    Ya, there’s no successor.
    Trump is a one-off, and his popularity and spellbinding cult effect on 50% of Americans will baffle intelligentsia for millennia.

      Remember when it seemed like DeSantis might be the successor? His charisma deficit plus his attacking the Weird 34 Idol were just two of Gone Ron’s problems. Sleepy DonOLD is a special kind of narcissistic weirdness that’s nigh impossible to duplicate.

        I saw some premature Desantis president yard signs years ago. That was a glimpse into a different but also bleak future.

      As others said, Hitler wasn’t a mastermind. There was a large percent of the population behind him. Another Trump is a maximum of 20 years away. Probably sooner because almost half the US population is behind Trump despite being anti military, a felon, and a rapist. The next demogogue is unlikely to be as overtly criminal.

      I still think some investigative journalists should look into the NLP connection when it comes to donOLD.
