    It makes sense if you look at it from Trump’s financial backers Dark Enlightenment philosophy. It involves the mimetic theory of creating a scapegoat. So Trump dismantles democracy and triggers the collapse of the United States, is then scapegoated and removed by way of 25th amendment, then the Dark Enlightenment “Chosen One” JD Vance establishes the new patchwork of technomonarchy city-states from the ashes of civilization. Seems a bit rushed, I think they underestimated the amount of effort it would take to destroy the country.

      Yeah, though - counterpoint - trump couldn’t think his way out of a wet paper bag, and is famous for blurting out the exact crime he’s committing.
