At some point - if only because he's mortal after all - Donald Trump will cease to be. Between his crap diet, his obesity and the stress he's under, there are multiple avenues for an existential physical crisis to travel.
Right now, Trump's the glue holding the Republican conspiracy together. With no Trump, his base will have to choose a successor to lead their foul ideology - and they are leader-dependent.
But, Trump's grip on the GOP transcends his base. It started well before Trump had that base reliably at his disposal. It started in 2016 when the entire Republican leadership agreed to keep it a secret that "Putin pays Rohrbacher and Trump - swear to God" (to quote current Speaker Of The House Kevin McCarthy back in 2016).
This has always been about treason first.
When Trump succumbs to The Big Die - and prosecutors turn their focus on everyone not Trump, many of them will use that opportunity to blame Trump for everything - especially treason.
Sorry to sound morbid, but I'm in the morbid business. Dropping dead will be the first (and last) patriotic act of Donald Trump's whole life.
