A lot of groundwork for Trump having cognitive decline was laid during the 2024 campaign.
The idea was repeatedly mentioned on most news channels, throughout the blogosphere and it was constant fodder for late night television. Pull-up most any of Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look" from the past year and there will be video showing the President stumbling over words, losing his train of thought or going off into a tangent about an unrelated topic.
Add to this, the videos of him publicly falling asleep, forgetting things and being confused.
During the campaign, I worried that if Trump were to get elected, a cabinet made-up of Heritage Foundation/”Project 2025” adherents would not hesitate, when called, to accept the evidence chronicled by the punditry and popular culture to install JD Vance with the 25th Amendment.
Fortunately, for the good of the country, President Trump did not name an all-P2025 cabinet.
I see every reason to believe he was smart enough to know it would be dangerous to his presidency for him to put that much power in any one group. This has led to a cabinet which includes some Heritage Foundation members in prominent roles, but also some people beholden to him, clowns from TV and officials primarily concerned with themselves.
Barring an implosion over Jeffrey Epstein or a scandal from the open bribery and profiteering, the "diversified" cabinet could slow the handover to Vance by a few months, but four years is a long time for a 79 year-old and if push comes to shove, with the possible exception of Robert Kennedy Jr., I’m sure any holdouts could be swayed by the promise of a future or an influx of cash.
In the end, the result is the same: President Vance.
