Trump understands this and doesn’t intend on doing it. He’s going to feign an attempt at deportation, there will be an immediate challenge in the courts, and instead of fighting them, he’ll blame liberals for getting in the way. In doing so, he’ll not only avoid criticism for failing to deliver on a BS campaign promise, he’ll actually solidify the support of those who fell for it in the first place.

I agree with this in part. He'll most likely will focus on the big cities LA/NYC/Chicago in liberal states, and leave the farmers in Wyoming/Idaho/Iowa alone. If not, he'll find out very soon the consequences of fucking around. That said, if a guy like Stephen Miller is at it, I wouldn't put it past him to do it all.

Most people do not view him in a good way. In fact, Harris favorability was higher than Trumps. The Republican party is definitely the party of Trump. It change from the glory worshiping of Reagan to bowing down before dear leader Trump. Notice, both were celebrities/actors.

Chico,

Here is the thing. What happens when Trump is no longer there. Trumpism doesn't exist without Trump. Nobody has that celebrity status or charisma (good or bad) like he has. JD Vance sure hasn't got it, neither does Nikki Haley, Don Jr. etc.....

Nobody does. Like Reagan, they aren't going to be able to duplicate that success. I heard that in one state, there were 70,000 votes for Trump that didn't select any of the down ballot races. That tells you they were there voting for Trump and Trump only. Once he's gone, you can say goodbye to those voters again.
