So last night, in an anxiety fueled haze, I had a premonition. The whole bunker under the ballroom is explicitly for Trumps death. He says "Oh its too dangerous!" declaring martial law and sending the US onto full fascism or whatever, then goes into the bunker. Then he just never comes out. He releases videos (AI, as we have already seen them do) but otherwise he is never shown in public again. Everyone knows he's dead, but now the strongman leader never dies. The fascist state can't collapse due to a leaders death (just all the other things that leads to fascism's failure).
