It'd change everything. Fascism can't survive the death of the guy at the center. Nobody else has the ability to create a faux populist upswell. The second string guys would fight amongst themselves and fracture the party.

Since Trump is very old and loves McDonald's, we'll probably see this happen one way or another. It's a medical miracle it hasn't happened already.

There would be weirdos on the fringes decades later saying how Trump tried to make America great, but they'd be largely ignored.
