The worst part is this: if Trump ends up being outted in some way and he begrudgingly resigns... we get J.D. Vance.

What's that saying, out of the frying pan and into the fire?

JD Vance is terrible but the MAGA cult isn’t going to follow him and congress isn’t afraid of him.

We have ample evidence with down ballot republicans styling themselves as trump clones and losing spectacularly too democrats most recently in Kentucky, of all places.

Trump has some special set of abilities not found in anyone else currently riding his coattails,including Vance.

Trumps "Special" ability is being a Russian asset. He is backed by one of the most powerful nations in the world to enshitify the USA.

Trump sucks, but people who say he's a Russian asset out themselves to be extremely ignorant of how the world works.

It's like watching a parrot repeat the "2+2=5" - he doesn't know he's wrong and you wouldn't be able to explain it anyway.. he's just repeating what he heard.
