- "drones" has always seemed the wrong word to apply to all of these devices. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 13:56 3
  - Real drones are the size of a cessna and, generally, can obliterate a tank if necessary. Colloquial drones are just for fun. - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:17 2
    - I've always associated UAV with the bigger than a Cessna, tank killers or something that can loiter for a day. Drones are things that we can buy - JD Nov 6, 15:39 1

- He becomes patient zero in the zombie apocalypse -- nm - budice Nov 6, 13:39
- I think he'll play the victim, throw a conspiracy theory here and there, and be secretly happy to leave and go scam some folks in the private sector - Guigue Nov 6, 13:37 2
  - This. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Nov 6, 14:10
  - this is the outcome I pray for. - Jovian Nov 6, 13:40
- He almost jumped under his desk when the hawk moved, you think he'll last 5 seconds being directed by a Marine? -- nm - Max Nov 6, 13:35
- 30-40%. At least voluntarily. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 13:33
- Zero. I wouldn't put past trashing the place on the way out but I see zero chance he doesn't leave. -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 13:32
- I go the other way. While I don't see him turning into pre-WWII Chancellor Trump, I don't see a graceful departure, whenever it comes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 13:30 1
  - oh nothing about him is graceful and departure wouldn't be either. He'll keep on tweeting away. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 13:31
- An addendum to this question - should he get a second term. Do we think he'll at least try to get the term limit dropped? nm - Alex Wilder Nov 6, 13:29 2
  - Could he mention it as a possibility? Sure, I guess. It would never go anywhere. -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 13:31 1
    - "You know these term limits, they are very bad for me. We should get rid of them." - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:33

  - You are more optimistic than I am. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 13:29 1
    - I’ve been told I’m too pessimistic so get with it -- nm - JackDawson Nov 6, 13:38
- eh, he'll have a meltdown if he loses, but I don't see him chaining himself to his desk -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 13:26

  - What's the math on this? Like, what steps get taken to leads that way? (Also, why would he wait for the election?) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 13:19 5
    - Really? Honestly? You dont see it? Man some people are just willfully blind. - Jovian Nov 6, 13:22 4
      - If it's so obvious post-election, then why would he even bother waiting until after the election? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 13:29 2
        
        You think they’ve been waiting? -- nm - znufrii, human scum Nov 6, 13:30 1

        This board is becoming uncomfortably scary for me -- nm - JackDawson Nov 6, 13:26 5
        
        Like I've said, 2016 broke some people's brains on the way things are "supposed" to work. - Reagen Nov 6, 13:45
        
        Yeah, this is a little dramatic. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 13:28 3
        
        Im 98% convinced that DJT is actual Antichrist. - Jovian Nov 6, 13:36 2
