    They won’t be able to hide it for 20 seconds.

    Everyone around Trump is there to catch the flotsam and jetsam of his power and political capital, when he croaks, everyone will suddenly be trying to engage in their own power-grab plans, it will be complete chaos.

    Republicans have no leader. They have nobody who can take the reins and keep Trump’s only real political capital under control, his dumb-as-fuck hillbilly base of heavily armed nutcases. They will mourn for a week and then get distracted by something and just like that, the fascist empire will start to erode as all these unlikable clowns trip over each other to try to become the next Trump.

      I’ve always said when Trump dies MAGA will eat it’s own head. The power grab back stabbing will be hilarious.

      Fun if similar to the movie Death of Stalin and the example of such a vacuum. No spoilers but Stalin isn’t the only one who dies. Great comedy. Highly recommend.
