He keeps floating the idea of running for a third term, or simply declaring himself president for life. There is no way in hell he's going to leave the White House except in a coffin.

In a way, this means that IF he does kick off before then, there will be absolute MAGA chaos because there will be no clearly identified successor. The movement will tear itself apart, because none of them have anything approaching a national base.
