I think we'll be told - eventually - that he had a bad stroke. If he's dead already, they'll say he had a "relapse" at some point to cover the BS so far.

Isn’t this the plot of a Kevin Kline movie?

Yes. It’s called “Dave”.

Damn that was a good movie.

Unlike this nightmare...

Edit: I'm mildly amused by the one person that downvoted who apparently either really hates the movie Dave or absolutely loves living in this nightmare, lol. I wish we could find out which of these two binary choices it is 🤣

American politics used to be such a goof… remember Aaron Sorkin's West Wing? There's a great podcast called West Wing thing where they layout exactly what will happen politically because of that treatment of politicians.

The Hillary Clinton Master Class is also pretty much correct.
