In the world of post-truth drama, it makes sense. Nothing turns around the loyalty he builds when he captures the hearts and minds of his voters. Even if he dies of a heart attack, people will still seek out the kind of attitude he has been iconic for. Eton Musk is 25 years younger, but seems to be following Trump as a behavior model of successful businessman icon.

God, it would be hilarious if Trump was forced to pay Fulton County a big lump sum and destroy all of his remaining merch. I doubt the county has the resources to wage that kind of legal battle, but one can hope.
