Like I said before, Trump will only be taken out of the WH by his fingernails, kicking and screaming the whole way.
It does appear that we've been lucky to have presidents who more or less go white dwarf after they leave office. It is hard to imagine Trump not going supernova. It's just hard to imagine a post-Trump world at all. Hopefully this is wrong, but I feel like no matter how he leaves office, his base will be enraged. If he dies of a heart attack, it will be a deep state cover operation; if he loses the election, it will be because it was rigged, if he serves both terms and anyone but a Trump sycophant isn't elected in 2024, it will be because the election was rigged.
