What happens after Trump loses?

Does he avoid prison? Does he leave the country? Does he somehow try to remain the leader of the GOP? Will the GOP turn away from MAGA and into more of the old establishment GOP?

I don't think Trump goes completely away. Too many of the rubes are still sending him money.
I expect the GOP to finish destructing. MAGAs will start leaving the party.
The GOP is gonna need some new ideas if they hope to rebuild the party. They haven't said anything new since Reagan.

Trump Institute probably, for grifting and hating Democrats, Haitians and other free thinking people.

Not sure of the GOP will go back to being more establishment in the next decade, though. Too many embedded MAGA types.

He will grift for legal financial help and play golf. His 2 favorite things to do.
I think the old GOP can’t wait to be rid of him. He knows too much and they want him out.

The stench will be overwhelming for a few days, but as always, nature eventually takes care of its own.
