More like he almost doomed the free world and the economy. Imagine if Trump died and an actually competent fascist came in his place. This is the best realistic scenario for America; someone like Putin would already have his opposition in gulags.
True actually, the maga cult that justifies everything Trump does finally got pierced by Trump starting a war only he would be dumb enough to start.
Not that the war was the problem, mainly just gas prices went up which is anti American or something.
This was prior to his reelection, so who would have taken the reins? Vance? Desantis? They wouldn't have turned out the voters like Trump did, even if Fox and OAN and the rest of the propaganda machine worked overtime to harp on how dangerous the left is for assassinating their guy or whatever. Trump has a uniquely cultish charisma that Vance and any other likely replacement candidate simply didn't.
A replacement candidate didn't exist then, but one would quickly emerge from the general mass of American fascism if Trump disappeared. They wouldn't make it in time for 2024, but they'd crush it in 2028.
