Coming Soon: Trump's Farewell Speech
Mar. 27th, 2026 05:03 pmWhat to do next? It's not that I don't have ideas; I have plenty of those. But sometimes I get stuck in a seemingly endless loop, trying to choose among them.
So I should pick one, without worrying about whether it's the best possible choice, and just go with it.
Okay, I choose: "Figure out how we, the American people, can get Donald Trump out of office." (Ruled ineligible as an answer, for obvious reasons: "Wait until his term expires.")
How about this, then: "Persuade him to resign."
I know, I know: the first thing you think is that this answer, also, should be thrown out at once. Although for a different reason. You agree that if he resigns, that counts as a way of getting him out of office. But "getting him to resign" is, itself, simply not gonna happn.
You certainly could be right about that, but let's not give up so easily. Let's give serious consideration to the question: "Is there a way that Donald Trump could be persuaded to resign?" (And no, I'm not talking about threats.)
Instead, try this: draft an announcement of his resignation, designed for him to read on television. Make it so that when he looks at the proposed wording, he says to himself:
You know, with this kind of wind behind my back, I'll really be going out on top! Much better than hanging around the dingy old White House, and putting up with all the bullshit.
I'll whip up a first draft, and post it in my next journal entry. Then y'all can let me know whether you think it might fly.
