2. If you're looking for money, look to the techbros like Peter Thiel, Vance's sugar daddy.

The Trump family doesn't have money; they have the illusion of money. The techbros can easily outspend them. I don't think MAGA will automatically attach themselves to another Trump, especially one as lacking in his old man's nasty charisma as his coke fiend son Don Jr. The GOP has two major factions already, the Christofascists hung up on bathrooms, trans athletes, abortion and Jesus in the schools vs. the libertarians who are only interested in deregulation and money. Vance has exhibited Christofascist leanings but he really has no ideological core and the techbros own him. Rubio, on the other hand, has lately been Trump's most avid and soulless wannabe, most recently trying on Dear Leader's behalf to interfere with Brazil's prosecution of BFF and fellow despot Bolsonaro. I expect at least those two to fight tooth and nail for the 2028 nomination, and of course there will be other, similarly despicable characters who will crawl out from under the GOP rock. Little Don hasn't a chance.
