Article makes the common mistake of thinking Donald is some mesmerizing cult leader.
He simply is riding a tiger made of racism and faux aggrievement. He’s gotten to the front of a mob and declared it a parade.
Twice (!) while in between his terms, when his control of his base was arguably at its zenith, he recommend his otherwise adoring crowd get vaccinated. They BOOED him both times.
He’s simply given voice to the neo-confederates’ racist thoughts. He hasn’t duped anyone. His base is in control of him.
When Donald goes, his base will remain, and the power vacuum will be filled.

Case in point, the article doesn't even list the Epstein files and its list of the alternate realities Trump has created.
Also Trump's a rapist, release the Epstein files.
