    I think he might be unpopular enough at this point that his death would be similar to Charlie Kirk’s, where the right is crying and pissing and shitting their pants for a couple weeks but nothing really comes of it except a few conspiracy theory podcasts getting more viewers.

      People lost their jobs speaking ill of Kirk’s death. Charlie is barely an apostle. Losing Trump abruptly would be akin to losing Jesus to these “people”.
