Pretend this is a soap opera and we're writing it together...

What do you want to hear Trump say? An apology? And then what? What if he apologizes and then dies, that is, a deathbed confession scene? But that's been done so many times.. How about if he then tears off his orange mask and phony wig and reveals himself to be an actor and we realize we've all been actors together and hopefully the angels applaud and we get to all get out of these earthly robes and get out of this "theater" before it catches on fire, ascend to the gallery, where we can watch the show from a more heavenly perspective? Then maybe when we're satisfied it's going to turn out alright we leave the theater entirely and head off into the clouds, into an even loftier position - maybe to be part of a singing group.

How should this story continue?

"May I please have one hour per day out of solitary confinement to stretch my tiny hands?"

(it has to be solitary confinement because the prisons are full of the Aryan Nation biker gang, he can't have access to them or we will be living in The Joker + mad-max)

then what?

The End.
Roll the credits.

Then don't go to any more mafia-tied- gold-digging-hypnotist-con-man-racist-demagogue-would-be-nazi-emperor-overthrowing-democracy-clogged-toilet-of-an-insane-evil-imp/chimp-overlord-fossil-fuel-cartel-crime-movies.

That'll do.
Then we all go about our lives.

I LOVE your concluding advice against going to any more movies. It is indeed time we recognize the power of images to program our experience - and hopefully then to work with this power to create good. I'm thinking now how the pandemic caused people to stay home and children watched videos for schooling. and now the whole idea of teaching with videos has been advanced light years and global education and literacy is within our grasp!

Oh it was just the chorus of a pop song came into my head with this thread.

It's Ronan Keating 'When you say nothing at all'. The chorus being 'you say it best when you say nothing at all'.

Rosada, I like your idea of all being actors in this together, realising it and zooming out to watch the soap opera from the other side of the screen:) The way it continues in my version of the scenario? Trump‘s part is over and done with, he is no longer part of the story. The next chapter is disabused Gen Z young people, who lose trust in the current electoral democracy. The State starts taking a back seat. And the world becomes implicitly run by Big Data corporations, who increasingly take over the roles of government - education, health, cryptocurrency, even security, Gen Z votes with its money, boycotting compagnies who don’t share their values. This is already happening...
I asked IChing for an image of the Western world in 10 years: 32.5>28. durability, acting with reason rather than emotion in a context of pressure reaching breaking point? 😳😳😳 Make of that what you will! We are just spectators anyway😄
