    Bold to assume this nightmare is still tied to 4 year election cycles anymore. He’s never leaving office alive, and after him there’s a gaggle of oligarchs who will be looking for new strategies of pillaging.

        Absolutely not. They were systematically shaped into cowardly yesmen before Trump reascended to the presidency. It’s why he drove out Kevin McCarthy out despite his loyalty, and why he chose JD Vance as his VP. It’s why billionaires and capitalists feel “politically homeless” right now; Trump is the party and no independent power is allowed. If they seriously threaten him, he has the full violence of a dictator with his own personal police force. He’s burning through America’s imperial power to solidify his own position, and that well is far too deep to soon run dry.

        Assassination or more likely death from old age are the only way this nightmare ends.
