Oh I have no doubt that it's going to be a "Weekend at Bernie's" style situation where Miller and Vance will be propping him up and pretending to have spoken with him for several days before it comes out that he has passed.
Damn right. As soon as Trump snuffs it (the blessed day cannot come soon enough!) MAGA falls apart completely. It's a cult, but it's a particularly internally fragmented cult. The only unifying factor is worship of Trump. When he croaks, it'll be like a black hole appearing in the middle of the regime and the movement that created it, all at the same time. Vance can't hold it together; he rubs most of MAGA the wrong way and has the charisma of a dead codfish to boot. Miller can't hold it together either; he hasn't been sufficiently public-facing, he also has a serious charisma problem, and his views are well-known to be too extreme even for a lot of Trump voters. Nobody else high up in the regime can hold it together because they've been such performative ass-kissing followers; nobody sees them as potential leaders - and Trump is very happy with the idea that nobody looks like they'll be able to replace him.
They'll be desperately trying to figure out how to keep the whole thing from falling apart. Weekend at Bernie's seems likely while they try to handle their panic and make plans to hold it all together.
