    Cults of personality are never quite the same once the big personality passes. They tend to fragment, shrink, or otherwise fade away. Members may join other high control organizations, but they won’t be united.

      Depends… If he can successfully set up a family dynasty (would probably be Ivanka and Jared he passed it on to if we’re being honest), and he stayed in office until he died before passing the torch (or perhaps even stepped back as an “elder statesman” for the last few years of his death so he can work on transitioning Donald Trump diehards into Trump diehards), I could see them making this work.

      These people are in deep, and most of them will do anything he tells them to do.
