That bears striking similarities to Brad Parscale's campaign strategy.
Step 1: Steal millions of dollars.
Step 2: Blow it on lavish toys.
Step 3: Try to die.

Trump campaign to Parscale: "I know we're all pro-corruption and everything, but you were supposed to steal for us instead of from us."

I hope he gets well soon so he can be crushed in the election
His getting crushed isn't a certainty (if he recovers). What are you going to do if he wins?

Same thing you will do if he loses?

I'd mind my own business either way. I'm not American, I don't get to vote and I suppose wouldn't experience the effects of that loss for at least a year.

This whole term has been such a train wreck. Somehow more of a train wreck than I expected. It's hard to look away.

If he dies, then he becomes a kind of martyr that goes down in kook-right legend and his influence will infect the GOP for the next generation.
I think it could do a lot more harm than good.
I think it's more important that he lose on a massive scale and do prison time, if he's convicted, to help stamp Trumpism out root and branch.

Christ, I watched Trump's address from (presumably?) the hospital, and the bit where he mentions his treatment and says that there are (and I'm paraphrasing) "some things coming down the pipeline that are like miracles, no, they *are* miracles" and the first thing I thought of was that goddamn Arthur C. Clarke quote about how any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Of course in his case any petri dish is sufficiently advanced.
