Honestly, if he were to have passed away in his sleep last night of natural causes, I would be completely unbothered by that, without any sympathy whatsoever.

Well, that's not quite true. I'd be a little disappointed that he never got a chance to face the justice and legal reckoning he so deserves. But as a means to an end....meh.

And I'm the person who tries to put a value on all human life, even deeply flawed ones (one of the reasons I'm morally opposed to the death penalty).

But honestly, nothing would be lost if Donald Trump were to quietly and naturally pass away. It happens to all of us, after all. Might as well happen to him now for the benefit of the rest of us.
