      Oh he’ll for sure be propped up and wheeled around indefinitely, but it’s basically confirmed he’s getting more frequent TIAs and worse recoveries despite his treatment. Real question is how bad is the next puppet going to be once he croaks.

        I don’t think there is anyone close to being able to hold onto the MAGA fan base of Trump kicks it. Vance sure can’t, Elon is universally hated, as is Stephen Miller. None of Trump’s kids has any charisma either.

          The whole point of everything the administration is doing right now, is to make sure support won’t matter. Who needs supporters when the vote is rigged?

            They can only rig things so far. There’s a reason Congress has a record number of Republicans that have an announced they aren’t running again. There is a reason red states are rushing to push gerrymandering to its limits. They expect more elections to be contests.

          The next few years would end up being “weekend at Bernie’s, Trump edition”

      They likely have a replacement ready. When you manage to get a group all-in on tribalism juice, they’ll come up with cognitive dissonance and narratives all on their own and fall in line no matter what happens.

      Yeah, every time I see a headline saying “Trump, 79, …” I just scroll past it at this point.
