VDH: What Happens to MAGA When Trump Is Gone?
A post-Trump MAGA future involves several preliminary considerations. The first is the health, longevity, and political viability of Trump himself in retirement. No one can predict Trump’s future vigor and energy with certainty. Yet even his supporters accept that the whirlwind pace of the start of Trump’s second term is unsustainable for any 80-year-old man, especially one who reportedly scarcely sleeps, eats as he pleases, and wades into public crowds almost daily.
In addition, there is the question of whether Trump’s second term will be judged successful or will be overshadowed by the partisan hysterias of the first term and its aftermath—two impeachments, lawfare, hoaxes like Russian “collusion” and Hunter Biden laptop “disinformation”—or by crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic, yet another conflict in the volatile Middle East, and the post–George Floyd rioting. The next two years are also an open question: If there is an economic downturn, or if the ongoing war with Iran continues too long into the future, it could fundamentally imperil Trump’s legacy.
Finally, recent history is against Trump. No modern president emeritus—even the most popular—has ever been able to significantly affect the policies of his party or choose his successors. Barack Obama came the closest when he stayed put in Washington after his second term ended in 2017 and sought to help guide the flailing Joe Biden presidency between 2021 and 2025. Yet even despite Obama’s alleged surrogate role, his political capital diminished during the 2024 campaign in direct proportion to his visibility.
Similarly, Ronald Reagan left office after two successful terms and after moving his party markedly to the right. But instead of continuing Reaganism, his vice president, George H.W. Bush, almost immediately talked of a “kinder, gentler nation,” raised taxes, toned down Reagan’s cultural fights against liberal orthodoxies, and sought to expand supposedly insufficient social services with “a thousand points of light” of volunteer citizen participation. Bush was also more likely to use considerable military force abroad.
Harry Truman, who assumed the presidency after Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s death, also gradually drifted away from Roosevelt’s domestic and foreign policies. He inaugurated the Cold War against the Soviet Union, sought successfully to save South Korea from communist invasion, and was regarded as a far more centrist, realist, and hawkishly anti-communist commander in chief.
As a general rule, an administration’s unique political and personal brand is likely to erode under the next presidency, even if it is from the same party. Ex-presidents usually do not wish to, or cannot, imprint an agenda on their successors.
Jesse Kelly has some thoughts on the craziness that’s right around the corner:
The 2028 presidential primary is on an accelerated timeline because the people who don’t want Vance feel like they have to kill his candidacy before Trump endorses and Vance becomes inevitable.
Most squabbles you’ll see now are just proxy wars for that.

No chance. Trump’s time is almost done and like any succession period, there will be fights over who gets the empire. Those fights have begun and they won’t end until we have an official nominee for 2028. Don’t stress it. And don’t crash out over it. Many will. https://t.co/2Bd26dTBa9

MORE GUNS, LESS CRIME: America Had a Come-to-Jesus Moment About Armed Self-Defense in the Last Five Years.
Gun control advocates are losing the public-carry culture war. Seventy percent of gun owners now report at least “some circumstances in which they carry a handgun for self-defense,” up from 56% in the original survey.
That doesn’t necessarily reflect public carry, since some may carry only on private property. Still, the new report estimates that 33.6 million Americans are “public carriers” — that is, they have a concealed carry permit and carry for self-defense “at least sometimes.” That’s a remarkable 60% increase in five years.
What could possibly explain this?
The original survey ran from Feb. 17 to March 23, 2021. Much has changed in the public-carry landscape over the last five years.
One of those changes is a lot less violent crime. Correlation isn’t causation, of course, but predictions that increased public-carry would lead more violence certainly didn’t come true.

A top-secret documentary about disgraced Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes premiered Sunday at the Telluride Film Festival — featuring the wild-eyed convicted liar unsettlingly telling the crew, “I’m not deceiving you.”
The film — titled “You Can See Everything” — was filmed in secret by directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and follows the Silicon Valley scammer around in the weeks before she was sent to a Texas federal prison camp in May 2023.
The doc was aired at the Colorado film festival Sunday night, surprising the audience at the Werner Herzog Theater, who didn’t know exactly what they would be watching because the screening had been kept under wraps all week, Vanity Fair reported.
Before it started, the audience was required to hand over their cell phones.
“Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move,” a synopsis of the almost three-hour doc reads.
“What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss.”
A trailer was also released on YouTube to coincide with the film festival premiere.
And it’s not creepy at all!
No word yet if Sundown Joe appears in the documentary: Biden played big role in promoting convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.

Trump should have shut down TikTok.
