During Donald Trump’s first administration, commentators sagely advised that his words, were to be “taken seriously, not literally”. Experience suggests that formula puts the cart before the horse.

A new US National Security Strategy and a series of comments from US officials, presidential proxies and Trump himself, have culminated in what could be one of the most profound crises for Atlanticism, the security doctrine that has sustained peace and democracy in Europe since the end of the second world war.

Where Trump’s point of departure was once the failure of Europe to contribute sufficiently to its own security, he has now embraced a more alarming vision.

Coloured both by racism and a staggering contempt for Europe’s political institutions and leaders, he has warned of the risk of civilisational collapse on a continent he barely knows, and that he has viewed more often from the window of an armoured sedan.

The group famous for deciding opinions for themselves? The amazing critics of modern politics? Those groups that take all voices into consideration and make rational choices?

The group whose singular cohesive thought is worshipping Trump.

They're literally incapable of any kind of solidarity with their own kin that doesn't revolve around the orange child rapist. Take cheetoh paedo out of the equation and they'll incredibly quickly devolve into infighting about purity and ideological differences. They're already doing that on small scale about ICE targeting white people or the fact the Epstein files weren't released yet. Imagine what will happen when the orange turd won't be there to be worshipped.

The results are quite simple:

  1. the shadow leadership will try to create a small unified front using people like JD Vance to represent them. Some MAGA will fall in line but most won't because Trump is more and more truthful about despising most of the people in his cabinet.

  2. The various MAGA grifters will start their own offshoots of the movement with slightly different ideologies, but instead of working together they'll be fighting each other like how Fuentes is fighting the mainline MAGA grifters right now. They'll run their own representatives and denounce all other factions, breaking up the voter unity, resulting in vote splitting.

  3. Some republicans will try to claw their way back to a more moderate position, hoping to gain some votes back, but reality is, they'll need a solid decade before anyone trusts them again, if not more.

All in all, Trumps death will be quite beneficial to everyone. Except maybe Putin.

I sincerely hope so, but we'll see. The world has overwhelmingly shown its stupidity of late.
