so it'll be quite easy for them to turn on him. Same goes, really, for anyone else - they're investing so much in keeping on supporting Trump, that they'll need a break when he finally falls/dies. I don't think the cult is inheritable (and no, the Trump spawn won't be able to - MAGA only go through the motions of liking them because Trump still wants that).
