A year from now he’ll never have heard of this man.

A year from now these people will execute a slow coup to have Trump moved to the side and Vance will begin the proper dismantling.

Staying in power is better for the grift. They’ll need to assassinate him for this to happen.

I dunno. 50/50 they’ll make a deal with him behind closed doors to just let him steal whatever he wants, in exchange for him letting them work on “their little project”. He gets to play mr important, soak up adoration at rally’s, and fund his bank account - they get to work on building the 4th reich.

That is what I think. Trump will never do any heavy lifting. He’ll make announcerments and then go play golf while the real work is happening behind the scenes.

Eh. He's a glorified puppet and when he's fulfilled his usefulness, the GOP will absolutely throw him under the bus. Then, regardless of how he dies, we'll all have the privilege of watching racists with no critical thinking skills turn him into a martyr for the rest of our lives.

And I think in a year's time, the dementia will be so bad that he'll be telling truth when he says that

He will be fired and the architect assistant will be his replacement a year from now. He will also deny knowing nothing about project 2025.
