What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

And should MTG be? Or Trump? for not condemning her given the hold he has over the GOP?

So all his cronies are coming out with their books about how inept/corrupt/unstable/insert-well-known-character-flaw-here. They need to make their retirement money. They must sense blood in the water. Personally I don't believe that any investigation will make anything stick to a degree that will dissuade his klan. If he was accused of 100 items and was found guilty of 99, they will see this as a win and take this as proof that all the others should be overturned. If found guilty of everything they are already claiming bias. But I do believe that he may be tainted/tied up enough that he will not be a viable option at the time for the GOP.

So just say he is not in a position to run in 2024: Either still tied up in litigation, found guilty of actions that would mean he was illegible or (Unlikely) he finally crosses some non-existent line that would turn his cronies against him. Or maybe he's just too old.

I know I have asked a similar question before but what would be the GOP plan of action? Do they look for the next clone? His clones are so one-note and almost comically ignorant about facts that don't fit into their ideals that they would be destroyed in any debate. I know debates are ignored by GOP, especially their klan members but they need the centerist vote too. You can't rely only on the white hood, I mean red cap brigade (As evidenced by the last election).

And I'm not interested in another poll from his klan stating "Oh sleepy Joe sux. Trump rulez". I just wonder what tack they would take. Fox "news" seems to have finally given up the pretense of being anything except an extreme right-wing mouthpiece. Every other news agency around the world apart from Russia, China and other dictatorships has a 180 degree opinion in the Russian invasion. So does the GOP follow fox and its viewers? They will absolutely 100000% be guaranteed those votes regardless of outcomes of any debates or difference of opinions.

Will they feel confident enough in relying on the MAGA brigade? I mean will they think that Biden's performance up to 2024 will win over the centreists so they (GOP) can push for another trump clone? And, similar to another previous post, is this the direction they wish to go for the next 10,20, 30, 40 years? It certainly seems to be (As another poster said, they literally LITERALLY had a Golden Icon of him that they worshipped without irony). It seems an extreme path that is only going in one direction.

And how FAR down that path do they wish to go? When that Margorie whatever is not extreme enough, what's the next step? Do they cut themselves off from the world apart from China and Russia? And after that? And after that? It may seem like hyporbole to suggest this but I grew up in a time when Russia and America HATED eachother. Now the GOP seems to be embracing them. Putin is as hard line Russia-first as any 70's Russian leader and GOP policies and American policies in general are differing more and more from Western Europe and other former allies every generation.

I know I keep asking similar questions but usually they are ignored or someone comes out with some poll they found. GOP wins/Democrats Win/whatever. Just curious about the direction of the GOP.

So really this thread shouldn't be "What does the future hold for Donald Trump?" and more "What's next for The Republican Party?"
