First, I'm not going to say Trump is dying...but he is nearly 80 and things can go quickly for folks that age. I know a lot of armchair doctors are giving diagnoses about his health, and it could be true....or just fantasy. He doesn't sound that sharp either, but who knows how senile he is or isn't.
But this brings up my serious question: If the inevitable happens (he will not live forever) say by Canadian Thanksgiving...what happens to MAGA and Trump's disastrous agenda? Will Vance carry on? I mean, I can see him continue the deportations, but will he pull the plug on the tariff wars? Keep in mind, despite
@richaceg belief that inflation is not an issue in the US, Walmart and other retailers have announced they're going to be raising prices on more items (

Will JD Vance realize they are hurting American consumers and backtrack? I suspect the answer is no. But, without Trump and his name calling antics, will the GOP in the house and Senate grow a pair and push back? Will they do their actual jobs and control the power of the purse?
Will MAGA support Vance like Trump? Will they view him as the heir to the throne? Is Vance likeable or forceful enough to push this agenda further? We know he'll likely get the support of the billionaire class, but will the working class still go along without Mango Mussolini?
