Give him a couple of scoops of ice cream and tell him how great he is...

Do anything to distract him from real world problems .

It's as good a strategy as any. Give him some crayons and a coloring book. Drive him out to the golf course.

Anything to keep him busy for one more year. His inability to concentrate or to understand complex problems must be carefully controlled.

He is like a child that threatens to burn down the house if he doesn't get to watch more TV and doesn't get to tweet to his hearts content.

Keep him talking about Hollywood and what a big star he is.

If the impeachment is an effective distraction, keep it going until the election, if possible.

Keep him busy. Tell him he did not win the last election legitimately. Tell him anything, but try to keep him away from the military and the red button.

Tell him there is a poll from Podunk that shows he is far ahead of all challengers. Just keep him busy with diversions until the election is over.

Tell him Putin thinks he is great. Just keep him away from serious issues.

in his misadministration have gone... fired or quit...

even the ones they brought in from the bench to substitute for the prime players.

Now... there really isn't anyone around him to keep him away from the controls.

Because in 2017 and 2108, people who identified as Republican but hated Trump have left the party, leaving only Trump loyalists. It gives the impression that everyone in the party loves him, which is true, but doesn't recognize that the party is shrinking because *sensible* Republicans are sprinting away from the party as fast as possible.

It is better that he is on Twitter rather than on the phone with the military commanders.

Give him some beautiful chocolate cake and check the weather at Mar-a-Lago.

Do we really want Stephen Miller to have any MORE influence than he already has?

Mulvaney? Any of the other white supremacist assholes who are surely lurking in the corridors of the West Wing?
