    Oh hell no, as soon as trump dies, all republicans with “suddenly realize” that trump was as horrible as he actually is. They’ll blame every trump created problem, as well as every other GOP created problem on the, then, dead trump. The GOP will then take their victory lap for “coming out of the darkness and cleaning up Washington”. Meanwhile any living GOP person that had a hand in crafting or enabling trump and all his sins will walk away scot free.

      Nah. He’s to embedded in the bullshit machine. As soon as he dies, he’s going to be retconned as a Bush Neocon and enshrined alongside Calvin Coolidge and Ronnie Raygun.

      All the problems will be laid at the feet of Barrack Hussein Obama, the fake cheater DEI President who stole both elections and destroyed the economy with Socialism.

      The GOP will then take their victory lap for “coming out of the darkness and cleaning up Washington”.

      They do this after every handover from a Dem administration. “We restored honor and integrity to the White House” was a Bush line, following his defeat of Al Gore in '00.

      Meanwhile any living GOP person that had a hand in crafting or enabling trump and all his sins will walk away scot free.

      They’ll walk right into the next administration. Steven Miller is with us for the rest of our lives. He’ll be running a Think Tank worth $100M+ by the time he’s 50.

        Well, the word “defeat” is doing a lot of work, there. More like after the Republicans stole the 2000 election for W.

        Thats going to be hard, and unnecessary, sell as its not Obama’s name now plastered on the Kennedy Center. Obama was already out of office for 8 years when half the White House was demolished. A chunk of MAGA is already upset with trump. Trying to turn that ship would be time consuming and expensive when its much easier to simply blame the dead trump for all the problems. The GOP wouldn’t be able to claim they’ve “cleaned house” without pinning all the problems on the last one in charge, that being trump.

          That’s okay, because every major media company is now run by a conglomerate of Silicon Valley fascists.

          The GOP wouldn’t be able to claim they’ve “cleaned house” without pinning all the problems on the last one in charge

          Democrats will win a majority in 2026 and immediately get the blame for the nosediving economy in 2027

          They won’t need to. Their next guy will make Trump seem competent in comparison, just like Trump did with George W. Bush. He’ll be looked back on with nostalgia.

      And the MSM will help them construct all those lifeboats and even probably help them burn their Nazi uniforms.
