3. I dispute part of #4

Ailes is morbidly obese and 76. He'll be bogged down in lawsuits. Someone else will have to head Drumpf Propaganda Central.

Actually, Drumpf himself isn't in the best of health. While he's likely to poison the near future, the prognosis for more than a couple of years isn't that great. He's deteriorating mentally as it is and when it can't be glossed over even for morons, there will be a power vacuum that they will fight each other over for a decade or more, by which time the whole country will have moved on to something completely different. Uday and Qusay will fight each other, of course, neither of them possessing the charisma of the old man and being acceptable to the rank and file.

Short term, it will be unpleasant for anyone who gets within yelling distance of one of Trump's Chumps. However, he's too damned old and he's deteriorating and won't be a long term threat.
