Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has loaded up on water bottles, hired extra medics and is allowing supporters to carry umbrellas to an outdoor rally in Las Vegas.
I desperately hope he doesn’t. I never appriciated the power becoming a martyr could be until I thought about Trump dying. We would literally never hear the end of conspiracy theories or bad faith bills made in his name. Think of all the rallies of people protesting the “deep state” that caused the stroke. It would be absolutely insufferable and set the country back even further. He has to live to be old and forgotten.
He doesn’t need to die of it, just get incapacitated enough that he can’t participate. Let people see him as old and fragile. The people who need him to be a strong leader would lose their faith in him

Any case of Trump dying will cause conspiracy theories. His supporters think he’ll live forever.
