My concern is that maybe Trump is "useless idiot" for the GOBers?

6. Trump isn't exactly a puppet... yet. But he's so clearly in decline I'd guess the ruthless billionaire class...

...simply wants to take advantage of Trump's cult to get him elected, then 25-Amendment his ass for the more stable stooge of Vance.

Vance, of course, doesn't have the "charisma" (scare quotes because it's hard for me to think of Trump as having charisma either, but in the GOP world he strangely does) to gain the Presidency on his own, but as VP becoming President, he doesn't need to win on his own, and later, in the Project 2025 world, Vance would likely never face anything but a going-through-the-motions sham election to stay in power.

It should also be noted that, for all of the control Trump has wielded over the Republican party, he's nevertheless already been a puppet for Putin and anyone else who has known how to manipulate him with bribes and flattery. He's just not a reliable or stable enough puppet anymore.
