of the maga electorate, and perhaps through AI, the Republican leadership will try to keep him in office until they can transfer the loyalty of his sycophants to someone who is less of a buffoon. I don't think that that will be before the end of this year.

or continue to hate and spread conspiracy theories. The ones that knew Trump was fucked up but still supported him for whatever reason will try to shift the blame which they are already kind of doing by bringing up how liberals being mean made them support Trump.

Think of Rodrigo Díaz (El Cid) meets AI. Republican strategists are probably already preparing stock footage and soundbytes to keep him “alive,” and avoid genuine in-person appearances. Not only do they retain the status quo of the current power structure, but they reduce the number of his embarrassing non-factual statements (penguins in Greenland, e.g.) to practically zero.

That way, they keep the myth alive, the money flowing, and improve his image to his fox-sucking base.

But I'll be very surprised if he makes it through his until 1.20.29.

Remember, he has access to the best healthcare in the world. Probably the newest drugs. It's just a matter of his body holding out.
