Yeah, but which one gets to rule next? That's why monarchy has been so successful - the king's firstborn my be a moron, but there's (roughly) guaranteed only one, and palace intrigue under a difficult-to-directly-challenge figurehead is a Nash equilibrium.
Unless he dies in the first year or two it doesn't change the possible outcomes too much, I don't think he'll be immediately ousted and things go back to normal, which is kind of what you're getting at.
I doubt the conservatives will restructure the American government. When Trump dies, if it's in office, J.D. Vance will be president.
If they continue with Project 2025, well, then I guess Christians will never have to vote again.
