CMV: If Donald Trump passed away tomorrow, US politics would in the following weeks become the most divided it has ever been I've been thinking about what the realistic reaction to Trump's passing would be if he were to die during his presidency. I think the media wouldn't, for at least a week, debate his legacy but would instead issue throw away lines like "It's always a sad day when the US loses an important figure" or "Despite his controversial standing, we acknowledge the passing of the president and send our thoughts and prayers to his loved ones."

Then the cultural debate would spake over his legacy. Those on the left would appear cold and unfeeling to those on the right. And those in the right would be called out for condoning a revisionist history of Trump's legacy. Debates would get heated, people would take sides with vigor, and the two party system would be more divided than ever. Also Pence in office would piss off a lot on the left.
