I'm not sure I want Williams to see the Trump era of America. I think it might have killed him again.

Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.

Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.

trump would send him off the deep end, as you suggested.

He'd go back on cocaine for Trump.

If resurrection heals the maladies he was suffering from, Robin would absolutely hate Trump and use that energy to put out at least 2 more non-cocaine fueled comedy specials, and passibly one that was cocaine or extacy fueled.

He wouldn't commit suicide again if all his personal memory/physical problems weren't an issue. If he hadn't had LBD, he would have become the second Grandpa of Comedy, succeeding Carlin.

Like Hunter S. Thompson killing himself after bush got reelected

He didn't kill himself. He said many times that he would eventually commit suicide to prevent himself from developing terminal illnesses, but he always clarified that he wouldn't even consider it if he still had work to do, aka his personal projects. He had two personal projects in the works when he was killed. He just knew too much and was way too vocal about it.
