MODERATORS
 

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

For most people, it would be a horrible punishment to be forced to spend your older years at one of his resorts*… surrounded exclusively by people who are happy to support him financially.

*or maybe “resort”, anybody know if you can stay at any impeached ex-presidential resorts besides mar-AHHHH!!!-lago?

lol:

i think the reason it's considered a resort is because hes only allowed to stay there for like 30 days at a time, no longer. Since it's not legally considered to be a "private residence" and that has something to do with it's tax status i think? Which i think is also due to it's zoning status.

I believe this is pretty common amongst rich people who own multiple properties.

surrounded exclusively by people who are happy to support him financially.

I think you greatly overestimate who would plan on sticking around if Trump ended up disgraced after the election and under house arrest. He will have completely outlived his usefulness.
