1. They would probably try a "Weekend at Bernie's" for as long as they could get away with.

Trump especially would start to stink fast so they would have to have some kind of life-sized fake made up. All we'd have for several days would be still pics until we started to get wise.

Fireworks in Paris, London, Berlin, etc. Partying in the streets. DU'ers will have sore cheeks from smiling too much.

I have dreams of him sitting on a concrete bed in an orange jumpsuit and a shaved head.

Pence is a toady dunce but I think even he would be a huge improvement over what we have now. And he won’t have the worshipful crowds that trump has. He’ll be voted out handily. But I’d that were to happen would Nancy become VP?

10. I suspect they would pretend he was still alive

He is a well-known germophobe. If they said he was going to Mar-a-Lago to wait out the coronavirus and would allow no outsiders to visit, people would believe it. The White House owns an autopen for signing bills. They have someone who writes most of his tweets already. There are computers that can modify the timbre of a spoken voice to make someone sound like Trump. They'd need to find someone of roughly his height, width and golf handicap to go out on a golf course in a wig and surgical mask to play a round or two every few days just to be consistent with his usual routine. With plenty of tweets and phone calls to Fox News, the illusion would be complete.

Two weeks before the election, they would simply have Trump "resign" and have Pence say he would refuse to serve as president if he was to be elected, thereby throwing the election to Biden in the belief Biden would fall on his face if such a disaster were to be dumped in his lap. Six weeks after Biden's inauguration, they would claim Trump died of "natural causes" and they'd bury an empty casket with all due pomp and ceremony.
