Speculating on Trump's future after leaving office, arguing his 'magic' was making the implausible plausible and that without rallies he'll just seem like a crank playing golf.
- Trump's post-presidency will likely see him as a Republican Party figurehead, possibly still running despite being 'crazy enough.'
- Tim doubts conspiracy theories about Trump's arrest but acknowledges he might be smart to flee to a country with no extradition.
- Trump will decompress and move permanently to Mar-a-Lago, but losing access to rallies will kill him.
- The rallies were everything—Trump was a grifter who became a god through the in-person crowd experience he'd never had before.
- Trump's real magic was making the implausible plausible—the idea that a guy like him could win and be president.
- Without the presidency, he becomes just a crank yelling, and people lose investment because the crank is no longer in power.
- Tim suspects Trump believes he's running in 2024 but doubts he'll make it alive given his diet and alleged drug use.
- Narcissism might be the ultimate survival mechanism—a soulless narcissist grips life better than anyone else.
- Trump will play golf, get fat, tweet constantly, and be ignored—no longer remarkable.
- Eventually people will remark how much damage Trump could still do despite being out of power.
