He has total power because the GOP is a cult and the Republicans in the other branches of government choose to let him have unchecked power.
I wonder what their breaking point is. He's on the outs with both the federalist society and Elon. He doesn't have the support he used to have. At what point do they throw him under the bus?
All they care about is power, so as long as he is the most powerful man on Earth, nothing. Their plan is probably to use him to get their agenda through until 2028 then maybe change the ticket around or hope he dies in office. I can't imagine them turning on him before that.
In true cult fashion, I don't think there's a bottom. They've decided that he IS the Republican Party and only his death will change that.
After his death we might get Trump Jong-Don, Jr. As a named successor.
No successor would be able to muster up the same support he has. It's the danger of pinning an entire party's fortunes to a single individual.
If they hold him accountable it would set a precedent for the rest of them, they’d rather see the country burn than be held to their actions.
