Now Trump is taking a literal wrecking ball to the White House. He is also using ICE and federalized National Guard to take a wrecking ball to Democratic cities solely because they do not fall down and worship him.

I do not think we will have much of a country left by 2028–if he survives that long. And Vance as the heir apparent would be just as destructive because it isn’t just Trump. It’s the Republican Party.
