid
None of this matters. What matters is that letting Trump play the victim gets him votes
You absolutely do not ever have to hand it to the Lincoln Project
From the articles on the bullet proof glass, the president and VP have it available if needed, so they canāt call Trump a coward on that account. Trump didnāt have it before because heās not as important and itās heavy and expensive to move. Too expensive for a billionaire or the campaign to pay for, I guess.
That was a little much even for me
itās kind of an indictment of our system that the president is such a singularly important person. Iām not saying we shouldnāt worry about nutjobs but like if the UK prime minister has a heart attack or whatever and dies suddenly, they just plug in the next guy and heās moved into 10 downing that afternoon. Same thing with isis (to be clear you do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to em), dude gets drone striked and the next man up is already plugging away.
Wait, isnāt that exactly what happens if the U.S. President dies?
Yeah but then the VP who takes over has to find and nominate their own new VP and Congress has to approve that person. Iām assuming in a Parliamentary system that stuff is already planned out so the new PM already knows who the new backup PM would be.
The one time so far in US history a VP had to be replaced it took almost 2 months from start to finish.
Wait, isnāt that exactly what happens if the U.S. President dies?
well it is but itāsconsidered a big tumultuous event (obviously it would be a big deal in the UK but here itās thought to be a MUCH more significant event 1) because the executive is extremely powerful and 2) the VP is very rarely a close match policy-wise for POTUS (theyāre usually picked to balance the ticket, not to intensify it)
Yeah, I dunno. Pageantry aside, continuity of government after the POTUS dies or resigns is something the US handles pretty well.

yeah but like, look at the difference between Lincoln and Johnson. You could argue thatās like, the absolutely opposite of continuity.
I hope the media frames him behind the glass properly.
How do people sit still through all this? Grandpa rambling on about some sports guy from 100 years ago.
Actually the President has no power
Unless heās got an R next to his name
I think theyāre all on the far right.
