Buy him a picture book that describes the process of stepping aside in a positive light and read it to him every night to assuage his anxiety.

Of all the fabulous phrase-making here, I think I like "dangling us over a fascist hell pit" the best. Because, let's face it, that pretty much sums up the situation.

RBG could've retired and didn't, giving you a 6-3 SCOTUS instead of 5-4. The "I've still got it!" president's childlike selfishness will cost us even more. No wonder the timely parenting how-to! You've still got it!

Show him pretty picture of a place he could go to if he wasn’t president, and maybe he’ll demonstrate growth and choose that option instead.

^ Certainly another thing one could potentially decide to say in this situation; tough love parenting.
